The question you're really asking is about individual due process though.
I just find the "we must understand the root cause" thing so galling at this point. Insisting to the public that yet another instance of a completely obvious and identifiable pattern of global terrorism should be thought of as somehow isolated strikes me as flagrantly irresponsible and cowardly.

The cart goes after the horse. Our legal priors and process outweigh any individual criminal act.

It kinda sucks and is kinda great, too.

So is he "acting alone" if his buddy Fred told him to do it, but Fred just wasn't in the truck at the time?
What if Fred paid for the truck rental? Define alone.

I'm just bitching about media cowardice and double standards. My usual thing.

I think the acting alone thing comes from the old days when terror was rare and shocking, rather than a daily occurrence. Back then they wanted to be assured that everything was going to be ok (everything was, those boomer bastards) and there were no bad guys sneaking around looking to blow up anything else.

On another note, is china smoking us out?

"Bird Striking" with a swarm into all 4 engines simultaneously of a jumbo jet is the box cutter security hole of our time, shit was talked about in 2015 as a danger from mass adopting amazon delivery drones as a million to one accident involving 1 drone and 1 engine, quadcopter swarm used on purpose to take a plane down was in a anime 2 years ago.

edit: i shouldn't have deleted my meme folder years ago, went looking for the funny greentext story about a pissed alphabet person talking about having to write threat matrices and assessments for shitposting idiots for his boomer boss and having to explain memes and internet culture to him, i wanted to post that but I'll Fuckin' Do It Again goofy works also i guess.

I agree that trying to solve the “root cause” always just becomes a cop out to do nothing. Pretend you are working when the boss comes by while sitting on your phone

“I’m sorry sir, I know you have cancer but our oncology center has decided to devote all its resources to figuring out the root causes of cancer and stopping those”

“But I have cancer now, it’s killing me”

“Sorry sir, the root cause is more important”


But in regards to recent events. Some dude got divorced, lost his mind over it, and went on a rampage. It’s not all that dissimilar from many other criminal actions like that in the past

It was the divorce and the need for demonstrating re-establishing control that was the “root cause” there

Edit: oops this is in regards to a diff event possibly

My beef is He WuZ aNaMeRiCaN from the news networks.

No shit guys, but who converted him to the terrorist mindset?

If you look on his youtube though, he seems more like an American black muslim than any other type. In a day gone by he would have been NoI instead of a bomber.

My biased mind takes 'Jabbar' as evidence of the above.
