the fire was set intentionally to provide the shooter cover for an ambush

I hope they'll find his carcass well done.

I hope he’s taken alive.

I predict he’ll off himself.

Death (even the charred alive kind) is too good, too easy, too everything for this monster.

But I’m kinda broken, and I know there’s a lot worse things than death out there—this guy needs to experience all these worse things.

That tracks.

I’ve always been aware that I can die on the job, and I made peace with that possibility.

There’s no peace to be made of dying like this… dying due to being assissinated.

Senseless and tragic.

But for the Grace of God…
