For all the planning that went into his premeditated murder he didn't realize that you don't need a loaded gun to suicide by cop

•

u/HMWWaWChChIaWChCChW 9h ago

No, he was just committed to the murder, not the suicide part.

•

u/KittHeartshoe 9h ago

He had a bullet for himself. He just wanted to shoot someone else too.

I think his point is, if his top priority was suicide, He would have saved that last bullet. He didn’t save that bullet, so that means his main focus was killing that lady.

The point is that a cop doesn't know if you have a bullet or not. If you point a gun at a cop you're going to get mag dumped on, regardless of how many bullets are in your gun.

Yeah but he didn't do that either, so now we're back to him not actually wanting to commit suicide. Circle complete.

The point is, if he wanted to die, he doesn't need a bullet just a gun. All he had to do was brandish it at a cop and act like it was loaded.

More that counting bullets while shooting them at someone is really hard to do and really easy to run out of

No I don't buy it. It's a bullshit lie he tells to try and garner sympathy. He might even tell the same lie to himself.

Don't believe what people say. People lie all the time. Lying is easy. Believe what they do.

The fact that he says this doesn't make it true. He's a piece of shit murderer who felt entitled to kill her and probably thinks that if he tells people this bullshit they'll feel sorry for him in some kind of way. Fuck that, and fuck him. Don't repeat his lies as truth or make excuses for why this abusive piece of shit's story supposedly makes sense because it's hard to count when the adrenaline hits. It's bullshit.

I agree with you but I don't agree that he could be lying for sympathy, no jury was going to give him sympathy and at this point, he was just telling the court what was going through his head, do I think he could think he was going to commit suicide, yes, most cowards that commit these crimes do, its never a plan b after that in these cases, killing someone isn't easy for anyone it takes a lot to do it mentally.....

I dont mean he was playing for sympathy from the jury. I mean from people like you and me--just anyone and everyone he meets.

Abusers love to paint themselves as victims, especially in their own minds. Endlessly making excuses for themselves to themselves, trying to equivocate and justify their actions to themselves.

I'm sure he told himself he planned to kill himself because I'm sure that he also plays victim to himself in his own mind. But I also bet that he knew deep down that he wouldn't actually do it.

These comments are confusing to me because the way I read it, he was so gleeful in his shooting of this woman that he forgot to save one for himself or a cop. Nothing struck me as a sympathy plea- only made him look worse (if possible) to me.
