He will last exactly 30 seconds on the street. You can't have people follow law and order if you refuse to follow the law and order imposed by the people.

A jury found him guilty, by pardoning him you are making the claim that a trial by jury is not honored and this will cause vigilante justice.

He has state charges as well so he will go to state prison

Genpop in a Minnesota prison. That pardon will definitely be a death sentence.
