He was committing suicide, not using violence against civilians to further an ideological objective. 

In other words it was a suicidal guy making bad choices but apparently trying to not put anyone else’s lives at risk. But way to generalize!

Idiot.

First things first, this guy is an asshole.

One other bad thing, no third pedal and shifter.

A 250hp hot hatch maybe, not a 400hp one. At this point it just defeats the purpose.
