My advice for court is tell the truth, but don't volunteer information you haven't been asked for.
Also, be abject. You are very sorry. You've got a good job. You've never done anything like this before. Mainly, an apology goes a long way.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am assiduously not looking. I do not need photographic evidence to feel compassion.
I have Issues with splattered blood. It reminds me of my FIL's suicide and cleaning up afterward. It has been 10 years and I know my triggers. Why I looked, I don't know.

Soooo I may have just told all my Twitter followers about the Good Stuff Happens Today tumblr. It seemed like a good thing to point people at.
Definitely a good day to look at cute cat pictures.
group hug all the way around. g'night all.
Ice cream with real whipped cream and walnuts. Nom. Hot shower. AH.
The thing about bombing is, it's most often long-run-term unproductive for the bombers, whether we're talking war or terrorism. It tends to get the bomb-ees backs up, and they hate the bombers even more and band together more effectively (i.e. the London Blitz). War-wise you may be able to take out some infrastructure but terrorizing the populace into surrender by and large doesn't work.
(The only time I'll concede that it did work was Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but those are and were Special Circumstances.)
Terror bombing may get you headlines, but by and large it makes your cause more unsympathetic. If you want your opposition to get more hard-line so that they clamp down on your people even more, it works.
What terrorist acts get you good headlines?
