He was on a one way ride to hell, he had no intention of surrendering.
He probably thought his attack would signal the start of the "revolution".
He thought wrong.

Will ultimately doom any mob or uprising. Sure, theyll try, but how do you successfully revolt with a lack of brains? How could Washington, Grant, Pershing, Patton, Eisenhower McArthur have succeeded if they didnt have the tact or the intellect and with good strategy?
Im willing to bet they were a tad smarter than these people.
