think of how many fucking troops this guy could've disposed of instead. guy could've made a real material difference in the world, but he decided to put his trust in the media.

This is a guy who was mentally unwell enough to intentionally die by setting himself on fire. It might be worth considering that he wasn't of sound enough mind to meticulously plan mass murder too.

sure, maybe he didn't have it in him to do murders. but also you dont really need to meticulously plan it if you're a troop. you're carrying around guns all the time and you know where the officers hang out. doesn't take a genius to figure it out

Your comment put it more politely than others here. It’s a shame too because he realized the truth, but didn’t seem like he consulted anyone else who could’ve warned him about the media hiding it. Which I guess makes sense because most people would likely call the cops on him to stop him. But I don’t know.
