It does seem rather odd that there are so many agencies involved in this manhunt... murders happen quite often, especially in urban settings, so why the enormous effort for this guy? :thinking:
Doesn't it seem just a bit odd? Granted, he did fire on police officers, but still... seems like overkill, pardon the pun.
I know it seems odd, but I believe it has to do with the terrain and the ticking clock. The longer he goes without being found, the less likely they will find him. In an urban setting, this is certainly a challenge, as attested to by all the cold cases out there... but it isn't quite like the challenge of preventing a cold case in a situation like this. It is much easier for him to hole up and hide for an extended period of time, waiting out the authorities, until they start going home. Then he can slip out of the containment area and vanish. In the city, there are too many people to see things. Much harder to just slip through the fingers of the police, though it obviously does happen.MamaSheepdog":3f9uccha said:It does seem rather odd that there are so many agencies involved in this manhunt... murders happen quite often, especially in urban settings, so why the enormous effort for this guy? :thinking:
Interesting take... I get what you're saying. Kind-of like the obnoxious people at the entry to our road. It sure would be nice if they'd go be obnoxious somewhere else, but at least if ...say... a more threatening brand of stupidity were to try to come in here, they'd have to get past the obnoxious people first. :?MamaSheepdog":3f9uccha said:In a way, the fact that he has been able to elude capture is oddly comforting. If our government does turn against us, at least there is some hope of disappearing into the hills.
That's somewhat comforting. I guess if he had been in your area, they'd have urged you to go inside and lock your doors and stay there.MamaSheepdog":3f9uccha said:The officers said that the reason for the concentrated effort is that he is escalating- first kidnapping, then murder, capped by firing on the police.
They do not suspect that he is in our area, and have a strong perimeter set up in a wide swathe around their last engagement with him.
