[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is pretty clear to me that a large number of Islamic suicide bombers, esp the "lone wolves" who have lately troubled us a lot in the US and Western Europe, are mentally ill young men who happen to have latched on to certain extremist brands of Islamic radicalism, which inspired hatred and violence.  No one that I know of suggests that the best way to deal with them is to focus on improved mental health, better ways to deal with troubled young people, etc.   Aside from the far lefties who want to focus on US foreign policy as responsible, everyone else agrees that we need to counter the radicalizing organizations, etc.

We have now in the last few months had two Americans killed by a neo nazi in Reston, and one in Charlottesville.   Three in our little Commonwealth.  Of course at least one of the killer was mentally ill - that is whom radical orgs take advantage of.  Maybe he selected these individuals for personal reasons, but that does not mean the radicalization did not add to his belief in using violence, or his desire to own a gun.   When will we take NeoNazi radicalization as seriously as we (rightly) take Islamic radicalization?[/quote]

Again.  The boy shot these parents because they were forbidding him to see their daughter.

[b]This wasn't a politically motivated killing. This was domestic violence[/b].[/quote]

Exactly, his presumably being a neo-nazi is basically irrelevant in his decision to shoot the girl's parents. [/quote]
