They acted like they wanted to be found. Burglarizing a 7-11 when everybody knows to be looking for you? Car-jacking and then letting the person go so they could call the cops?
I’m not sure why they would want to be found, but their actions make it seem like they did.
Somebody claiming to know the plan in advance had posted on Monday that the perps would be caught on Friday, it would be a young guy they’d try to garner sympathy for, and they’d find NRA materials with his stuff. Obama saying that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions about motives left room for them to still claim to have found NRA stuff, although I think the connections to Muslim terrorism may be too solid already for them to go through with that plan, if that was their plan.
But it does seem like they wanted to be found.
They didn’t burglarize a 7-11. That was just where they dumped the kidnapped SUV owner. Still, like the cop killing and the car jacking wouldn’t bring attention to them.
They di not rob the 7-11 but were in parking lot was a chance deal!
It’s possible they panicked because they were led to believe they would never be found.
