David Fisher: There’s a High Chance of a Domestic Terror Attack before 2022 Ends

A domestic terror attack is likely before the end of 2022. If it comes, it will be connected to the protest movement that has grown around Covid-19 issues.

The terrorist, if it happens, will be someone filled with rage. They will be acting alone and have gone from angry to almost incoherent by the time they act, if they act.

Right now, they won’t see themselves as a potential terrorist. They will see themselves as being put upon by the conflict in society, the pandemic, the heightened presence of government in our lives.

What’s more, they will be fuelled by conspiracy theories and false news […] it will be someone connected with the issues people are protesting about. They will be the person who hung around the edges of the group, not those actively and socially involved.

[…] New Zealand has not been so divided since the Springbok Tour protests.

[…] We are not a narking nation but some of us will know people who are starting to really concern us. Make the call.
