I'm wondering how, in today's age, a manhunt could take up to three years. Either he's great at flying under the radar or the hunters aren't very tenacious.

It's the dichotomy of the world we live in and I struggle to fully comprehend.

We are tracked, recorded monitored constantly, yet dickheads like this take 3 years to catch.. I don't get it. It's not like he was living alone in the woods.

Because the monitoring isn't being done to benefit society, but marketing agencies.

Because in both instances there are rich people making money and neither one are interested in providing a service to the public.

Because cops are mouth breathing retards. ALL cops, even federal ones.

The VAST VAST VAST majority of wanted criminals are arrested in traffic stops.

Cops are just as bad at their jobs as they are for the safety and peace of humanity.
