A manhunt is under way Tuesday for an anti-cop "survivalist" with mass-murder fantasies who is wanted in last week's deadly ambush of Pennsylvania state police barracks, authorities said. Arrest warrants have been issued for Eric Matthew Frein, 31, of Canadensis, Pa., for the Friday night shooting that killed one trooper and left another critcally wounded. "He is at large and he is considered armed and extremely dangerous," Commissioner Frank Noonan said. "He has been described as a survivalist...He has made statements about wanting to kill law enforcement officers and also about wanting to commit mass acts of murder."

The gunman opened fire with a .308-caliber rifle on the state police's Blooming Grove barracks late Friday. Cpl. Bryon Dickson, 38, was killed and Trooper Alex Douglass was wounded before the suspect slipped off into the thick forest surrounding the barracks

1. I kind of figured it would be one of those anti-government loons.

2. No different than the 2 Vegas nuts.

Kudos to the civilain that recognized and called police about the vehicle.

3. Interesting that corpmedia tends to ignore these stories AND the increasing

frequency of these events.

Corpmedia doesn't want to upset their Republican audience.

12. Don't you mean encourage their Republican audience? They love this shit, it's their wildest fantasy.

But they're still talking about it online, giving this a high-five. Liberty and all!

13. Huh? Is NBC not "corpmedia"?

This story is getting near daily coverage on the AP, a wire service that drives US news media.

[blm]

14. No heavy rotation - no saturation - no focused discussions on broadcast media

Like the cop killings in Nevada, the media moved on quickly to utter BS.

4. Well now...I'm getting off my deck!!

What if this nut starts shooting randomly? Everyone around here shots guns, it's sometimes very unnerving. There's this guy that lives down the road and the other day (before this incident) he shot all day long, well into the evening. Non-stop shooting, it's really scary. Can't wait to move. Anyone want to buy a house in the Poconos?

5. Link to "my survivalist" that lives within an ears shot of my home!

10. Not sure if related....

Cops swarming from Northumberland toward Shamokin Dam down Rt 11 toward Rt 15 few minutes ago. Quite a ways away from NEPA, but must've been 8-10 police hauling ass with lights n sirens.
