I’ll clarify.
He’ll never be able to show his face in urban Missouri. The citizens may not hate him but the gang bangers will be looking for him.
He and his family will be looking over their shoulders for years. Less so, elsewhere.
I believe Wilson is safer living where he has family and friends to help watch his back, not some unknown place where he may not be welcomed.
He managed to do this for months during the grand jury process and there’s no reason to think he can’t continue to do this now.
If the NWA don’t like it, they can pound sand or eat lead.
