The Big Picture

Will No One Rid Me of This Turbulent Judge?

I don’t know when, and I don’t know who—but a federal judge is going to be murdered soon.

What I do know is why it will happen.

It will happen because one of America’s millions of Lost Boys—soaked in a constant, ambient diet of rage and misdirected fury at a world he’s been told hates him—will eventually decide he’s ready for the praise of the -chan mob.

On some new iteration of Terrorgram, some new Dallas Humber will convince him that all that loneliness and rage can only be channeled by taking out the “enemies of the white race.”

From Al Qaeda to white nationalist terror cells, this is a tragically familiar process. Bad actors know how to make young men into killers.

And it’s coming.
