How Come When We Have A Shooting Like In Las Vegas The Shooter(s) Wind Up Killing Themselves?.....

They have the guts to talk the talk and then carry out the shooting - but they don't have the guts to face the music when they know they'll be caught.

Given the videos I've seen on this LV shooter - he talked a big talk. He participated in the Bundy standoff with the BLM. He was even interviewed on camera by NBC. So if he was such a spokesperson for the 'revolution' - why take the chicken way out?

Bottom line these guys are spineless cowards that only feel secure when they think they have an upper hand in a situation and a gun in their hands.

Brave revolutionaries, they are not. Paul Revere did not shit himself on his horse during his ride. Davy Crockett didn't off himself at the Alamo.

the tragedy was taking others down with them.

The dude's rantings also glorified "death by cop" as a way to go out fighting the system. He was a rebel in his own mind.

They wouldn't feel the need to arm themselves to the teeth and carry guns wherever they go. They wouldn't be terrified of a black president. Or chemtrails. Or the United Nations. Or common core education standards. Or gay marriage. Or this, or that, ad infinitum.

People like this live their whole lives in terror.

no doubt about it... I thought the same, why didn't they both shoot each other and get it over with, without killing innocents.

it's all a very violent method of suicide, with the aim of taking out many others with them.

typically the shooters have no intention of surviving, just surviving long enough to take more people out.

Sad that for them it is more appealing than the idea of LIVING for something.

It's not unlike terrorists that strap a bomb to their chest and go to a populated area. They already know they are going to die and have made that decision. And the goal now is to take down as many people with them as possible.

A lot of them probably figure they are going to get the death penalty anyway, so better to go out on their terms instead of the government's terms.
