Give them a job: how Denmark deals with returned Islamist fighters.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')ut in Denmark, a country that has spawned more foreign fighters per capita than almost anywhere else, the port city of Aarhus is taking a novel approach by rolling out a welcome mat.

In Denmark, not one returned fighter has been locked up. Instead, taking the view that discrimination at home is as criminal as Islamic State recruiting, officials here are providing free psychological counselling while finding returnees jobs and spots in schools and universities.

Did anyone hear about the fire last month at O'hare that disrupted global air traffic. It was set by a contract employee who was trying to kill himself:

Yves Smith at Naked Capitalism has an interesting take on the incident:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '.')..Given how American have been acculturated not to engage in collective action (and even in those rare occasions when they do, paramilitary policing stomps on it quite effectively), frustrated and desperate individuals who lack an outlet will lash out more and more. One route is shootings, the “going postal” phenomenon that was studied early by Mark Ames. But I expect you’ll see a lot more attacks on infrastructure. Some may just attack the workplace, but it’s not hard to see an individual who sees himself as a victim of larger forces to think of and execute an attack on a fragile node that can bring down a much bigger system.

“I saw the lady laying right in front and her head was across the street, close to the corner. I thought ‘holy sh–!'”

...

Some of the neighbors thought the headless body in the street was a Halloween prank, only to lift the lifeless body and discover it was real, witnesses said.

The man was struck and killed by a LIRR train about 25 minutes later. His body was found about a mile from the Farmingdale apartment, cops said.

7,000,000,000 or thereabouts people on the planet, there's bound to be a few crazies amongst us who will do things totally unexpected.

The problem these days is that those of us who read news are aware of them like never before in human history.

The world (as in individuals) is not getting madder, but due to a greater number of people and news of madness is spreading like never before, it looks a lot worse than our predecessors could ever imagine.
