What I don’t understand is why these crazy people that are bound and determined to commit suicide... don’t do it first and not take anyone with them.
It appears that it's an ego thing. It also happens even more rarely where commonfolk are armed.
You asked — “What I dont understand is why these crazy people that are bound and determined to commit suicide... dont do it first and not take anyone with them.”
Well, it’s because they have to “make a point” and “show people”. A lot of times they think of themselves as so insignificant (obviously so) that they don’t think that their own death will make any difference. Thus, they will attempt to take others’ lives, too...
