Jo Cox (MP) RIP.

A friend of mine who works in HE and has had the Prevent training (designed to spot radicalised students) pointed out that there are are a number of pointers that Mair fits:

Ostracisation from regular society (self inflicted or not).
Feeling of disepowerment, or lack of representation (or that something you take seriously is ignored by 'the mainstream').
Drug/alcohol misuse.
Obsession with 'a cause' and material related to it.
Lack of stable family/romantic relationship.
Desire to 'be someone' and make a statement.

Obviously one size doesn't fit all and there are other factors but these tend to be the warning signs. Basically there's not a great deal of difference between this guy and the cnuts who killed Lee Rigby.
