Beatification must surely follow.

Gave his life for someone else. Seems like a pretty decent chap and a laudable action. You have some kind of issue with what he did?

You'll have to excuse the bitter, old, impotent alcoholic.
Sniping at his betters is all he has left.

But that's like, everyone!

Reading the details of the story today I dunno but he seems to be ticking the box called hero who laid down his life for others.

Exactly, I'm not sure what these other zoomers are talking, As a Catholic I'm suggesting he will be given some special status in the Church as Saint Maximillian was given when he gave up his life under similar circumstance.

We're in the part before great conflict where martyrs are being made. While the others on this thread have been playing along with the "just another mentally ill guy with a knife" lie most of us have seen this unfolding for years.

Really? Who has been telling this "lie"? Or is it just a paranoid fantasy?

I for one have consistently said, once the facts became evident, that there is a dangerous strand of Islam that will probably cause us trouble for a few decades. Some of the perpetrators may have had mental issues, but that's irrelevant. It just makes them more vulnerable to their manipulators.

I think some people possibly understand "a lone wolf" attack, as saying it's just some random nutter, when in fact they're differentiating between a terrorist cell, and someone who is, effectively, acting on their own.

Only white men of Christian heritage can be lone wolves.

I don't believe Saint Maximillian was living in a state of grave sin as a Freemason.

This is a whole new ball-game for Western leaders and they've been badly blind-sided. I find the open-source, distributed ideological warfare explanation compelling myself but I'm keeping my mind open.
