A few days ago I typed up a post, but deleted it and left the thread.

Now I'm back and will say three things

The FBI did a great job. It's unfortunate, but this kid was hellbent on icing some niggas, and I think his own parents turned him in. The undercovers engaged in the opposite of entrapment. The story is that they went out of their way to try to encourage him to go against his desires to explode children, but when he pulled the fake trigger, there were no more options left.

Renton has a good point about focusing on restructuring society, it's usually one of my first points with things like this, but it's also a pipedream. Read about Omelas. I believe it is virtually impossible for humans to live in elaborate societies that don't perfectly, metaphorically embody The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas, in all its tragedy

My other thought is a sort of side idea about how much emphasis we put on anti-terrorism, and in turn are creating our own Orwellian, militarism, prison, totalitarian state. In a way, we get scratched in the face, and our response is to murder the perp's entire family while forcing everybody to wear padded gloves.
