Police Were Warned about London Terror Suspect
2015-12-09
[AnNahar] The family of a man charged with attempted murder after a stabbing at London Underground train station in a suspected terror attack had earlier called the authorities to warn them of his erratic behavior, his brother said.

Mohammed Mire said that his brother Muhaydin, who appeared in court Monday, suffered from paranoia and hallucinations made worse by drug use, but that he was judged as no threat to the public.
So he was a nutter, which manifested in Sudden Jihad Syndrome. Unfortunately, the highly inbred "Asian" Muslims of Britain have a great many nutters.
"Drugs influenced him, just cannabis," he told Channel 4 News. "It gave him mental problem. He was diagnosed by doctors and treated in 2007 for paranoia. He was in hospital for three months in 2007."

After recovering from that bout, the suspect went on to work for taxi firm Uber but "then he got back into the same thing and went a bit crazy," said the brother.

"That started in August of this year. He started calling me up and saying odd things.

"Not radical, it's a bit like jumping around talking nonsense and sort of like talking saying he's seeing demons and stuff, people following him.

"We tried to call the local authority, they could not help him because they said he's no harm to people and he's no harm to himself.

"I talked to the police and they came and looked at him and that was 22 October."

Muhaydin Mire, 29, from east London, is accused of attempting to murder a 56-year-old man at Leytonstone station on Saturday night, shortly after he and his family had agreed for him to leave Britannia.

"I decided to book a ticket for him on this Sunday. He was okay as far as I know," said the brother. "He wanted to go."

During Monday's brief hearing, Mire spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address and was remanded in jug until Friday when he will again appear at the Old Bailey in London.

Prosecutors allege that Mire punched his victim to the ground and repeatedly kicked him before taking hold of the victim's head and cutting a 12-centimeter wound in his neck.

The victim, referred to in court as Male A, was in surgery for five hours after the attack, the prosecution said.

Prosecutors also allege that images and flags associated with Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
jihadists were subsequently found on Mire's mobile phone.

#7  Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Decriminalise pot and keep a greater eye on those that self medicate with it.

#5   I've been hearing for 50 years that pot is totally safe and booze is so much worse. No support for narrative here.

I read recently that brain scans show that pot causes schizophrenia-like changes in the brain, AlanC. And that adolescents who use pot have permanent changes in their still-developing brains compared to their peers who don't use. It seems safe to assume that some are genetically more susceptible to damage than others, just as some are genetically more sensitive to various medications while others are less sensitive than average.

This gives all the "Drug Warriors" one big PR win. I've been hearing for 50 years that pot is totally safe and booze is so much worse. No support for narrative here.

#2  Your's is little different than our own BP. The messenger will be ignored by the emperor for only so long, then he or she will decide to change the message.

#1  I keep saying the state's sole task is to defend the establishment. A few dead proles is irrelevant.

Sorry to the spooks on the board but I just don't think you are working for the demos anymore.
