Im pretty sure if it had been me the cops were looking for, the hospital would have been the place my dad would have told them to go look. My dad was racist too. He did6nt like young white boys doing heinous stuff. Stupid was not appreciated much either, unless I got hurt in such a way that it made him laugh or shake his head.
My dad was 6’ 4” and 250lbs and he would no doubt have put me in intensive care long before the cops got to me if I had ever done something like this. I absolutely would have feared him more than cops or prison. In fact, I would have ran to the police station to turn myself in!
