So, a bounty is placed on your head, what's next?

Ok, let's say someone puts an outrageous bounty on your head, dead or alive, what do you do? Keep in mind you only have your income and your face will probably be identified at airports, so with bounty hunters and cops after you, what do you do?

Who placed the bounty? The US government? A random rich guy?

I turn myself in if the price is egregeously high. Don't want anybody getting greedy with a shotgun.

FaxModem1 · Post by **FaxModem1** » 2003-11-02 03:04am

random untouchable rich guy, and turning yourself in has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard(no offense).

I take the route of least resistance.

First a minor nitpick: unless the gov did it, the untouchable rich guy could not get this nation's cops going after me if I had done no convictable crime, now hired guns and guidos by the assload? Yes, and they are far more troublesome than the fuzz.

1) alert the authorities
2) arm myself to the teeth (read: lots of mortgages and maxed out credit cards)
3) find out what the hell is going on.
4) figure out a plan of attack and prepare to go down fighting like a madman.

Weren't there a few television series about a similar thing? "Nowhere Man" comes to mind. Anyway...

It seems implied that the government is after you because the original poster mentioned even the police wanted you. (Unless they're all crooked and/or broke and were going to keep the bounty for themselves. Heh.) Do we know why we're wanted? Do we know who placed the bounty?

My first instinct would be to round up all the cash I can, "secure" a car or something, and head for a border.

That only delays the inevitable, though. Best idea, in my humble opinion, would be to get the bounty removed, and the government off my back. And keep a journal of the adventure so afterwards I can write a book and (assuming I come out alive, of course) have it published and make some cash. =) Now, the first thing I'd do is gather up a backpack with stuff I may need... (extra clothes, hygene products, shit like that) and lay low. Pretend to be a bum. Then, I'd liquidate all my assets (which isn't very much), attempt to covertly contact my friends and family and ascertain who is still friendly to my cause.

Next order of business would be to gather information regarding the motives of this maniacal, rich do-gooder and...

Aw, shit, who am I kidding? I'm with Hyperion. Get the guns and go down fighting.

Kill them all. All of them, and put their heads on stakes.
Cops don't do bounties, so that leaves me with the morons
who bounty hunt. Mr. Jerry Rigged Claymore takes care
of that.

Nothing to fear about. OBL and Saddam both have million dollar bounties on their head yet they are doing fine.

If I have a professional after me who knows what he's doing I'm fucked unless I can kill the bastard who put the bounty on me & all his associates before I get killed. If I can do that the bounty's worthless since it can't be collected and the pros will go hunt someone else. If I have amatuers coming after me I can probably take care of myself, probably. As long as I don't slip up I'll be fine.

Oxymoron, I recall a bounty where they captured the wrong guy.

Oh I'm not talking about those guys who bounty hunt as a living. When I say professional I'm it's more like "Dick Marcinko gets contracted to whack my ass".

Get as much cash I can, take a bus from Connecticut to San Diego, (where I lived two summers ago), and either hide in someone's basement or be a bum there and sleep under a bridge.

Then I alert the authorities and arm myself to the teeth just in case. That should take care of the problem nicely.

Lots of heavy illegal weapons. That and a surplus M60 tank w/ ammo.

And I call the police.

I have a very rich friend. He would be able to get me out of the country, and provide me with a lot of spending cash. Once in the states, I get a fake ID, and wear a hoodie so that I might be mistaken for a 17 year old (then I can buy guns). Then I stock up, and sit tight.

Comming from the family i come from i'd have no worries. Even though i disagree with my family's involvement in Ulster Paramilitarism i'd stand by them and they'd stand by me in a situation like this.

OTOH i have enough in the bank to get my face altered and move away.

Enigma · Post by **Enigma** » 2003-11-02 02:10pm

Hmm... if it's dead or alive then I'd let the guy take me and on the way to collect his bounty, I'll try and kill the bounty hunter. Take his stuff and go after the guy who placed the bounty. If I can get him alone then I'll rob him blind, bind and gag him and put him in a freezer. Then I run like hell.

Knife · Post by **Knife** » 2003-11-02 02:18pm

Situation always dictates but some things to ponder on;

With todays society, you can easily be tracked via money transactions and credit card actions. To avoid such things, you must avoid using any personal electronic systems under your name.

Any body hunting you would have done their home work. They would know, or you should assume they know, you family and your friends. Stay clear of any of these things and pick a totaly ramdom place to flee to that you have no history with.

Out of planes, trains and automobiles, go for the car or truck. Airports have massive security and a lesser degree with the trains. The US is one giant freeway with only the occasional cop. Buy, barrow, or steal a car and get out of the immeadiate area.

Once outside of the area, you can convert to a quicker and more legal method of transpo (if you stole the care to escape).

Assuming I ever get around to creating that fake identity for myself...

Use that, steal some plates off a random car and use them to replace mine. Head to a gun show and get some heat. Then I either get the fuck out of the country, or go to take down the bastard who put the price on my head, depending on if I know who it was/just how hard they would be to get to.

Wicked Pilot · Post by **Wicked Pilot** » 2003-11-02 05:40pm

I would liquidate my accounts, grab some personal effects, and drive the ten miles to Mexico. Assuming I know the border will be uncrossable due to the authorities, I would quite easily steal a light plane from one of the small airports nearby, and fly it over the Rio.

Hyperion · Post by **Hyperion** » 2003-11-02 05:58pm

I forgot about my indirect New York mafia connections thru my half-sister... She's offered me their services before. I also have local redneck contacts, most are of the paramilitary type and have more than enough guns to take over Canada.

In short, with me it would be very interesting very quickly.
