He had a hostage, shot him, hid his ids in the dead body. Started a fire as a divergence and used the flames as cover to flee the cabin.
It would be shocking if this Black Rambo escaped and/or had accomplices who would do more damage.
But he not a Black Rambo!!! Despite what the press would have us believe, he was just a Naval Reserve Naval Intelligence officer.
Intelligence officer, not some "High Speed Black Ops Ninja." I'm also pretty sure the extent of his "survival training" came from the Navy Basic Officers Course, that two days in the summer between learning the Laws of Warfare and how to find the front of a boat! All his crazy talk about being a "high Speed" intel guy, talk about IMINT, HUMINT, GEOINT and having a TS/SCI was him trying to make himself out to be special. Talking crap about Barrett .50 Cals and SA-7 Grails was just boasting at the moon!
I would suspect he was just an average beat cop. No time on any special team or anything like that (I'm going out on a limb since I don't know his service records).
He couldn't even live up to his manifesto. I think he lit the cabin on fire and feed himself a 45 round once he knew he was surrounded. Obviously he never learned about breaking out of encirclements. He was probably bummed to know that he was gonna miss Shark week on Discovery.
I hate when guys don't live up to their manifesto!
