New court documents released by a B.C. Provincial Court judge Thursday afternoon paint the picture of a young man so desperate that he attempted robbery to go to jail, which he saw as the “only way to overcome his addiction to crack cocaine.”

“I don’t know if you read my file,” Zehaf-Bibeau said to the judge in a brisk but composed fashion. “I confessed to an armed robbery 10 years ago. I wanted to come to jail so I could clean up.”
“I warned them, ‘If you can’t keep me in, I’m going to do something right now just to be put in.’ … so I went to do another robbery, just so I could come to jail.”
Zehaf-Bibeau explained to the judge why he wanted to stay in prison.
“I’m a crack addict, and at the same time, I’m a religious person. I want to sacrifice freedom and good things for a year, maybe and when I come out, I’ll appreciate things in life more and be clean, or maybe get therapy if you guys can — like a detox.”

Seems to me that this case wasn't terrorism, but rather a lost young man with mental issues that cried out for help multiple times and was largely ignored.
