Heavily-armed man kills himself, rather than shoot up Colorado amusement park, authorities say
A heavily armed man killed himself rather than carry out an apparent plan to shoot up a mountaintop amusement park in Colorado, authorities said Monday.

Sucks that he got to that point, but props for not going through with his plan.
This is almost uplifting. Like, it's terrible the man was suffering so much, but it's admirable that he chose the better of the two options he was giving himself. That probably makes me sound like a terrible person.
I don't think that sounds terrible at all. We can all agree, I think, that we'd rather this whole situation not happen at all, but of the two cases, one with one dead by their own hands, and another case with who knows how many dead at the same person's hands, there's absolutely nothing wrong with saying you're happy it was the former and not the latter.
Terrible would be saying he deserved it. Or putting someone in that position. Or a variety of other things, but it's not being relieved at a lower death toll.
"His" plan
Had he gone through with it, we would be hearing how he "was on the FBI's radar".
I didn't kill a bunch of people today, either, so props to me, too, I guess...
You probably weren't at the end of your mental and emotional rope, with what seemed like no other outs. Context matters.
You don't know me. McDonald's fucked up my nuggets order this morning so now I'm a man without anything to live for
Not the nuggies!! Any response to that is warranted
Car bomb McDonald's!

It's not that he's a good person, it's that he made the right decision at a critical moment. Still not a good decision, but a whole hell of a lot better than what he was prepared to do.
