He won't let it happen either. It's clear he wants to ride this out for some level of fame and not just "live in peace".... Hence why he had a Tucker Carlson documentary crew follow him around this week, and probably for the next while.
I can't blame him for that though, he'd never get hired as a nurse due to the infamy, and even if he did, he'd be making maybe 75k. Milking this incident out for a documentary/movie/book, and perhaps a future in political commentary will have him set for life with millions of dollars. The grift for money and fame would be too hard to resist to trade for a life of mediocrity in a hospital and living a middle-class lifestyle. Good for him imo. Shoots a pedophile, goes through a year of hell and PTSD, will come out rich as a result. The American Dream.
