The gunman in the weekend terror attacks in Copenhagen [shootings at the Krudttoenden Café] grew up amid a violent gang culture that ultimately rejected him for his uncontrollable behavior.
The Danish-born 22-year-old, reportedly of Arab origins, was killed in a shootout with police. He was "well-known for several criminal incidents, including weapons violations, violence, and connection to gangs.
It was an environment with a lot of gang wars where you couldn't move around freely," Soei said. "The gang wars in Copenhagen started back in 2008 when (El-Hussein) was 15 years old and that's the environment he's been a part of. In his neighborhood, every kid knows someone who's been killed by other gangs.
Deprived of his gang identity and serving time in prison for a violent offense, unprovoked stabbing on a commuter train in 2013, he appears to have radicalized.
Two weeks after leaving prison, he carried out the shootings at the Krudttoenden Cafe, which was hosting a free-speech forum, and the synagogue. His former gang has since disowned his actions.
This is a rejection of the society and its values that hosted himself and his family for years. Intern the society should let him Go back to his original country and avoid the drama. Just a thought.
