As for the accusation of "blame-shifting?"

Now that is something that you excel at.
As is obvious from your posting record on
this forum. Do try sticking to what is actually
being said and by whom. It might give you some
credibility.

Tks O Sung Wu, well it does help a bit.
As I see it anyone who decides to blow up a train full of passengers
or a football stand of people who he has never met because most or
all of them do not follow his religion and as a reward expects to gain
entry to heaven and have 72 virgins made available to him has GOT to be insane !
Should he be committed for the term of his natural life ?

Should the person who told him of these rewards also be charged, and
the scriptures on which it is based be destroyed, burnt and removed from the internet ?
Is it a crime to incite someone to commit a crime and to publish
a document that incites a crime.

These are questions that politicians are running away from as fast
as their legs will go.
Are there laws already in place that cover these situations ?

Dear Bazz,

As Jeff Kennett has pointed out - "The law in
Victoria should be changed to remove the clause
that excuses people from standing trial if they
are judged to be mentally unfit to do so."

"Everyone who commits a crime that is serious
enough to be brought before a court should be
held responsible for their actions, regarding
of their so-called mental condition."

As Mr Kennett explains - "it is too easy to get
mental advice supporting mental incapacity."

And - "Certainly, use of drugs, be it ice or any
other illegal substance, is no excuse for committing
a crime."

"The Victorian parliament should make changes to
the law relating to competency to stand trial for
a criminal action..."

Mr Kennett makes it clear that when he says -
"we have to stop making excuses for those who commit
serious offences. It sends the wrong messange, and
discourages those whom we expect to protect us."

He explains that " Not only are we less safe than we were
previously, but our emergency services, who on many
occasions put their lives on the line, are having the
rug pulled from under their feet by a government that fails
to act, and by a judicial system applying laws that in many
cases are no longer appropriate."

"If we,as Victorians, are serious about our safety, we can
make Victoria a safe place to live. That must start by
ensuring we have laws in place that cannot be avoided by those
who commit crimes."

And that is the opinion of a former Premier of Victoria.

You do not invite a person into your home and then advise him of the rules
You tell him before hand so he can make an informed decision as to whether to enter.
If he agrees, enters and misbehaves it is up to you to eject him
If, for whatever reason you do not eject him, you are accepting the new order.

SD,

"If, for whatever reason you do not eject him, you are accepting the new order."

Even if he has a knife at your throat?

silly you for letting it get that far
