Beware the Known Wolf Attacker

What do terrorist attacks from Ft. Hood to the Boston Marathon, Manchester, and the London Bridge have in common? For all the pundit-prattle and the endless handwringing over what to do to prevent future attacks, the answer is obvious -- and it’s not “if you see something, say something”. It’s if you know something do something.

In virtually every terrorist attack we find that the perpetrators were on this or that watch list, had been previously reported to police, or were otherwise known to authorities. British PM Teresa May might want stricter controls on cyber chatter, but let her explain how terrorists can be, not only on police radar but on British TV shown practicing their craft, and British authorities do nothing.

These are not “lone wolf” attacks, but rather “known wolf” attacks by jihadis already on the radar of authorities who are otherwise too short on resources or too intimidated by political correctness to do anything. As ABC News reported on suspects in the London Bridge attack:

These are terrorist attacks
where the FBI and DHS
RECEIVED WARNINGS IN ADVANCE.
[The force was weak].

Therefore,
"Multiple-Ignored-warning Lone-wolf terrorist attacks",
they are.

[Diogenesis]

Therefore,
"Multiple-Ignored-warning KNOWN-wolf terrorist attacks",
they are.

For the benefit of the rest of us, “known wolves” should be required to (metaphorically) wear a bell around their neck.

The authorities know who to “watch” but out of fear of being called racist/islamaphobic they fail to act.

AMERICA'S MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR SECURITY MONITORS

Have you seen this LifeLock TV Commercial of the uniformed bank security officer who says "I'm not a security guard, I'm a security monitor"?

That's our Homeland Security Department and our miulti-billion dollar security agencies.

For the most part they seem to function as not much more than security monitors - collecting and collating data about terrorists and potential evil-doers.

But at least where muslim terrorists are concerned they don't seem to act on it before the terrorists get out there and murder more innocent Americans.

And after almost every muslim terrorist act we find out that the perps were known to our security agencies but no action was taken until it was time to bring in the locals to draw chalk outlines around the bodies of their victims.

Yet the feds sure do seem to act quickly and decisively when the person of interest is a conservative gun owner with a complaint against the federal government or a dirt farmer who dug a drainage ditch on his property without an EPA permit.
