    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

        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.

        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.

          Why did he assume he could get away with about seventy people, like maybe over a VERY drawn out period but that’s a list comparable to some of the most accomplished serial killers operating for decades. At most you could maybe get away with five or so and that’s moving from one target to another killing at night with no stopping.

          Thank the gods these motherfuckers have the reasoning abilities of a ham sandwich.

      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.
