Now, the FBI says the attacker in New Orleans acted alone. His personal life was a mess and he was clearly deeply unhappy. This is an all too familiar profile. Too many unhappy men want to kill other people. I’d suggest the Isis flag (was it?) found on his truck had nothing to do with the attack. Just as the Christian who shot nine people in a black church in Charleston cannot have been motivated by Christian doctrine

Not sure about that. IS has been very effective at attracting individuals (mostly younger than this guy) who are depressed, hopeless and lost. And it's not only men: the Shamima Begum case in the UK illustrates how even young women can get sucked into the radical islamist maelstrom.
