14 year old arrested on terror charges - Polidicks

[QUOTE] (CNN)One of the youngest suspects yet has been arrested on terror-related charges in England. A 14-year-old boy was taken into custody after encouraging an attack on an Australian parade honoring the war dead and urging the beheading of "someone in Australia," Deborah Walsh, deputy head of counter terrorism at the Crown Prosecution Service, said in a statement Thursday. The teenager was taken into custody April 2 after UK's Greater Manchester police examined electronic devices and discovered communications between the teen and a man in Australia, police said in a statement. The teenager, arrested in Blackburn, Lancashire, was not named "because of legal reasons," the statement said. He was charged with two counts of inciting another person to commit an act of terrorism overseas and will appear in Westminster Magistrate's Court on Friday. He was communicating with suspects in Operation Rising, an Australian law enforcement operation that apprehended several men suspected of planning terrorist actions, police in Victoria, Australia, said on the department website.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/23/europe/14-year-old-held-on-terror-charge/index.html[/url]

Why did they quote "because of legal reasons" it's as if they are mocking this and calling bullshit on their reasons for not releasing his name.

That's pretty messed up.

[QUOTE=James xX;47586240]I think you've missed the point of his post. They used quotation marks for no reason.[/QUOTE] They used quotation marks because it's literally a quote. I always have to wonder how kids like these even get involved. Do you just google this shit on a whim and find your favourite terrorist cell or what?

They did it for the whole scare quotes reasoning, in that putting quotes around something implies there is more to it than is stated.

[QUOTE=Hugg;47586672]but they literally put the "," in there too, they actually quoted the statement[/QUOTE] Read the second line. Even as a direct quote, due to the phrasing being generic they had no reason to actually quote it. By quoting and attributing a generic phrase to a specific person it is like quoting someone who quoted Shakespeare in a book and only using Shakespeare's line without any wording that the person you were quoting actually can have attributed to them.

There was this kid back in highschool that broke into someones farmland and had relations with one of his pigs. I don't know if it was a male or female pig, but they couldn't name who he (the perp not the pig) was because he was a minor as well. I'm not even talking shit either, I'm from Georgia but hey, at least that guy went through with it and wasn't talking shit encouraging other people to do it for him.

[QUOTE=dingusnin;47586202]Why did they quote "because of legal reasons" it's as if they are mocking this and calling bullshit on their reasons for not releasing his name.[/QUOTE] The same reason they put "someone in Australia" - if they were to put it without quotations it would look as if they had the information but chose not to include it in the report, the quotations shows that it's from a statement and all the information presently available.

Boy, monsters sure are coming in younger packages these days.
