They don’t want to be taken alive; if some wingnut is convinced that President Obama is nothing less than the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler, or Mao, or Pol Pot or whatever, they have no intention of being incarcerated in a “re-education camp” or tortured by “Obama’s Gestapo”.

It’s like that old line…..”Save the last bullet for yourself.”

I guess some personalities can’t settle for partial measures.

Seems like a lack of dedication to the cause, unless one believes that one’s death will have more meaning to the cause than one’s life. So difficult to analyze the results, though, once you’re dead.
