This is an analysis blog not a news blog. That’s why I’m not writing about the atrocity at a music concert in Manchester, England other than to take note of it, offer condolences to the survivors, their families, and those of the slain, and to sit in silence until there’s something to analyze.
Nowadays, it’s de rigeur to offer “thoughts and prayers” for the dead and their families.
The only thing to analyze at the moment is, and perhaps its really just an observation, the seemingly inevitable “the suspect, who was known to authorities” absence of any preemptive action.
