The defendant later made good on that threat, at least as far as shooting Bob Mast.

The defendant was setting up an alibi for himself.

He's got plenty of time to drive it, plus 10 minutes or so to spare.

They are going down to check if the mast is still there.

Well, what we know
Is not what they tell us
We're not ignorant, I mean it,
And they just cannot touch us
Through the powers of the Most-High
We keep on surfacin'
Thru the powers of the Most-High
We keep on survivin'.

Herb is the unification of mankind.
