I hate to say this and defend those people but that statistical observation is due to the fact that security, intelligence and law enforcement officers are doing their job in foiling most of the terrorist plots and averting disasters.*
However, if terrorists were given free rein, the casualties number on their side would much much higher just like what's occurring in Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria.
*: Not counting false-flags or stand-down operations.
- monocasa 11y agoIf that were true, we'd be seeing non bullshit terrorist convictions. I'm not a big fan of paying for snake oil.
- gotchange 11y agoTo what factor would you attribute this observation if you are not buying the law enforcement competence theory? From the top of my head, the Garland Texas terrorist attach was foiled due to the officers competence who shot down the two terrorist who were about to go on a rampage a la Charlie Hebdo at the center. That's just one example to support my argument
