I think the problem with this guy (and others who take similar actions) is that they embody their hatred... this ultimately contradicts what they believed in the first place, until they make amendments to their belief to justify such a "final act". Some might argue that's necessary ("greater good") but whether you believe that or not, they are definitely coming from a different direction than Al Queda et al. Think of it as an X... the are starting at two different spaces, and in the middle meet at the same kind of event. Later they end up just as far apart as they started but on opposite sides. Basically the ideology is different, they meet at the same action, but the end result is inevitably different. Now that doesn't mean that oh he's a hero he changed the world and fixed America by showing us we're all dumbasses– not at all. But you have to admit that generally people aren't reacting to it the same as a foreign terrorist attack. Hell, I think I saw about 15 minutes of coverage today, the rest was all Tiger Woods, and the same yesterday. Because of who he is he's automatically classified as either insane or revolutionary.
