No doubt we do not even know who they are in most cases. I would like to see it solved that easy but I suspect it is much bigger. They are more dangerous than Daesh.

They are now acting just like bullies and the only way to deal with bullies is to stand up to them.

(25,239 posts)as their numbers dwindle maybe their whole initiative will peter out. Either that or with so many wackos in such close contact they might turn on each other.
