Fucking bizarre

    But then there’s the PA. Just seems too courteous and high-quality, like an unrealistic movie. Can only think of a three-letter answer for that part.

    I think a nerd/technician could do that easily. Justify it that way to themselves and look more noble - "I'm not a murderer, I'm a terrorist", just sending a message.

    If it turns out to be someone connected to AT&T - an unhappy former worker, say, then the location makes sense, too.

    Not that the military-security apparatus element are above this sort of thing. But I think someone who's had it all with this shitty system - perhaps without any political explanations, even, may still have done this. Just a Fuck You to the world on the way out - but not a murder, which leaves you hated by everyone.

      I see what you're saying. A layman with some technical knowledge could rig up a PA like that, it's just unusual. Someone without political convictions who wanted a spectacle would go with the weirdness of it.

        Haha I know people with technical knowledge and strong, but very bland political convictions. You can be angry, but still only want to say, "Oh, if only we had a Canadian system of government...!" You're right that it's weird - but it also takes someone weird to do a terrorism in the first place.
