Now, now, there's no need to get defensive, not with me, anyway. My point was that none of the instances you mentioned got this sort of news coverage, and none of them involved killing the judge presiding over his own re-trial, in the courtroom, and taking out more people besides, including two cops. We had two state-troopers shot dead on the interstate here a few years ago, and it didn't take an unreasonably long time to find the two killers, few days at most, IIRC. My entire argument with you (in the classic usage of the word) is that our shooter today will turn up pretty darn soon. BTW, I'm sure you've also experienced what I have, watching low-lifes selling other low-lifes down the river on the witness stand, often being involved in the exact same crime, but cutting a deal to save his own sorry hide a few years' prison time. You've probably also experienced the suspect's girlfriends and cousins and "associates" making "anonymous" calls to the police to let them know where the suspect can be found.
yes, I have experienced all that. But I never said that no one would turn him in. What I said was that he would be able to find some (some) that will give him aid and comfort. If for no other reason than...he has a gun and he knows how to use it. Most...if given the chance would turn him in. But that doesn't change the fact that some will help him. There are always those type out there. That is what makes our jobs so much harder.
