I kinda expected a dude who dressed as a cop to murder multiple people to have a better plan than “run and hide in the woods.” I was totally expecting a long, drawn out manhunt. Glad it’s over and people can sleep peacefully though
Minnesota has a lot of woods to run off and hide in.
How much of that is within walking distance of the vehicle he abandoned though?
Grew up a stones throw away. Bluntly, not much. It's a fairly dense suburban area. The closest densely wooded area is just the two county parks, one about 3 miles East and the other about 2.5 miles south. Neither is very big though. For a larger area there's a nature preserve about 15 miles west, but that's still pretty limited.
True wilderness is about 60 miles north.
Now Sibley county, where he was found, is quite rural but not wild at all, similar distance to wilderness.
How much time?
It’s been a few hours but idk how far he was found from there. I imagine we’ll have more detail tomorrow, so speculating seems silly.
it was meant more tongue in cheek
There's supposed to be a press conference this evening in a few minutes.
He might have but was interrupted in the middle of the second murder.
He wasn't going to stop with two. Had a list of ~70 people he wanted dead for either being Democrats or providing medical care to women. Thr guy's plan didn't involve getting away; just a lot more dead people.
It's almost like he isn't very good at thinking things through.
People who do wild shit like this generally don't have a plan for afterwards.
Every last one of these insane fucks thinks themselves some kind of chosen, picked-by-god leader of the apocalypse main-character in the stupidest fairy-tale they never grew out of. They aren't just narcissistic, that implies some level of brain-power. This is a whole other level of self-absorption that turns off conscious thought.
I'm not even being hyperbolic, fundamentalist Christian doctrine is meant to strip of you thinking, of rationalization. You can be a very smart person and not have conscious thought about critical aspects of life or the world around you. Thinking isn't the same as being able to drive cars, go to work, plan murders, etc. You can do all that stuff without having a mental dialogue or monolog that lets you reason out ideas in your head. You only get that inner-dialogue if you've grown up in an environment that allows for it, by training you to question and figure things out on your own.
Religion doesn't let you figure things out on your own. You exist as this shape moving through life just waiting to die so Jesus can wrap you up in his arms and rock you to sleep like a lil' baby or something. It's a death cult. There is no value towards life of anyone. I was raised in that environment but never quite got the same incentive for heaven because it never made sense and seemed like eternal bliss would be a boring nightmare you could never wake up from.
