Acts of Terrorism megathread

[Threviel]

No, they seem like people that need professional help and care.

The Swede had served time for arson, which is not in any way a minor crime. He should have gotten help after that with his psychological issues.

The Afghan had a criminal past, he should have been sent back. There are lots of law abiding refugees that the resources could be better spent on.

[Josquius]

Yep. Governments are way too slow to wake up to the thread of far right indoctrination and doing something about it.

We are building a cold and hard society without any kind of safety net for people with social issues. The guy in Varberg had no family, little contact with welfare and was more or less left alone in a shitty apartment with a computer and all the time in the world. I don't know, but I expect that the Afghan dude has more or less the same story. Alone, physical needs satisfied, nothing to do and all the time in the world to fall into the hands of propaganda. No wonder that a few of all the thousands act out in this manner.

While I get how such circumstances might make you care less about people, feels a little odd to then have that turn into active dislike and aggression.

[Threviel]

Yes, it is a bit odd to go on a murder spree.

Not directly, but being isolated will make it likely for you to fall into some rabbit hole.  Once you fall into a rabbit hole, it's a matter of luck as to what insanity it will lead you to.

Tell me about it.

Languish might be interested to know that the Afghan was shot in the leg by the cops, and not shot 24 times in the chest.

[Eddie Teach]

Do Swedish cops have bad aim or something?

Did they aim for the leg by the way?

Stabby McStab and BladyMcBlade don't seem like people you want to be friends with. Maybe if you're a youth with a criminal past you should still be serving jail time and not be out stabbing.

Maybe we could group the stabbers together into groups where they could all be friends since the share common interests.

[grumbler]

We could call that a Thunderdome.

Not with groups.  Only two men enter. 

[The Brain]

One couple leaves.

Nothing here about the Atlanta shootings? 8 dead. Suspected hate crime.
