The suspect in the killing of a trooper and the critical wounding of another outside a rural barracks is a survivalist...

Eric Matthew Frein, 31, of Canadensis, Pa., is still armed with the .308-caliber rifle that he used to open fire on the barracks late Friday, State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan said at a news conference where he revealed the suspect's name.

Noonan called Frein "extremely dangerous."

I used to have a summer home not far from there. Do not think this is a slam dunk. More drugs, meth, and weed are trafficked and grown thru that area than your wildest imagination. There are hundreds if not thousands of families in that region with Eric Mathew Freins. I would want him to continue to survive to trial.

They found shell casings in his truck that match the shell casings from the scene.

>> nvestigators also found Frein's Social Security card, a Pennsylvania Game Commission range permit, camouflage face paint, a black hooded sweatshirt, two empty rifle cases and military gear, Noonan said.

Social Security card		unusual
Pennsylvania Game Commission range permit		normal
camouflage face paint		normal
black hooded sweatshirt		normal
two empty rifle cases		normal
"military gear"		vague

His peeps need to tell the media “he was just a good boy”..”about to start college”...

Hell is coming for you, Eric. Hell is coming and it will not be denied.

Yes there is, Monday.

I bet there are over 5,000 308's owned by the people in Pike County alone. I'm not saying he didn't do it, but I'm saying the information is as solid as the sales pitches for time share resorts in the area. "Don't you agree?", "Can't you see?", "If you don't act now?".

Too neat, tidy, with a bow around it. Put the guy thru the legal system, not the execution squad unless that's his choice.

“coincidence”

[ozarkgirl]

Darn him, it’s people like this guy that give survivalists a bad name. Jerk.

[JohnKinAK]

The whole car in the pond with ss card and matching spent shells sounds like a good setup for a patsie. But, what do I know?

[skinndogNN]

Sometimes you can judge a book by it’s cover. I bet people treated this guy poorly his entire life just because of his look.

Of course he’s anti-social.

[SargeK]

"In this context, someone who can make the woods their home and live off the land."

There's no evidence from the article that he actually fits that description.

From the article: "Frein... lived about 20 miles from the ambush site and lived with his parents until a few months ago."

Dude is 31 and still living with mommy. Hell, he couldn't even survive in his own apartment.

[Whats-wrong-with-the-truth]

An extremely dangerous "Survivalist" is any member of the Tea Party or like minded Christian Conservative until he is discovered to be a deep thinking liberal icon like Ted Kaczynski, Bill Ayers or community organizer like the great Barack Hussien Obama then he will be heralded as a martyr for the cause.
Of course he'll need to be shot and killed before they can turn him into a martyr. We will never know if this guy actually did the shooting.

[Ray76]

Perhaps they’re physically/financially unable to live without him.

[suijuris]

The social security card was in the car? Really odd.

Ill say. This whole thing seems already wrapped up with a bow on it.

All just a little too convenient.

[wrench]

Wonder what his Army dad’s specialty was. Officers aren’t usually marksmen, not their job.

[lightman]

Perhaps they’re physically/financially unable to live without him.

In that case: Mom and Dad....meet your new normal.

Even worse, I take the Spam singles (the fat slabs in the foil wrappers) to work, and eat them like a candy bar if I can’t get to lunch...

Is that like taking a weapon to work?

[Ray76]

Was the wallet in the car? But who carries their social security car in their wallet?

[kearnyirish2]

haven’t had a chance to try it yet (just bought it); I believe there are now five or more flavors.
