You don't have to look hard to see that he's expecting to die. It seemed to me that a full half of his manifesto was him saying things like this, because it’s his last chance.

If he wanted to commit suicide, he easily could have. My money is that he's already in Mexico. After all, it's a lot easier to go south across the border than north...

I have to say, before reading this, I figured him for just another violent killer. Now, his story feels to me more like a Greek tragedy.  I think labeling this as an aside purposely makes it sound like he was rambling — but if people could get past the short-attention-span, tl;dr mentality, I think they would beg to differ.  I am horrified and saddened that he was driven to kill but reading this — essentially a suicide note, explaining (in a clear, articulate way) his frustration with the warped dysfunction of the LAPD, saying final, fond farewells to friends, and then some random things that, his life being essentially over, he’d never get to say — about everything from politicans, to movies, to social commentary.

Man, it's a shame this guy went and performed atrocious acts of murder, because I find myself nodding my head at a lot of his little asides. “Off the record, I love your new bangs, Mrs. Obama.”

You never even showed 30 seconds of empathy for the children, teachers, and families of Sandy Hook. You deflected any type of blame/responsibility and directed it toward the influence of movies and the media. You are a failure of a human being. May all of your immediate and distant family die horrific deaths in front of you." I had the same problem with the Unabomber. What to do with someone who uses violence against others to call attention to things that deserve attention? Ignore them? “Wayne LaPierre, President of the NRA, you’re a vile and inhumane piece of shit. You never even showed 30 seconds of empathy for the children, teachers, and families of Sandy Hook.
