He stalked his prey and killed it. That's hunting. Then law enforcement tracked him and trapped him. Also hunting! But none of the rich family has done any hunting (yet). So far they are the hunted.

why are you romanticizing him? He waited outside a conference. That is like saying I hunted a hamburger at McDonalds.

All of this is besides the central point, which is that a killer would likely be on the run from detectives and maybe PIs for the rest of their lives.

I'm not. Hunting people in a safe democratic society isn't "romantic", it's not "The Most Dangerous Game" or anything else. Your analogy is absolutely accurate. Harvesting an oyster would be another. Still totally hunting (or maybe just gathering).

> the rest of their lives

Only if any of their adversaries survive with sufficient will to fight.

If it happened as they said, they couldn't really track him without the tip off.
