"Crash the Car Through The Building And Set Things On Fire": So 2005

I thought the pattern of the Glasgow airport attack sounded familiar. Now I remember why:

For the 24-year-old Arizona State University student, the motives behind the attack were personal. [As opposed to what? They were obviously political. He's about to tell you that in the next paragraph.--See-dubya]

He told Chandler police he was angry at Home Depot, where he worked as a paint stocker, about not getting a proper raise. He was mad at the United States for proposing a 700-mile fence along the Mexican border.

He wanted to make America "more free."

So the Jordanian-turned-U.S. citizen devised a plan to make a grand statement by crashing into the store at Alma School Road and Chandler Boulevard and setting it on fire.

At first, he wanted to wear a Palestinian flag, but later decided to place it in the trunk of his car, along with a copy of the Quran and a necklace.

He then grabbed his cat and his uncle’s pit bull and brought them along for the ride with the intent of killing them in the fire.

After crashing through the doors at 6 a.m. that Sunday, he expertly navigated the aisles and headed straight for the paint department, slamming his car into the flammable goods.

He jumped to the roof of the car, looked around for a second and then hopped to the ground.

He used a lighter to ignite the blaze, and loud explosions followed as store employees ran for safety.

The poor doggy died.
