text: Good article, but it makes one think that the the reaction to these events from politicians and the media is a major contributor to the  recurrence of similar events. The goal of the perpetrators is to make worldwide news, and they achieve that, every time.  Would there be any point in killing  innocent people they don't even know and facing almost certain death themselves except for the attention they expect to receive as a result of what they have done? 
  
  And what is Theresa May talking about? What value is there in anything she said?  She is a political opportunist. 
  
  The news reports say the perpetrator in this case was a loner but that 8 people have been arrested. What is the explanation for the apparent contradiction?  
  
  It is also news today that the perpetrator of the threats against Jewish institutions in America and elsewhere is a teenager, a person with no ability or intention to carry through on anything, no doubt just another nut case.
