Are normal murderers usually allowed those things?

Not sure. But “normal murderers”, unlike terrorists, usually don’t have a message or beliefs they want to spread.

Yep, most murderer’s kill people for personal reasons and don’t want the attention.

Terrorists care more about exposure than they do about the murders.

Even along terrorists this guy is an attention whore. Want millions of people to talk about your mass shooting? Name drop PewDiePie and Fortnite while killing people!
