Pennsylvania police: 1 trooper killed, 1 injured in barracks attack; person being questioned

[Anti Federalist]

Officers from New Jersey and New York have been assisting in the search for Frein, but do not legally have the authority to arrest him; the bill on Corbett's desk would change that.

You think that would have stopped any of them from shooting him?

Not at all. They didn't have "arresting powers" so what else were they to do?

Officer safety would be ensured.

Well, now that it is an official state "emergency" it's about time for the guv'nor to call out the state guard.

With all the ineffectual press it won't be long until this is declared a national emergency...

Seems a good majority of the ABC news comments go against the lice. People are heavily mocking them. A funny one about Frein getting a haircut in the woods. One or two people said they'd help Frein.

Police report possible new sighting of ambush suspect Eric Frein

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/10/2...-ambush-suspect-eric-frein/?intcmp=latestnews

Pennsylvania State Police did not recommend that schools close, district spokeswoman Wendy Frable said.

"We would not bring the students in if we did not have reassurance from police they felt the campus was safe," she said Monday morning.

Hours later, as police ramped up their search efforts in the area in response to the latest possible sighting, district officials moved outdoor after-school athletic practices to another campus. And late Monday, the district posted on its website a statement saying students will remain inside on Tuesday.

State police have said they believe Frein, a self-taught survivalist, has a hatred of law enforcement and wants to target police, not the general public.

State police said Monday that blood found at two homes in the search area is not linked to Frein. DNA testing ruled out any link to Frein in blood droplets found on a covered porch in the area. Material found on a back door at a second home near the first turned out not to be human blood.

Police believe Frein could be breaking into vacant cabins or vacation homes to look for food or take shelter.

It gets better:

Word is Frein's wife was having an affair with a state trooper, who was the target, and Frein got the wrong one. This is why the state police know the public is in no danger, and there is no interest in taking Frein alive. His story would get embarrassing for at least one state trooper.

 

[pcosmar]

Damn. I was hoping he was no longer in the area they think he's at. He still could be though.

And what makes you think this unidentified apparition was Frein?

cuz they said so?

I have no idea where he is,, but it is apparent that he is not hunting cops. (or there would be more down)

I am more inclined to believe there was some reason for him shooting the ones he did,, but that is not being investigated.

It gets better:

Got a link? Is there anything to back that or is it just someones speculation?

I suspect it was something,, a reason,, but have no idea of particulars.

The rumor is, it was Frein's sister-in-law cheatin' on his brother.

 

[Anti Federalist]

Remember that scene in V for Vendetta, where he ships a million Guy Fawkes masks out to everybody?

Wonder how much a couple hundred thousand Eric Frein masks would cost?

 

[Christian Liberty]

As the OP of post #20 I'm in agreement with Cantwell. Otherwise I probably would not have posted it. In my world cops ARE the enemy that they see ME as. I don't steal from them, I don't kidnap them, I don't imprison them, I don't rape or torture them, I don't beat them and I don't kill them indiscriminately. Yet, that happens everyday to people that are not unlike me. These individuals that allow it just don't have my resolve. Gawd save the pig that does any of these things to someone I care about.

Cantwell and those who agree with him WOULD kill them indiscriminately in retaliation. THat's all I was arguing against. I'm not afraid of Eric Frein but I'm not really sure why you guys are rooting for him...

 

[pcosmar]

I'm not afraid of Eric Frein but I'm not really sure why you guys are rooting for him...

I'm not afraid of Eric Frein. And I am not "rooting" for him.

I am questioning the incredibly massive police response to him, and am curious about his motivation.

I believe it is possible that he had a very good reason for what he did. (and even if it was not a good reason, there was/is a reason)

Beyond that,, Police should not exist in a free society. period. the existence of Authoritarian Control Enforcers is only proof that we do NOT live in a free society.

 

[Philhelm]

...and Frein got the wrong one.

"Wrong" is such a subjective term though.

 

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

So, if the extra-marital stuff is true and Frein did it, then this would be more accurately described as somebody who killed a person who was philandering. "Cop killer" sounds emotional, irrelevant, and even inaccurate. If someone shoots the mailman, then they are not described as a "mailman" killer.

I did not see any evidence of Frein being anti-government, hating government, or hating law enforcement. Could be true, but does not seem to be any evidence.

So, it seems to boil down to spending millions of dollars on finding the killer of a philanderer. I'd bet people involved in extra marital affairs get pummeled weekly and a few are even killed. Don't see anything special in the context of the captain's claim that the shooter's action is an attack on everybody. Seems more like a family matter where a specific person might have been targeted for a specific reason. So far, the occupation appears totally irrelevant.

 

[Pericles]

The rumor is, it was Frein's sister-in-law cheatin' on his brother.

Anonymous said...Correction is in order. Frien is/was NOT married. It was his Brother's wife who allegedly had the affair with Trooper Douglas. Frien's brother lives near Trooper Douglas. This has been out there since the shooting and has been denied by the State Police. Frien has been unavailable for comment.

 

[Pericles]

"Wrong" is such a subjective term though.

OK - not the intended target.

 

[pcosmar]

So, if the extra-marital stuff is true

If true it would be a reason. I am not sure if it is true or not.
It may,, also have been for some other legitimate reason.. some reason unknown,, or some reason related to that.

(speculation) perhaps Frein confronted him,,and had words.. and perhaps the cop threatened Frein or his family.

Perhaps there was a damn good reason to kill the bastard.(Justifiable Homicide) but this won't even be investigated,, or even suggested by either police or media.

He'll just be killed if they even get a view of him. No doubt he will be silenced.
