I can't imagine any one in his state of mind who wouldn't come to that conclusion, that he's at the end of the line and he's a dead man anyway. No matter what the state of his derangement, he knows no matter how this ends, it won't end well for him.

His narcissistic manifesto shows he thinks way to highly of himself for suicide.
He WANTS to go down fighting.

I am leaning more towards the former after hearing his truck had a broken axle. I do still wonder if he had prepared a bolt hole and will emerge in a week or two.

the desert, a much better place to hide. I don't think so though because eventually he will have to come out.

I think he had another vehicle up there, moved all his gear to that, torched the truck and split.

Now I see it meant crazy.

I have to admit I'm glued to the news for updates wondering when this will end.

that he might be out of the area and the desert is a better place to hide by far. A breezy day can erase all tracks. And what if he did have help or has a long-term plan of action before giving it up? I suspect that since he had time to think and plan, and that he knows how the system works, he's going to be around for a spell, and some of his targets won't... as well as innocent people due to the frantic, mindless fear of the LAPD.

He's not even near to being finished and I think there will be much more to come.

I do suspect that he is far more highly skilled than the majority of those who pursue him either on the ground or in the corer office.
