When police are the ones who discover the suicide victim... well.
I'm just happy we didn't have to see the theater that would've become if he were to be captured alive. He may have just felt like CNN was (horror of horrors) turning him into a white guy.
It's really surprising though, that e-forensics has become a really speedy process. A truly disturbing amount of tracking (and backtracking) can be done with LE and informational requests, fast court-orders and such. Not to mention the also very fast and elegant way NSA/FBI can find an excuse to exercise their informational back doors they've worked into the systems in play (for counter-terrorism, of course).

According to the news conference, police received several calls that he was at or near a McDonald's and police chased him "briefly" and he then shot himself in front of the police.
So we know he was alive and driving for at least a little while. I am surprised the fucking coward didn't go suicide by cop to be honest.

Mayhaps he did? Haha...
Perhaps we'll never know.
Consider it: Armed and dangerous. Solid and direct video evidence (seen by almost everyone who'd be interested). Pursuit and surprise confrontation only blue witnesses. Possibly not body-cammed responders who are all on the same sheet of music. All they have left is to minimize court exposure through the explanation that he 'offed himself. I'm not saying it's "probably" how that happened. But what I am saying is that it's the more messy, gritty narrative that I sometimes like to play out in my imagination ;)

Put yourself in the shoes of the killer. You've already killed, you say you're going to kill more. You know it's either jail or death as the only outcome. Would you quietly kill yourself in your car or would you go down all guns blazing taking as many with you as you can, you know, for the numbers? Something is off with this whole thing.

Yeah I agree. Doesn't fit his words and actions.

dont believe everything you get from the fucking news. THis is a psyop. In addition, I just listened to a live interview with a bystander who was on site and HEARD NO GUNSHOT. NONE. Immediately they cut away. This is the biggest mind fuck...This story is not what it appears to be. It has an agenda.
There was a the don thread about what the guy was talking about in his video. It had a lot to do with various child adoption/shelter agencies and sounded sketch as fuck. I dont know how true any of it was, but those threads were getting removed pretty quick so theres probably something to it.

How long until the story is buried? 1? 2 days?

Was the cell phone ping the result of the pol trolling?

First thing that crossed my mind when I heard this news was that pol had talked him into killing himself, ha.

what happened now?

Apparently /pol/ got his cell phone number and kept texting him, and when he responded the police were able to better track him.
