re: #105 Ben Hur

If that was truly his motive. Sure. We actually don’t know yet. Yes there are reports that someone was posting crap on the net. There is no evidence I know of, that it was him. So far the evidence presented makes it look like he acted alone.

In any case, it clearly - now at least - looks like he cracked. Honestly there should be a 48 hour rule for this.

If he acted alone, in some sense so what about the jihadi part?
If he was a jihadi, he was a jihadi. If he did it because he thought there were alien probes in his head, so what? If it were a group thing then that is a different case, that gives you a group to hunt. If it is a lone shooter who cracked, and you have the shooter in custody, then there is no larger threat to go nuts about.

I am not trying to diminish the problem of jihadis. I hate them as much as I hate Nazis, Klansmen and Stalinists. However, you can only fight them as a group. In a free society, their literature is out there, and a psycho who is infected with it, will only find something else to go psycho with if you take a particular odious literature away.
