Surprised no one has mentioned this

I suppose it's just more of the same, but a sad indictment if we are no longer shocked by it:

Usually "home grown" though, not ISIS.

Leanne Wood (Plaid Cymru leader) first response to the news of this atrocity was to tweet "Is this more far right terrorism"

Bring me to power.  I'll start by shooting the home grown radicals. And then the thick (those not already dealt with in the first), then the lazy.

More seriously, we will end up in a global war within my lifetime, as we are, at last, starting to vote in less wishy-washy soundbite politicians around the world (but UK is lagging here).  That will make it more of a conflict than the current invitation to slaughter innocent people on purpose because some idiot has offered you your non-existent virgins.

Apathy has set in, no-one is surprised or shocked any more, and they probably can't even be bothered to hold a vigil.....  :-X  :(

Lets hope so, and hope the media leave it be.  Then the shitheads will have no need to do it.

Looks like another attack in Finland today. Two dead, many injured.
I think maybe the countries where this has happened need to take a look at the countries where it doesn't happen and see if there are any clues which might point us in the right direction.
