This is *not* a "harmless nerd" with just an interest in science (and who decided to cosplay as Harry Potter for his Court date!) - its worrying it seems his involvement in racist chat *and* use of hard drugs (which can cause impulsive and irrational behaviour) was overlooked, he seemed to be concentrating on #explosives and #IEDs rather than wider science experiments. #Autism isn't an excuse for this sort of behaviour either!

At least he's in #jail for the moment and hopefully will stay there for a while (its possible the authorities could have thwarted a worse attack on #Luton which is a very multicultural area..)
