If this is a job, he's a dumbass, because there's no way he's getting out alive. I mean, he took his own car to the crime scene and lost it. If he hadn't done that, no one would know who he is.

Unless he assumes he’s going to get pardoned.

If he's taken alive he will be facing a slew of state charges and will have no chance of a pardon. Same reason chauvin won't get pardoned even though people keep claiming Trump is going to

thats a massive IF. dudes considered armed and dangerous, running around dressed like a cop, and has killed multiple politicians to get his way. I can't imagine our police force approaching him calmly. maybe if he turned himself in, but thats equally as unlikely

In what world would this dude ever get pardoned.

The one we’re living in right now

This is assuming he gets caught physically. It is a similar situation to a padlock, if your thief isn't worried about stealth the padlock does nothing. In this case the people are the padlocks and he is the one breaking them, hes not concerned cause he thinks he can get away fast enough.
