It's a good piece.

"The stuff that people tend to say in the aftermath of an atrocity — that London, Manchester, Madrid, Paris, Brussels or New York will never be the same again — is well meant. But it’s not true."
"It’s much, much harder to terrorise a population into submission than official and unofficial purveyors of mass violence always think it is. Normality isn’t a fixed state but a spectrum with a remarkably wide range."

That certainly makes you think.
In all of this everyone feels so sorry for the people killed and injured and the aftermath of one of these attacks.
I also feel for the policemen who shot the attackers. I know this is what they are trained for but it cannot be easy sleeping at night knowing you have ended someone's life, in cold blood, albeit a person who deserved to die. I assume they have some sort of counselling. |  | | |
