Hang them all!

A week before Christmas two young ladies from Scandinavia vacationing in Morocco - Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, 24, from Denmark, and Maren Ueland, 28, from Norway - were brutally stabbed and decapitated and then had the final moments of their lives uploaded as triumphal snuff videos to Facebook, Twitter, 4Chan and Reddit, the Four Horsemen of the Social-Media Apocalypse.
Fortunately, if you were thinking of getting a little nervous about your next holiday in the Maghreb, this bloody double-murder was the work of merely another "lone wolf":
In a press conference in Rabat yesterday, police and domestic intelligence spokesman Boubker Sabik labelled the suspects "lone wolves"...
Wait a minute: "lone wolves" plural? You mean, the wolf wasn't lone? No, indeed:
What 'lone wolf' gang did before Scandinavian tourist beheadings
There's a whole gang of lone wolves?
A motley crew of "lone wolves", including two street vendors, a plumber and a carpenter, hunted backpackers to kill in the Moroccan mountains.
At last count, nineteen "lone wolves" have been arrested for the double-murder. That's a rugby team plus bridge four of lone wolves. They're the least lonesome lone wolves in town.

Hang them all!
Unbelievable.
Just as "all politics is local", all jihad is lone.
And, if you use the phrase often enough, it has such a pleasing anesthetizing effect you don't even notice that you're sitting there typing, perfectly seriously, about a gang of nineteen lone wolves. Same number as the 9/11 hijackers, by coincidence.
Mark Steyn hits another one out of the park...
I would go to Morocco and start hunting.
No, decapitate them all. With a dull, rusty knife. Slowly.
FYI - Mark Steyn is hosting the Tucker Carlson Show tonight.
These jihadists are so fanatical about their 7th Century beliefs that they wear modern western clothing, hoodies with ties and zippers! I hate such cultural appropriation!
Who was their religious leader, what religious schools did they attend? Cut them before they breed more of these fanatics!
Which part do you find unbelievable?
When lone wolves band together, it’s called a pack. But let’s not associate sadistic evil murderers with wild animals. It’s using animals to humanize people with no humanity. It’s like 9/11. The media never released a photo or video of what the people who jumped from the tower looked like after they were killed jumping from the flames. The closest was the foreign journalist who was filming the nearby fire stations new recruits in their first year of duty. He’s under a covered area, and you keep hearing thplats on the audio. He explains that that is the sound of jumpers hitting the ground, and he will not ever release that footage.
Look if you’re stupid enough as a pretty western girl to go to any Muslim country for any reason. You’re nuts and deserving of a Darwin Award
...... we never buy anything the msm is selling......
He says things so well.
Wild Canadian grey wolves are evil sadistic murderers that kill in packs for sport, for fun.
Just sayin'.
In some dark corner of Hell, that evidently seemed like a good idea...
In the latter part of Steyn’s commentary he writes:
“””~My old friend Daniel Hannan writes today about why we all hate each other, and concludes it’s because the western world’s IQ gains of the twentieth century are being dramatically reversed:
The fall in IQ scores in the West is perhaps the most under-reported story of our era. For most of the twentieth century, IQ rose by around three points per decade globally, probably because of better nutrition. But that trend has recently gone into reverse in developed countries.
You hadn’t heard? I’m not surprised. Journalists and politicians won’t go near the subject and you can see why.
Consider the theories offered by neuroscientists for the decline. Some argued it had to do with the rising age of motherhood, because the children of older mothers tend to have lower IQs, other things being equal. No one likes to say this, because it can come across as “older moms have dumb kids,” which is not true. (My wife and I were 44 when our youngest child was born, and my own parents were also elderly, but that didn’t make me too thick to grasp the concept of statistical distributions.)
Other theories were even more explosive. For example, that unintelligent people were having more kids, or that the fall in average scores reflected immigration from places with lower IQs.
But a new study from Norway, which examines IQ scores from 730,000 men (standardized tests are part of military service there) disproves all these ideas, because it shows IQ dropping within the same families. Men born in 1991 score, on average, five points lower than men born in 1975.
There must, in other words, be an environmental explanation, and the chronology throws up a clear suspect: the rise in screen-time.
Kids brought up with Facebook and Instagram are more politically bigoted, not because they don’t hear alternative opinions, but because they don’t learn the concentration necessary to listen to opponents — a difficult and unnatural skill.
Dan’s column is well worth a read.
I would add a couple of points: First, the viciousness is beyond mere politics. It took me a long while, for example, to get used to the ugliness of YouTube comments on whether Tweedledee’s version of “Winter Wonderland” is as good as Tweedledum’s. It’s still all “What the f**k, douchebag?” “Eat a d**k, you closet case” - as if there’s no need for Trump or Hillary, Bush or Bernie: this is now the only form of discourse left, for everything.
But, secondly, as you can tell from the decapitations of those flesh-and-blood Scandinavians and the representational Christ Child, a strange bland soporific equanimity sets in when it comes to one particular subject.
It’s almost as if, as busy as we are de-evolving to a moronized state of paradoxically knuckle-dragging snowflakes, we dimly discern in ways that we cannot quite articulate - or at any rate not articulate with the usual WTFs - that this particular subject, veiled as it is in the discreet code of “lone wolves”, is somehow different. The Internet makes fecal-chocolate soldiers.”
Equanimity,
Yes, I’m looking It Up.
