The headline reads like something from Onion News.

It looks like this poor student killed himself when he realized where this country is headed. Why bother graduating, and trying to have the Anerican dream when this man will just steal it all away from you?

No, it's not. When that thing causes the incident, then logic will lead you to attribute that thing to be the cause of the incident.

In this case you're wrong because you don't know why he killed himself.
You can't make assumptions based on practically no evidence then call it logic.
Nothing in that article indicates why he killed himself.
I could posit an equally ludacris scenario based on what I just read: The kid who committed suicide had done so because Lady Gaga threatened to come to his house and devour his penis with ketchup if he didn't pay her 5 million dollars. There's absolutely no evidence to support your claim or mine.

I like how all the commentors are trashing the author of the article...
That is pretty shitty journalism.

Whether or not I am right, the statement:
> Attributing an incident to only one thing is a logical fallacy.
is wrong. Attributing an incident to only one thing is not fallacious. Perhaps in this case I am wrong about the motive for the suicide, but let's look at the next case:
> The boy kicked the ball. The ball flew because of the kick.
I attribute the ball flying to one thing: the kick. Is that fallacious? No.
Fallacies are fallacies, even if they come to the right conclucions. Non fallacioius arguments can exist alongside fallacious ones.
Come back when you know what a fallacy is.

Obama probably knows what a Nazi is.
Therefore he is one and wants to kill you and destroy America.

Software pirates help prevent global warning since they don't have to spend money on plastic CDs with CD keys printed on paper.
