Garbage man decision (spoilers)


He deliberately crashed the truck with the goon in it, jumping out before the impact. That was smart. But why did he choose to run away on the side the truck where the goon could see and shoot him?

I think Mr Patterson was extremely short sighted, as can be seen by the way he drives. Disorientated by the crash impact, he had clearly lost his spectacles when he climbs out of his truck and doesn’t see where he is running.

Been too long since I've seen it to remember. Maybe I'll see it again one day.
