    Stochastic terrorism bites Trump’s own hand again (but they are so tiny, it didn’t take much). It’s an uncontrollable force.

    That said, it’s a tragic story for the young man and his victims.

      Tragic for the victims at least.

      I draw the line before sympathy for premeditated murder. No apologies.

        I don’t think he murdered anyone, actually. Just ran them over, hospitalizing the 80 year old. In fact we don’t even know the other related incidents involved running anyone over, I guess, though that was my assumption. The article is light on the details.

        Anyway the kid didn’t have to kill himself.

          I read the article and, respectfully, I’ll disagree. Three incidents, a proffered confession and a suicide. Sometimes the circumstantial evidence adds up. Too bad for the victims, hey?

          Listen: I’m not a sentimental type, but where sick people are struggling I’m all for making ALL of the help available. Where sick people lash out outside of treatment, criminally, I say the system failed and actions have consequences. You can’t be subjective here, or you lose the thread in the decision tree.

          Gentle with the down votes, friends, I already know I’m the asshole here.

            Yours is a valid opinion and you’re not being an asshole here, even if I don’t agree with you. If I thought you were I’d downvote, but I don’t think so.

                You. Yes, you. Here’s an ancient gesture of protection against malicious supernatural forces. Whether or not you believe in it, keep rocking: 🤘

          Not yet, but the guy was 80 and in critical condition. Survival seems unlikely. But as the article seems to say this was intentional, it’ll be murder.
