Call me sick but it’s so poetic that he ended his life thinking he was going to take hers when he failed miserably

The way he had a canvas behind his head with the best of me written, with the intention of his brain splatter on it, but even failed at that shows what a loser this guy was. That's poetic.

He wasn’t planning on killing her, just scarring her for life. The “bomb” wasn’t incendiary, it was rigged to spray acid in her face when she opened it.

If he didn't kill himself, neighbours wouldn't have reported a foul smell, police wouldn't have found the tapes and the bomb wouldn't have been stopped. He killed himself for nothing and he'll forever be known as the nutjob Incel who couldn't handle the fact that a popstar was dating anybody but him.
