The respect for federal investigators he expresses in the manifesto (even if for all we know it could be a front), indicates to me he wasn't really afraid of getting caught.

I guess he wasn't interested in turning himself in nor fleeing particularly hard afterward.

I kinda empathize with that. Not gonna do the cops' jobs for them, living on the run is hard and stressful, fuck it

I'm conflicted over whether I'm glad or disappointed at his respect for the feds.

On the one hand, I'm disappointed, because like many many others, I identify with his frustration with fat cat CEOs imposing systems of structural violence against us. I wish that had extended to lack of respect for the state, which also imposes and upholds the same systems, and others.

On the other hand, I'm glad because I still think what he allegedly did is wrong and don't necessarily want further ideological alignment with that, even if billionaire CEOs have it coming, and even if I think he should go free.
