To my way of thinking, this is a large part of the problem: free societies never seem able to hold their elected officials and bureaucrats accountable for their gross incompetence. I am wondering … why not? Do they, or do they not, work for “the people?”
According to the report, “Khuram Butt, 27, was flagged up because of his extremist views and his case was examined by Scotland Yard and the security services. A call was later made to the anti-terror hotline, warning of Butt’s increasingly extremist behavior, but officials downgraded the investigation because they did not suspect the married father of two was planning an attack.”
As it turns out, the dismissal was incompetent in the extreme, or if you prefer, criminally wanton due to thoughtless political correctness. Similar instances have occurred in the United States, a few of which were honor killings of female children by their own father, some of whom have never been brought to justice.
What does it take to switch on the light —to finally move against what to me is an obvious conspiracy by too many extremists who seek to murder us.
We can do better than this, yet we sit back and allow un-named officials to draw their fat salaries and hefty pensions even after making horrendously consequential decisions. It makes the admonition “see something—say something” laughable. Perhaps what has happened to us is exactly what we deserve —for our complacency.
What is your point of view?
