I just don't think someone who would bomb an event and then kill a cop would let himself be taken alive. Either the cops kill him or he kills himself, but I doubt he leaves in cuffs.

I'm just hoping homeboy ain't taken hostages. The area he's gone to ground in looks like nothing but town houses and mall bullshit.
The first guy who died has an African name and one of the "we miss you, Sunil" videos had a shot of his sister offering him a Zanzibar (Tanzania) soccer jersey because apparently he really liked that team. Tanzania is ~40% Muslim, so his good friend could've converted him.earthfell_sl said:
So what's the motivation here? Young "terrorists" trying to impress the older guys on how they can be effective without killing themselves? I am just not understanding how we got to here and why. These don't fit the "profile".
I don't know. It never makes sense when you hear the reasons people give for people doing shit like this. I'm just trying to think of the most common way that it comes about.
A random killing spree just for the hell of it doesn't make sense based on the little bit of info that's out there on Sunil.

I thought "young muslim" was exactly the profile?
Someone even said it early on, odds would be it would be a 20-something muslim or a 40ish far righty, as that tends to be the profile for terror bombers for us.
Yeah I don't know. It should be suicide bombing if it was your run of the mill Muslim bombing right? These feels off script to me is all. Like it was an unsanctioned bombing where they tried to show off some skills and it didn't go real well? Almost like a job interview? I don't know, just thinking out loud.
I don't think the American ones are normally suicide, as often as they are overseas.
Damn, they called that Mulugeta's dudes name and DOB over the net earlier. Something/something/1981 if I recall. Reckon he's dude who blew himself.

As a general rule, one guy makes vests for lots of suicide bombers. The vest maker doesn't kill himself.a_skeleton_03_sl said:
Over here it's not as practical to have a central vest maker, so they make and detonate the bombs themselves. They can choose to kill themselves if they want to, but it's not required or anything.
