Hollande plays into PISSI's hands

mardi 30 juin 2015 à 14:00

One person was killed in a possibly terrorist attack in France.

One additional murder in France is insignificant compared with the background rate of violence, but because this murder is "terrorism", it gives politicians an opportunity to spread panic by looking tough, and pass more tyrannical laws.

In PISSI and other Islamic terror groups, the evil side of humanity escapes control; their violence is meant to shock us into panic. Hollande, never a very deep thinker, is playing into PISSI's hands, while perhaps telling himself that PISSI has played into his.

If we are wise, we will condemn and despise these murderers, but stay calm.
