Hostage-holding jihadist in Paris is being treated as just "mentally ill"

The jihadist in Paris who took hostages has been captured and the hostages saved, but the authorities are again resorting to the excuse of acting like they're just mentally ill:

A man who took two people hostage in central Paris was transferred to a psychiatric ward Wednesday, a day after the four-hour standoff in which he doused a woman in petrol and held a knife to her throat.

The Moroccan-born 26-year-old was arrested on Tuesday evening after the hostage-taking at the offices of a company in a bustling area of the central 10th arrondissement known for its bars and restaurants.

Police stormed the building and arrested the man at around 8.00 pm after attempting to negotiate with him.

Sources close to the investigation said he had sprayed a woman with petrol and was holding a knife to her throat, while he had handcuffed the other male hostage.

Police managed to free the woman and neither hostage was injured.

A police source said investigators believed the hostage-taker may have been “mentally unstable” and that his motivations remained unclear.

It's clear they're avoiding the hard issues involved, in effect insulting the innocents who endured at the hands of the monster. There should be an outcry against this. They're once again doing a terrible disfavor to everyone.
