    Personally think he underestimated the target this would paint on his back. Either that or he knew and was expecting to be caught.

    That’s the trouble with heroes becoming actual people and likely why media is covering who he is. Instead of being an unknowable symbol of defiance, we now have to grapple with the fact that he is human.
