    When people are pushed to the point they have nothing left to lose this kinda thing will happen. I’m sort of surprised this kinda of things doesn’t happen more often to people who make their fortunes off the suffering of others.

      I would speculate that if the economy gets worse, recession, job losses, etc., more people might be in a position where they have nothing left to lose.

      It’s been reported a lot that more people are reclusive and isolated, less relationships and people having kids. Sure people could just commit suicide, but some might want to go out with a bang.

      Seems like we have the potential for this recipe or perfect storm. All depends on how bad things get in the future though. Bread and circuses.
