    The trend of murder-suicides has gone up quite a bit, too. There’s something especially monstrous about someone murdering strangers, exes, or their own family before killing themselves, the entire “you’re coming with meeeeeeeeeeeeee” aspect of it. frothingfash

        Its like the final treat of a chuds life

        I wouldn’t blame someone for finding this to be a dumb comparison, but I think it’s surprisingly appropriate. It’s an opportunistic attempt at satisfaction motivated by the prospect of being freed of all personal responsibility (and perhaps the lack of internalizing that you can’t be smugly satisfied if you’re dead), just stimulating some nerves for the sake of it, others be damned.
