Once again, someone who gave clear warning signs they were a risk was released into the community and the community has paid the price. When someone tells you who they are, you listen. Unless you're a judge apparently? Why do personal freedoms seem to trump the risk to the greater public?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The teenage boy arrested over last night's stabbing attack inside a Sydney church was placed on a good behaviour bond after facing court for a knife crime just three months ago.

The boy was found in possession of a flick knife and charged with being armed with a weapon with intent to commit and indictable offence, stalking and/or intimidation and recklessly destroy or damage property.

He was on bail until his last court appearance in January, where his case was "proven" but dismissed with a good behaviour bond.

The ABC understands at the time of last night's attack he was no longer subject to any court orders or supervision by law enforcement.

New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb declared the stabbing a "terrorist incident" early on Tuesday morning, in a move supported by ASIO.

The 53-year-old underwent surgery and a 39-year-old man also sustained cuts and a shoulder injury while attempting to intervene, NSW Police say.
