Ballout was born in Germany, the minister said. His mother was naturalized in 2002, three years before he was born.
So this reminds me of something I learned growing up in an area with a lot of Latino gang violence.
The people with these angry disillussioned attitudes were never first generation immigrants who have just arrived. Those are generally polite law abiding citizens who are glad to have gotten somewhere safer.
The people inovled with gangs were second and third generations who were caught between the culture of their parents and the culture of the nation in which they now live.
It was theorized to be related to feelings of isolation. Isolated from the world their parents come from, and through racism and discrimination, isolation from the world they exist in now. Two different worlds pulling at them and they don’t feel like they belong in either world.
So they seek out others like themselves, and like many lost young men, they begin to radicalize.




Boy, George you sure are a cunt.
