My dear media, you simply cannot have it both ways. Kevin Harris cannot be both a suicide bomber and someone who was a credible threat and was attempting to lure police and paramedics to their deaths.
1.) He refused their aid. Which he was well within his legal right to do. If he was truly trying to lure them to their deaths, wouldn't it have made more sense if he accepted their aid and then detonated the bombs?
Oh but who expects reason from a crazy person...right?
2.) Except there are different levels of crazy. Mr. Harris appeared to fall into the overly paranoid kind of crazy. His own neighbors weren't afraid of him but actually felt sorry for him. One of them would have him over for dinner periodically.
3.) He was pretty upfront about not allowing people into his home. So if the bombs were to protect him (see reasoning with a crazy person line) then he would keep everyone out.
4.) This was not a sudden onset of crazy. He probably would have attempted something ahead of time if he was trying to eliminate the perceived threat. He simply wanted to educate people to what he saw.
And to the idiot who claims that he alerted the proper officials to the menace that was Mr. Harris riding on his bike distributing his pamphlet... just shut up. He didn't look like you and didn't act like you and dropped off a pamphlet of government conspiracies; that makes him odd, not menacing. If his own neighbors weren't freaked by him (and they were exposed to far more of his crazy) then perhaps you need to go back to mommy because the world is too scary for you.
