[agchristie]

Hot on the heels of the 14yo. How many more teenagers can we expect?

possessing the Anarchist Cookbook is illegal? Amazon are selling it for £7.71.

That serves up an interesting delicacy Jno.

A one star comment posted on the Amazon listing.
\\ Not half as interesting as you think it will be. Dated and obvious. Sort of thing that a 14 year old would love the idea of but as an experienced adult you would yawn at. It's not dangerous it's dull.//

The Anarchists' Cookbook has sold 2 million copies and legally be bought here...

So it seems the law will let you purchase these items from a reputable retailer* but if you do, the will get convicted as a terrorist.

Sad to say - this won't be the last. A significant number of teenagers are idiots who need to 'belong'.

And you can also buy Castor oil seeds (for making Ricin) and Hydrogen Peroxide from Amazon as well.

The case of the Neo Nazi White Supremacist father and son who were jailed for 10 years in 2013, for some reason did not get any scrutiny from the AB community.

Perhaps because everyone on here agrees they should be locked up?

We can expect many more teenagers, many of whom will have been radicalized within their own families.

Wasn't the cookbook a hodgepodge of 'civil defence' material? Hardly incendiary stuff.

[anotheoldgit]

Ah, out come the apologists.

But where is the talk such as "They are only children, rather than prosecuted them, they should receive a little understanding talk to, and then sent on their way"?

I bought my copy of the Anarchist Cookbook from that well-known purveyor of terrorist material, W H Smith. I later passed it on to another purveyor of terrorist material, my local charity shop (where they had no problem with offering it for sale).

She did rather more than buy the book. Why is the rest being ignored?

[agchristie]

Naomi - Good point. The link is clear regarding other evidence. Besides, why would she have plead 'guilty'? Her lawyer must have advised her to do this.

Will be interesting to see if a custodial sentence is given. Personally, I think a cleat message must be sent out to others and that she is detained. It is that serious.

[naomi24]

I think it's serious too. I don't understand why others are so complacent.

[jourdain2]

Yes, it's serious. Teenagers are very easily influenced into passionate belief
in almost anything and they can be reckless.

[anotheoldgit]

She has been released on bail so that she can carry on with her education, but it doesn't stipulate what that 'education' entails.

She should be named and shamed as well as put out of harms way.

[agchristie]

Thanks for the update AOG. I suspect that the education will be the standard and not of the variety which addresses the folly of her actions....
