Suicide explosions following domestic violence are becoming common elsewhere in Europe (perhaps because of easier access to firearms/explosives)
just west of where I live we have already had one driver deliberately put a car on a level crossing- took out an entire train
seems like the Western equivalent of suicide bombs, fuelled by individual hate and a private car being used as a weapon…
I’ve seen this a lot in crime today – people realise they are good as caught but have a nihilistic desire to fuck up as many other people on the way down
this person manages to disrupt several businesses and destroy a high value vehicle as well as themselves (I bet the MG wasn’t paid for so the finance company lose its value – but it was it could have been seized in a civil action and used to compensate the victims family)
it seems people realise that when they can’t win through crime they look for ways to make everyone else lose :rant:

One dead in high street car blast
One person has died in a car explosion in Thornbury High Street in South Gloucestershire.
Police said an MG Rover car which was travelling along the road on fire, ploughed into a shop window and burst into flames shortly before 0700 GMT.
Police said the vehicle involved was being sought in connection with murder of a Polish woman in nearby Patchway.
Officers have not yet been able to confirm whether the body is that of a man or a woman.
An eyewitness told the BBC: “Around about 7am, one of the customers said there had been explosion. A couple of the shop fronts have been damaged.”
Thornbury High Street, Castle Street and Rock Street are also closed to traffic.
