Even the arrests after each attack give comfort to the enemy, which can act with impunity even if known.
From all this the terrorists surely draw a great deal of comfort. It gives them the impression of living in a weak society that will be easy to destroy, so that their acts are not in the least nihilistic or pointless, as is often claimed. They perceive ours as a candle-and-teddy-bear society (albeit mysteriously endowed with technological prowess): We kill, you light candles.
The other day I passed a teddy-bear shop, that is to say a shop that sold nothing but teddy bears. I am sure that terrorism is good for business, but the teddy bears are more reassuring for the terrorists than for those who buy them to place on the site of the latest outrage.
Another source of comfort for terrorists is that after every new atrocity, the police are able to arrest multiple suspected accomplices. That suggests the police knew the attackers’ identities in advance but did nothing—in other words, that most of the time terrorists can act with impunity even if known. Here, then, is further evidence of a society that will not defend itself seriously. This is not just a British problem.
The April murder of a policeman on the Champs Elysées in Paris was committed by a man who had already tried to kill three policemen, who was known to have become fanaticized, and who was found with vicious weapons in his home. The authorities waited patiently until he struck.

Don’t forget the Heart Balloons.
Let’s see how long it takes the Brits to counterattack with candlelight vigils, flowers and the especially those savage teddy bears.
This is another Teary Solidarity Week in the UK. Flowers, candles, and teddy bears are accumulating in their appointed places. Photos of the slain are being displayed on television and in the newspapers, and weepy citizens are lamenting their tragic loss. New hashtags proliferate on social media. And politicians recycle their tired clichés about standing together and not letting the terrorists divide us and etc blah yak.
Things continue the same, in Britain and throughout the Multicultural West.
Thanks for Zakeet for the above!
The above is The Stockholm Syndrome on national scales.
Thanks to our second amendment, this is how we coexist!
I work with Americans (so-called) who don’t even know there have been any terrorist attacks, or that there are potential terrorists living and working side by side with them. All they know is, (1)they need to be “hating” DJT cuz everyone else does, (2) they need to figure out what they’ll eat for dinner, (3) they need to decide who they’ll have sex with next, and (4) they need to find out how pretty their car looks or how fast it will go. Sheep to the slaughter.
