Which, in the absence of an clear alternative forms of electric generation in canon is just more "writer' can't do economics". After all, electric generation is usually super inefficient at recovering heat energy from burning hydrocarbons. It is mostly useful for turning that heat energy into easily distributed non-heat energy. So, cooking with electricity taken from an oil/gas power plant is actually way more expensive per BTU than just cooking with your choice of hydrocarbon to begin with after you get past initial capital costs. Just as an aside.
Other than that, look, this guy decided to throw hand grenades into the kitchen of a local Olive Garden before turning it into mini-Grozny, with a ton of innocent civilians around - in a part of town obviously well off enough the the LE are concerned about warrants and judicial review. Even if you let him out of the immediate physical scenario alive, his life now consists of being hunted until dead, self-exiled, or very publicly tried and incarcerated for life.
