So, the names are known and an incident report with their names exists.

They, along with Johnathan Ross, might want to consider a move to a country with no extradition treaty while they still can.

I'm not sure we're respecting extradition within the US anymore. Ross used to live in Minnesota but after he murdered someone other agents were seen moving stuff from his house and he's been disappeared to somewhere else in the country - if Minnesota prosecutors decide the video evidence they do have is enough to convict and they bring charges, do you think the Confederate States of America will return him to face justice?
