A day after a terrorist mowed down dozens of people celebrating Bastille Day in the coastal French city of Nice, investigators dug into the life of the man they say was the killer: A 31-year-old delivery driver and Nice resident who was born in Tunisia.

Authorities said Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel drove a rented, refrigerated truck weighing about 20 tons into crowds along a roughly 2-kilometer stretch of Promenade des Anglais on Thursday night, killing 84 people -- including 10 children and adolescents -- and injuring 202 others.

The attack ended when police shot into the truck, killing Bouhlel, French prosecutor François Molins said Friday.

Violent antisocial behavior is not a mental problem

It is a problem of evil.

He was born and raised a muzzie. Nothing rapid about it. Islam is in itself radical.

Of course it’s evil; that’s a baseline “given.”

Here’s where the “mental problem” aspect comes in, though: civilized society pushes people AWAY from giving vent to their every evil whim; Islam pushes people TOWARD letting the beast roam free.

Less and less so, but there’s still a substantial “core” who carry the torch.

Expect the delineation to grow more pronounced as time goes on.
