Week 3 Current Event - Jessica Ball

Current Event: Man Arrested in Sydney for “ISIS” Inspired Attack

Recently a 22 year old man was arrested for an ISIS inspired attack on a 59 year old man, who was enjoying a walk in a nature reserve. The 22 year old stabbed the older man multiple times, and police think it was a setup to enforce an even larger attack on authorities. The attacker also attempted to stab a police officer, but luckily he did not succeed. Unfortunately, the man that was attacked suffered from extreme injury, and is still in the hospital in critical condition. The attacker has sympathies towards ISIS so that is the reason why authorities concluded it was ISIS inspired.
I really don’t understand why someone would do this to a completely innocent person. Like what thoughts would drive someone to commit a crime such as this one? It honestly does not make any sense to me whatsoever, but I really do hope that the poor man survives and makes a full recovery.
