| | | Scott Adams and Jordan Peterson give the best explanations of Stephen Paddock's horror. It wasn't terrorism which is intended to have political consequence. Jihad, IRA, Weathermen, Mr Invictus McVeigh, Guy Fawkes, France frogmen and woman who bombed the Rainbow Warrior, Yasser Arafat and co, Beslan, Moscow theatre and on and on and on are terrorism as a political outcome is sought.
Alek's attack has all the hallmarks of jihad as done many times in Europe. If betting money, if if walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, flies like a duck, waddles like a duck, swims like a duck then it's probably a duck rather than an Amish tea-lady in drag going crooked on her way to buy groceries.
Come on, get your money out and let's play the odds.
