There's a big difference between Radicalized (published 5 years ago) and real life, of course. In the story, older men monologue into YouTube videos before suicide bombing the C suites of health insurance buildings. The actual assassin seems to be young, remains anonymous and clearly had no plans to die. There also seems to be a surprising amount of public support for the assassin.

Here's 3 examples.

I've been thinking about it for a few days now, and I gotta tell you, I have complicated feelings.'
@pluralistic writes an awesome response to the assassination and its fallout.
