"...the perimeter of the five-square-mile search area that up to 1,000 cops are manning at any one time..."
So, anywhere between a quarter of a million to three quarters of a million a day in taxpayer money to get this insolent peasant murderer, eh?
Fascinating.
PSP has been doing its share of taunting, too.
The Lt. Col. has repeatedly called him a “coward” in news conferences and late last week said that the Troopers had found “used diapers”.
For a dragnet, there are certainly lots of state troopers concentrated in one area. Kids got five days off school over the last two weeks. If dogs can’t catch his scent, it’d be better to use pigs, which have a better sense of smell.
He’s leading them into a prepared kill zone.
Every now and then, it occurs to me that it would not take too high a percentage of folks that had nothing left to lose to completely overload the machine. Just an idle thought, certainly not advocating anything, but just a thought.
Didn't think of the economics of it. Better to let this scumbag go free. /s
Head for the hills!
I don’t approve of what this guy did. He deserves to be brought to justice.
However... his ability as a lone wolf to evade, and to some degree humiliate, a HUGE (1000:1) dragnet focused on hunting him down is quite interesting to me.
Maybe we 100 million gun owners armed with over a BILLION guns — many of us rural, and many of us with similar skills — DO actually stand a chance against a tyrannical fedgov.
Should it come down to that. I pray it doesn’t, but if it should...
Remember that other Eric? Eric Robert Rudolph, perpetrator of the Atlanta Olympics bombing, among other crimes?
He disappeared into North Carolina's Nantahala National Forest for some five and half years. The feds mounted massive man hunts, and the FBI offered a $1m reward. He was finally caught by a rookie cop while raiding a dumpster behind a grocery store.
So we have a guy that has killed one law enforcement officer and attempted to kill another. He’s armed and dangerous and we can probably assume that his disregard for human life extends to non-law enforcement personnel. What’s your budget proposal for dealing with this guy?
The article gives way too much information about the one woman, her family, their names and ages, where they live, which family member is bedridden, etc.
She’s not even involved, and the Daily Mail put all that information out there for everyone to read. Not good.
Where is Lon Horiuchi when you need him?
Never mind, he only shoots unarmed women & babies.
Total cluster. They also didn’t have a problem ignoring people’s right during this manhunt.
Wait a minute - a thousand cops set up a perimeter, and he's OUTSIDE it?
Why don’t they post a 1 million dollar reward, back off and allow all of the local boys to organize and go get him? It would be far faster.
Rent the Goodyear blimp and put 3 guys with IR scopes on board. Nighttime would work best.
Imagine if every state was chasing one “expert survivalist”. How long before the budgets would collapse?
In one of the pics on DM....he has a red, blue, and white round patch on the camos. What is that???
