They would have charged him and he would have gone to prison.
It's a movie so we get a happy ending even though he robbed a bank and murdered a man.
Trump lies:
Mexico is going to pay for the wall.
I can stop federal funds.
That's Hollywuss for you!
shareThe end of Season One of "Fargo" struck me the same way.
SPOILER!
Gus, the mailman who kills Malvo at the end by breaking and entering his cabin and shooting the immobilized, weaponless hit-man five (?) times is not only not prosecuted or fired, he's given a medal for heroism.
Neither one fully ruins an otherwise OK (Lookout) and excellent (Fargo) story.
