Two days ago was the tenth anniversary of the Bataclan Massacre
See this – a reminder of that terrible day. If you read the tweets there, you’ll see what we already know – that jihadis are not just killers, they are barbaric sadists who delight in torturing their victims, the better to terrorize.
It is a major failing of the west that so many people have become apologists for and appeasers of such groups.
Currently in France, they’ve got their work cut out for them:
French authorities say the terror threat has evolved significantly since 2015, with anti-terror police and prosecutors now increasingly focusing on young homegrown extremists, including children, who are radicalizing online, often in isolation.
Authorities say they have foiled six alleged Islamic extremist attack plots so far in 2025, involving suspects aged 17 to 22. Three suspected Islamic extremist attacks this year killed two people and injured several others.

This story popped up today and seems strangely fit:

Oh and by the way, Khalid Sheik Muhammad yet lives and breathes. Go figure.
Somebody make the case that it can’t happen here….
Hello…?
Meantime, we are supposed to act as if there isn’t a chance in hell that it could happen here. Even if it does.
I hadn’t fully realized, until i clicked on a link though Instapundit, that the atrocities committed inside the theater were similar to those on Oct. 7, 2023, the only difference being that in the latter case the monsters live-streamed it.
The judiciary is an enemy of justice. Publish the names of these judges, publish their home addresses, publish the license plates on their cars. Flood the country with their pictures.
The ceremony in France was all over European CNN, BBC, and French channels.
Kind of a barn door thing. Too little, much too late.

But of course!

“Jihadis are not just killers, they are barbaric sadists who delight in torturing their victims, the better to terrorize.”
The gratuitous torture – and it is hard to find any descriptions of this – is especially horrifying. Someone threatening to shoot me dead doesn’t especially upset me. But torture? mutilate? castrate??? That’s a whole different matter.
Getting back to their motivation what did they hope to accomplish? They claimed the attacks were retaliation for French airstrikes on Islamic State targets. That’s clear enough. Did they hope French authorities would say “zut alors, we better not do that again”? But look at how the West responded after 9/11. Not surrender or retreat but fierce resolve to track down and neutralize those who did this. (Recognizing the problems with what we did in Iraq.) A key principle by which I strive to live is to *understand* even when I completely disagree. I want to understand what motivated not only these attacks but their barbarity.

Is it possible that some guys just like to do this stuff? Think this was their first rodeo? Maybe they had classes with demonstrations on live lab subjects…?
You have to be particularly evil to feel a knife pulling apart human flesh while the victim is shrieking in your face.
