"Are the French incompetent, or is something else going on?
It turns out one of the attackers who killed and beheaded an 86-year old Catholic priest at Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray near Rouen, Normandy was a convicted terrorist.
The as-of-yet unnamed terrorist was ordered to live with his parents and wear an electronic tag to monitor his movements. He was allowed out unsupervised between 8:30 am and 12:30 pm. The murder of Father Jacques Hamel occurred between 9:45 and 11 am. The suspect was arrested after he left for Syria in 2015 to join the jihadists trying to overthrow the government of Bashar al-Assad."
