i don t think so because he bolted. i mean, he took off from the state trooper once the trooper identified him. i 50 he thought he was so close to the border that he was making a run for freedom, which to me was kind of odd in and of itself because he would have just been out of the frying pan into the fire if he tried to cross the canadian border. our friends on the other side were ready and waiting. but the fact that he bolted i think, you know means he was still looking to get away. but also i was very surprised he didn t have a weapon on him. right. perhaps he did at one point in time but totally unarmed. richard matt, by the way, a couple of days ago when he was caught, he was shot in the head. and david sweat was hit twice in his torso. i m wondering you tell me if you re a member of this task force, do you think these officers were directed if you have eyed on someone, try to take them alive?
