    Wow, do much foolishness in one place here:

    • Committing an act of terrorism…
    • …against people unrelated to the ones you have a grievance with
    • …who actually support your position
    • …by crashing your car into a building
    • …and then admitting it was on purpose

    The school gets an honorable mention, too, for giving itself such a misleading name that also makes it a target for hate crimes.

    I very much doubt the woman is that much of an idiot, but she clearly got swept away by her emotions to a dangerous degree.
