During his interrogation, he told the FBI that he saved one bullet so he could use it on himself when he saw a cop when he walked out of the church. Then he was surprised when he saw no cops outside.
So he decided to go to Nashville TN, and he was arrested in Shelby, NC. The cops even gave him Burger King.
Once he got into custody, he decided that he didn’t want to die
Something disorganized can still be a threat. Being disorganized as in no central controlling authority creates more problems. If it were a single entity then tracking it would be much easier. But if all these cells are acting independently then it takes more resources. The vast majority are cosplay with the occasional rally; but it only takes one to shoot up a church.

Should have been fired for that.
A rationale for doing that was to build rapport to get him to talk. Maybe this was part of a bigger plan with more shooters. It's not like they took him to Smashburger.
Put a bullett in his head and save the taxpayer $.
Idaho, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Utah are the states that use Fire squad as a death penalty.
He did live in South Carolina and that’s where the crime scene happened, but he’s in the Terre Haute death row in Indiana and will likely be in that one forever
it doesn't really matter one way or the other because he's never getting out. i say just give him the life sentence and save all the public taxes that are wasted on these appeals.
This. I don't think the state should be in the business of taking human life, in any case; but it's vastly more expensive to execute someone than to house and feed him for the rest of his natural life.
A. That he thought he was going to trigger a race war.
B. That white nationalists are anywhere close to having the capability of waging such a war.
C. That freeing him would be a priority even if they did and succeeded.
Silly FBI pretends that white nationalist are some major threat. They are really a disorganized almost pathetic joke.
D. That the guards will even allow those “white nationalists” to enter the death row to rescue him
The scenario assumes that the white nationalists have seized state power. Sure, you might have some holdouts among the guards who support the old regime.
There is a white nationalist novel in print that includes a U.S. Marine general who refuses to acknowledge a cease fire with the "racist entity" arranged by his Commander in Chief who happens to be President Chelsea Clinton.
This guy hadn't been in contact with Roof since middle school. They reconnect on Facebook, start hanging out a month before the shooting, and one night while they are consuming vodka and marijuana, Roof starts talking crazy stuff.
Meeks took away the gun while Roof was asleep, then later returned it.
Imagine yourself in the situation. You are drunk and/or high, and someone you barely know well recently starts talking about shooting up a church. All your decisions are going to be impulsive, and there is no good reason to take Roof seriously.
Joey's mistake was not shutting his mouth. He told Dalton what he thought he knew, and Dalton told the cops.
That is somewhat understandable, because Joey was in shock.
He should have never have talked to the FBI. They are not your friends. Their sole mission is to do you harm, evidenced by the fact that they can lie to you but you cannot lie to them, even if you committed no crime but are put in a position to talk to them in order to salve your conscience over information that you wish you had never received.
Common methods of execution: Lethal injection and Electric chair
Electric chair is not very common now. A handful of states allow the inmate to choose the chair, and that accounts for recent executions by that method, but no state uses electrocution by default.
