For me it was only 2 out of at least 3, if I count “hear about” as being more than a casual mention (I wanted the title to be shorter but I actually mean looking up as in reading an article about, to find who / what / why / etc.), and if I ignore the cache of explosives found in Virginia.
For context, the three that I mean were: the driver in New Orleans, the truck explosion in Las Vegas, and the shooting in New York. (Edit: people are saying that the last one is not strictly speaking related to terrorism, at least that we know of. A better title for this post would have been “violent” rather than “terrorist” events.)
Damn, we sure live in “interesting” times! 🙄
There seems to be a lot of unrest going on globally. And these weapons are so extremely capable. I don’t even want to walk around with the equivalent of root access in my pocket, and I routinely remove user-write access to my files that I desire to preserve as a backup. So why carry guns somewhere that you know that you plan to get smashed-out drunk at? That just seems highly irresponsible to me.
Though the 3 that I mentioned (or possibly just 2 of them?) seemed more intentional, where someone had to prepare the incendiary explosive devices in advance prior to deployment. And if anything, that just might be worse. But yeah, they are fucked up either way.
