Sounds like it’s time for an armed posse to go on a very large weekend hike.

[[ “I think that the big thing that gets him caught or dead in the field is a foodborne illness... ]]

There is a recall on hamburger- maybe he will get ecoli.

[Jan_Sobieski]

The hounds could find him pretty quick

[logi_cal869]

Ironic: I just watched the show about his crimes Tuesday night.

[AppyPappy]

The problem would be that every hiker would be a wanted fugitive.

Answers to “Rambo”!

From what I learned of the SOB the other night, sell tags.

I saw this guy yesterday at a truck stop in Ohio.

Right in the old backyard - literally spotted on the highway a few miles away.

Knowing the local population - this guy better have someone helping him before he tries to get an ‘equipment resupply’ from anyone. He’ll more likely get a ‘heavy metal infusion’ here in Strappedville.

They’ll likely find him holed up with some family member or pen-pal trollop.

[Leaning Right]

But he better keep movin’ and don’t stand still. If the ‘skeeters don’t get him then the ‘gaters will. Runnin’ like a dog through the Everglades.

(A line from an old folk song, refers to a criminal on the run.)

Geez, and I thought I looked bad for my age (roughly the same as his).

[Nicknamed the “Devil in the Ozarks,” Hardin was serving decades in prison for murder and rape.]

Hope they find him real quick-like

“...who fled from a medium-security prison...”

A convicted rapist and murderer is placed in a medidum-security prison? What did they expect?

[Fireone]

6 feet, 259? I’d say he’s on the walk, not on the run.
Probably sitting on a stump, eating Twinkies, watching Netflix on his phone.

Some years ago I was in desperate need of a hip replacement and thanks to the pain I was chair-bound for a year. During that year I got up to about 250 ponds...at 6 feet tall. Even after the hip replacement...which allowed me to walk normally...I was basically immobile until I could gradually...very gradually....lose about 60 pounds.

If this pig is ever cornered I'm sure he knows that running won't be an option for him.

[yldstrk]

He is in Mexico by now

[vetvetdoug]

He’s likely being subsidized by the Clintons as he has the prerequisites for their employment.
