      Quote from article:

      Jailing him for a total of seven years on six counts of possessing information useful for terrorism, the judge, Peter Lodder KC said the evidence “clearly demonstrates terrorist connections and motivations”.

      Are we really jailing people for possessing information? What would even qualify for that? I mean I served in the military, am I liable for that? What if I know how to drive a truck? I mean judging from the article it seems like he was willing to do something and good for us they stopped him, but he got sentenced for possessing information?! This is madness…

      What are your thoughts?

      P.S. I know it’s sky news, a newspaper which should be published in rolls and without text, but it’s a common source in this sub…

      Thank goodness. This is how we keep ourselves from being lawless America

      Probably not so much the “downloading 3D printing gun instructions” as

      “Downloading 3D printing gun instructions” (along with texts by Philip Luty, an infamous DIY gun manufacturer)+”Trying to buy a 3D printer”+”Being an ISIS supporter”+”Being in possession of several propaganda texts promoting suicide attacks.”

      Pretty much a textbook intent to commit a terrorist attack.

      “In one post, he stated: “We have to kill them along with their kuffar [non-believer] brothers, no mercy. The munafiqeen [hypocrites] are the reason we are weak today.””

      “Jailing him for a total of seven years on six counts of possessing information useful for terrorism, the judge, Peter Lodder KC said the evidence “clearly demonstrates terrorist connections and motivations”

      I’m going out on a limb and assuming the six counts is the best they can do because this seems to be quite an early catch. From what I’ve gathered he hadn’t started to plan actual location to attack but was getting the equipment to do so. He’s got the intent but he hasn’t even printed a gun so they can’t catch him on that even though he was quite clearly gunning for a printer.

      Why bother printing a gun? Just get a lathe…

      Seriously, kids these days… if you can’t click-get-it it doesn’t exist. Just go to wikipedia, they have links to manuals

      (scratch that; they’re hosting the actual handbooks lol)

      > …had used encrypted messaging app Telegram – nicknamed “terrorgram” by experts – to download instructions…

      What a weird sentence.

      Jailing someone for “possessing information useful for terrorism” is soo ridiculous and Orwellian. If there he was planning an attack then please jail him for that (which it does sound like he was, but it wasn’t proven?), but not for possessing information.

      Obviously this is UK, are the laws in the rest if Europe similarly bad?
