Is it possible that Hanzee was working on Floyd's orders to kill Dodd(her son) rather than rescue him?
His identity was gone. Showcased from the Vietnam vet / no respect thing at the bar of hicks. He fought back vs just taking it.
Also, I feel like he didn't care much about the Butcher family, since he was most LIKELY aware they were just bystandards, and not, how Dodd made him lie, some "sleeper" assassins.
Edit: also, if he actually got his hair cut, I wouldn't have been surprised that even with losing his identity, he would have killed the family anyway. He just killed Dodd first to clear him out of the way to think about his options.
I can't imagine the focus on him in the newspaper was just a gimmick to get the cops to him. He must have seen it as well
Edit 2: how funny was "The Undertaker" coming in like some boogey man Chigur, and getting iced immediately
Edit 3: the first three episodes alone of this S2 series had more story and character development, and interesting shit happen then the entirety of True Detective Season 2.
