Miss Hale, you are being watched!

I don’t doubt it, I own a Jordan Peterson book after all!

Computer history, IP address, email, Internet provider, google history. Doesn't take long to find out about a person.
Sometimes a journo will be privi to a police case.

I agree, if you have the authority you can get the info quite easily. Journo's should not have this authority.

Having watched the show now I think the police gave out this info along with a lot of other stuff for public consumption (like his posts from other forums, FB etc.). Don't think the ASF info added anything really, so one wonders... why?

Very concerning, there are some questionable ethics at play here. Question is, by who?

I haven't watched the show. Was it structured as a time line of his life?

Did they come up with a decent theory of his radicalization?

We gave up freedom of privacy long ago.

Sometimes they sanction a jorno to be allowed on a case with the Investigators. I'd say they deemed it within public interest. Possibly a jorno investigated something that cops didn't want let out and was allowed access to other info for their silence..

Part of it was a time line of his life, other parts were 'experts' telling us why he became like he did, other parts of it were interviews with locals who were caught up in it in various ways (mosque attendees, local residents etc.). I doubt we are being told the full story though. The reason he had money to invest was because his Dad died from mesothelioma and there was a compensation pay out.

Not really a decent theory as to his radicalisation IMO. The ususal stuff; loner, fat kid who didn't fit in at school, grew up in a mono culture, started hanging out online with white supremacists. All a little too pat for my liking.

Interesting.It has been said he traveled in Europe recently, including France. Anyone doing that and getting out of the tourist track will definitively discover shocking realities.Should not lead to becoming a killer but you would definitively realise the gap between reality and what the overall media story tells you.
I believe that as long as the media and our politicians hide the problems for ideology purpose, whatever these might be, and pretend to live in their pink bubble, we are fostering extremism:
no trust in the political process: see brexit and where we are 3y after the people voted out;
see the latest changes to the senate to ensure dual party hegemony
see Trump and the cabal against him by the opponents going to the level of treason IMHO,
and read your paper/watch your news..
Rage and hate is just a natural consequence for the few wolves among the lambs.
But I do not expect any such introspection from the culprits.Let's blame Anning and alt right sites

I haven't been contacted by anyone in relation to ferretbiter's posts. Not even the media. The posts are all still there completely intact. None have been removed.

I wasn't aware of who ferretbiter was until this evening when I saw this thread.

That person has definitely participated in many forums and made points from years. Now seeing his first post I also remember it but could not believe 8 years have passed.
As a vintage one thing comes to my mind there could be many misdirected young persons in our society. Often they do not get the right mentoring or more correctly wrong advise to lead them into point of no return. No disrespect for age but lessons learnt at young age are not good enough to tell them or change their egos to be aligned on track.
One of my voluntary tasks has been for last two decades to help people who needed. I spend lot of time for Engineers Australia and now for couple of years going to different secondary schools to mentor the year 11-12 students and their parents (yes they have no clue on career path even have lots of money to spend or waste) in career expos from Engineers Australia. It gives me enormous satisfaction reflecting from the glowing faces of those children after my interaction.
Why I am sharing this because many of us are probably doing the same thing and sometimes it is important for newbies on this forum also to give some helping hands to get encouraged and be constructive .
Sorry for long verbosity but it is something I am passionate about - growing the youth generation.

Fantastic "investment" Miner

Per the show..he did witness an islamic terrorist attack in Sweden (with fatalaties including children) IIRC. That could have been formative for him?

 

[qldfrog]

was not aware but could definitively have pushed him over the edge
