Suicide, Satire, Plagiarism, and a 12-year-old girl

Two weeks ago, a homeowner blew up his home rather than leave it. And two weeks before that a California a man shot and killed a sheriff and a locksmith that had come to lock him out of his home. He then barricaded himself inside the home and had a gunfight with police before the cops set the place on fire and the homeowner burned along with the home - these are not anomalies or isolated incidents.
