Aterrorist outrage followed by anger, sorrow, candles, marches and a presidential pledge to crush the evil in France’s midst. The sequence is as familiar as it is painful.
The beheading by a young jihadi of Samuel Paty, a teacher at Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, a leafy town on the outskirts of Paris, triggered the latest cycle.
