    Sucks that he got to that point, but props for not going through with his plan.

      This is almost uplifting. Like, it’s terrible the man was suffering so much, but it’s admirable that he chose the better of the two options he was giving himself. That probably makes me sound like a terrible person.

        I don’t think that sounds terrible at all. We can all agree, I think, that we’d rather this whole situation not happen at all, but of the two cases, one with one dead by their own hands, and another case with who knows how many dead at the same person’s hands, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with saying you’re happy it was the former and not the latter.

        Terrible would be saying he deserved it. Or putting someone in that position. Or a variety of other things, but it’s not being relieved at a lower death toll.

      “His” plan

      Had he gone through with it, we would be hearing how he “was on the FBI’s radar”.

      I didn’t kill a bunch of people today, either, so props to me, too, I guess…
