Right-wing's view on terrorism

I wonder how that works. In many of these cases (e.g. Gilroy), the shooter kills himself when the cops show up, so that explains why they didn’t take him alive. Otherwise it could be a purely tactical consideration - when the cops show up, he might be in the midst of shooting, they might not have cover, and so they might be forced to shoot him and his white privilege gains him no protection.

Likely this is what happened.

Meanwhile the el Paso guy surrendered immediately, and I suspect he believes he’ll get pardoned and invited to the white house.
