I understand your admiration but I doubt you’d like to be the guy in the car that hits him dead.

He was willing to scar someone or several people for life who’d inadvertently participate in killing him.

Not yet, but people in need of a chopper SRT insertion usually don't foot the bill for their rescue ,either.
