Hopefully dude never gets caught (Which he probably won't as it's now been greater than 48 hours, and we all know what that means if you've seen The First 48)
But if he does, it's going to be awfully hard putting together a jury that hasn't heard of JURY NULLIFICATION
If they catch him they will kill him.
He should walk into a news organisation lobby and ask to be arrested there
And then they'll kill him while waiting for a trial.
But the world would know it was murder and not "resisting arrest"
Would that change anything in a country where Trump is re-elected?
The cynic in me says nothing matters and nothing ever changes, the ideologe says it gives people ideas, ideas that build up and can one day turn into action.
Well, let's hope the second part of you is right.
Exactly. There's no way they'll allow him to speak his mind or allow the people to rally in his support in a huge trial. They find him, he's dead. The "how" they'll figure it out. Happy cop trigger, killed while trying to escape, heart attack, attacked by a bear, hit by meteorite. They'll come up with something, mark my words.
First 48 is about finding a victim alive. Murderers are commonly identified and caught outside that window.
At this point, I don't even think they want to catch him anymore. He's already being talked about as a hero, throwing him in jail would make him a martyr. People would protest at the trial too, it would be a mess.
48 hours is only for regular cases with one or two cops assigned. High profile stuff like this gets considerably more attention and resources for a longer period of time
