Ward is 29. I'd assume his parents are in their 50s, grandparents maybe 70s. I couldn't live with myself for my parents losing their home 5-10 years from retirement because of my dumb arse. No way I'd run in that scenario.


If there is any possible way for me to escape and disappear, I'm fricking gone.

My parents would be pissed if I DIDN'T.

I certainly wouldn't kill myself. frick all that.

so you would run, cost your parents their fortune, and almost certainly get caught eventually?

I double checked and the commercial surety bond portion was $822,000. So the bounty hunter would be looking at an $82k-164k payday for bringing him it. That buys a lot of dog food and bear spray.

Well, I'm not Garrett Ward, so I don't know his family dynamic or personal situation.

I also don't know his intelligence level or survival abilities.

My dad is an old school badass who would say frick this house, get the hell out of the country. He wouldn't lose a second of sleep over it and neither would I.

I have no doubt in my mind that I could disappear and never be found, especially if I had 4 years to plan it.

He killed the guy in 2018. It's not like he had to leave with just the shirt on his back.

You people are way over-estimating the abilities of some bounty hunter. The world is a big place.

you are over estimating your survival skills and under estimating how big of a story "White man fleas after receiving bail for beating homeless black man to death" would be.

I doubt you make a week after you cut the ankle monitor off.

In this scenario your dad would lose where he sleeps. That’s definitely going to cut into his actual sleep.

then you're a dick. I wouldn't be fine with my parents and grandparents losing their homes because I'm a drunk

you're also probably way underestimating the ease to flee the country or completely disappear, more would do it if it were that simple.

Ding ding ding. It would be on CNN tonight if that were to occur. I’m surprised it hasn’t made national news yet. It’s not everyday that a white man beats a black man to death. This is right up the MSM alley.

I know a white guy that beat a another white guy to death. He got 30 days jail and 5 years probation. Road rage incident.

The racial aspect is what’s eating Garrets lunch here.

I haven't followed the case, but people get killed everyday and their killers get drastically difference sentences for all kinds of varied reasons.

To pretend that external influences like media, race, publicity, etc., don't factor in is naive.

Well, in this scenario, you've killed someone, so "you're a nice guy" has already left the building.
