Between this and the Moscow theater hostage crisis...and I guess the Bataclan attacks in France...people seem to target theaters in other countries.
But the US seems much more concerned about sporting events being targeted in the US. I don't hear about security restrictions on theaters.
I guess a sporting event can have a lot more people, and if televised might be higher visibility. But I'd think that any vulnerability would persist across national boundaries.
Terrorists are always going to attack whatever has the most convenient combination of lax security and number of people for them. They don't go for cultural venues because they loath theater, they go for them because there's less things that go wrong for them.
The best governments can do is to have more security in places with more people - like sports events.
Well, they could actually govern for the people and leave no sane person any reason to do bad things...
... but then since when has government been in the business of improving the commoner's life?
Yeah, the average terrorist is extremely rational, and would never do attacks if their needs were met. Simple needs like killing everyone who does not worship their god exactly the same way they do.
Consume less tiktok. Can't you see that it rots your brain?
Ah yes, I see a moron who does not know how crimes of despair work.
Yep, you're too far gone. I'm sorry for you.
Honestly you're both twats.
