Drac – you’ve removed what I thought was a reasonably respectful reply to the “When do we actually say enough is enough” comment.
I’ll try again and I’ll try to keep it respectful. If I fail please delete.
We don’t say enough because we can’t. You can stop a percentage of incidents through better security, but if by dong so you alienate people you increase the likelihood of an attempted incident. And if by doing so you lose the freedoms that make our society worth living in then you just lost. There is therefore a balance.
Beyond that balance it is societal pressures that you need to use. Make people feel part of society and that they are invested in it and they are both less likely to get involved in an incident and more likely to stop it. Call them the problem and they will be.
Think of everything from football hooligans in cages at matches to the peace process in Northern Ireland.
And in Manchester many folk of a Muslim persuation were going out of their way to be clear that they are part of British society and they were doing what they could to help. Far more than most of us typing away on t’interweb. So start from there and see what positive things can be done.
