These killers appear to have no respect for the life of others but often show cowardice when they are faced with their own demise.
Some killers are afraid of death and some are not, it depends on how they plan to seek or find infamy- and place their names in history as they make their mark.
Some want to be infamous in death, or seek relief from life- by cop or suicide.
Others want to be infamous in life, or maybe they fear death or hell.
BK strikes me as a fanboy of killers, studied them, learned from them, and sought to become one of them. He wants to watch the story play out that he has created- and poke and prod at it so he can fill his sick need for attention.
He comes across as not having the intestinal fortitude to handle much discomfort- and at the same time huge amounts to handle killing others- something most of us could not.
As sick as it is- we have soldiers who come back from combat with PTSD. Does a killer have some kind of symptoms similar to PTSD? Do they suffer trauma? If so, what does that look like?
I don’t see his unwillingness to face the death penalty as a sign of cowardice.
I see it as a sign he wants to be around to face the fall out- he wants to watch and participate- something he cannot do in death.
If he began to plan this one, two, or three years ago, work up the nerve to actually do it, and has been under a gag order pending trial- his entertainment is just about to begin.
When the gag order is lifted- I predict BK will be living out the last final step in his crime. He will be recognized as a killer. Maybe saying ‘Guilty’ is irrelevant in his view. He still was able to commit the murder of four people in hand to hand combat with a knife. And as far as we know- he suffered no injuries. I think his worst nightmare would be to be in solitary confinement- without access to the public, unable to watch what people thought about him. Unable to be worshipped- like he worshipped and studied other killers.
IMO
