I think we're all in agreement about the barbarity of the terrible events yesterday, and indeed the recent previous events, but whilst it is a fair comparison that the roads are more dangerous, in fact terrorism is just that, it terrorises us all. We feel horrified at what has happened, and at the same time afraid at what might happen next, and if it might even affect us, even though we know it's highly unlikely. My 88 year old mother was worrying yesterday because 'all my family are going to France this summer'. I will point out that it is highly unlikely that any of us will be caught up in any terrorist activity but I can't give her a guarantee that we won't, and that's what the terrorists want, they want to us to be terrified. I know she won't stop worrying until we are all safely home, and yet it could just as easily happen here.
I agree with past posters who have said those people who are known to be radical should be locked away or deported. If it costs a lot of money, so be it, and if human rights are quoted, I'm afraid we have to put the human rights of the rest of the population first. However I think none of that will actually happen and we'll just have to watch the leaders of various countries wringing their hands and saying we must remain strong and not let them beat us. In my opinion, when atrocities such as yesterday and Nice happen, we've already been beaten.
