A handy list of black mass murderers who were taken alive (for people who think being taken alive is a “white privilege”)

Mass murderers expect to die. When cornered, some kill themselves and some do their best to die by suicide by cop. But some surrender, and some are prevented from having the death they want.

Anti-racist internet memes insist that being taken alive is an example of “white privilege” for white murderers. A few minutes of googling shows that isn’t so. Some examples:

John Allen Muhammad, a member of the Nation of Islam, and his younger accomplice, Lee Malvo, were serial killers who targeted white people in the hope of starting a race war. They killed 17 people and wounded 10 others. More: Beltway sniper attacks.

Hastings Wise killed four co-workers. Like many spree killers, he then tried to kill himself, but he was found alive. More: Hastings Arthur Wise.

Nathan Dunlap killed four co-workers and wounded another. More: 1993 Aurora shooting.

Colin Ferguson killed six people and wounded 19 others. More: Long Island Rail Road massacre.

Kori Ali Muhammad killed three white men and wounded another as he targeted “white devils”. More: California gunman kills three ‘in race attack’ in Fresno.
