^This.
And the fact that people who usually join criminal organizations either don't have that much going for them, or they're having a really rough time of it and might've killed themselves anyway, like the gay guy who shot the bar and decided to randomly attribute it to Eyesore.
Which really just shows how big of a cliche this whole thing is. I'm really tired of seeing people commit suicide on the news. There's just no variety in it. I would've been scared by terrorism the first time, when the planes smacked the towers, but now it feels like it's a part of everyday crime, which is literally the opposite of the point of terrorism. It almost made me glad in a morbid way when I heard of the crazy army guy shooting at the cops, because it was something different, and that's really what terrorism should be. When you go on Wikipedia in a hundred years to look up terrorists, it should be as it was before all this nonsense, a colorful cast of different fringe lunatics over the course of decades trying to make a point because nobody listens to fringe lunatics. Something that'll make a mildly interesting wikipedia page in the future and give 14 y/os who think they're edgy and macabre something to read about when they want something equally edgy and macabre to read about.
But now it's just the same damn fringe lunatic killing themselves over and over again to make no point whatsoever, but rather to support a religious mafia that's convinced them they're going to kill everyone in their homeland who isn't them. So, not only is it too ridiculous to be scary, but it's just bland and pointless and being exploited for money by higher authorities than the ones that make it onto the news, just like everything else.
Century 21: Even our terrorism is boring and mainstream! Even our serial killers are un-creative gun users! When we die, it's much stupider than usual.
