There's not going to be a mistrial. This is going to be the most cooked trial you've ever seen in your life. Every single juror is going to vote guilty no matter what happens. Through bribery or threats it will happen. You can book it.

It's improbable that there won't be jury tampering, but the public support for this fella is pretty hard to deny.

He's a patriot, what higher truth can you speak to power than the great equalizer, a cheaply produced firearm?

He's a hero, they'll make a martyr of him, we'll make sure his name is remembered and other disaffected, isolated men at the end of their chains can have a new target. Instead of school children it can be someone more appropriate. What good is having power and privilege if you have to look over your shoulder while you're at the lake? What good is a yearly bonus if you have to pay it all to private security to protect your families lives?

We have far less to lose than they do, I can (hypothetically) only die once but with a little luck I can extract a very high price from a rent-seeking leech before I do.
