The attack on defenseless Kenya university students by al-Shabaab thugs this week was so gratuitously gruesome as to permanently suspend belief in their alleged cause.
The senseless carnage leaves little doubt now that the perpetrators are simply godless psychopaths, cloaking themselves in the flimsy flag of some resistance movement just to disguise their love of violence.
As to what the group’s opposition was originally supposed to be about, that message -- if there ever was one -- is totally lost too, washed away as it were in a bloody deluge.
And, today, they have the gall to threaten even more violent acts; vowing once more to target law abiding citizens of Kenya, of course, whilst cowardly hiding from the armed squads of government men actively searching for them.
In just the past two years, these trigger-happy sickos alone have butchered over 400 innocent people, the vast majority of whom were women and children.
But, worldwide, the mass murder of such soft targets by similarly impotent degenerates who wish to be regarded as something more powerful and noble than they really are has become a disturbing new norm.
It is, sometimes, difficult to look away from so much mayhem and bloodshed.
Still, the media makes a grave mistake characterizing these mentally ill misfits as “soldiers” or “terrorists” or “militants” because it grants them the form of legitimacy they’re perversely pandering for, and which they haven’t earned.
