Police say Phillips broke out of an Erie County prison in April 2006, and allegedly shot a trooper June 10 near Elmira. Two state troopers were shot Thursday, Aug.31, 2006, in Chautauqua County, where the search for escaped convict Ralph 'Bucky' Phillips has been centered, according to a nursing supervisor at Brooks Memorial Hospital. Police would not say if they believe Phillips was in the area late Thursday or if the shootings were related to the search for the fugitive. (AP Photo/New York State Police)

I grew up in Chautauqua County, and my parents still live there. This guy is a first class a-hole, and, believe it or not, he is getting help from some of the local white trash population in Western NY.

New York State Police have confirmed two troopers were in critical condition after being shot while staking out the hometown of an escaped convict's girlfriend in an ambush Thursday, and authorities were searching the area for the fugitive. Police believe the gunman was Ralph 'Bucky' Phillips, who escaped from jail in April and may be traveling between Philadelphia and western New York, a State Police spokesman said (AP Photo/David Duprey)

"Troopers Joseph Longobardo, 32, and Donald Baker Jr., 38, were shot Thursday while staking out the isolated hilltop home of Phillips' former girlfriend, Kasey Crowe, who is among six people accused of aiding the fugitive. One trooper was hit in the back by a bullet that penetrated his bullet-resistant vest. The other suffered massive blood loss from a severed leg artery.

"Dan Suitor, who said he had known Phillips for 25 years, said the arrest of Crowe and Phillips' 23-year-old daughter, Patrina Wright, on August 24 drove his friend over the edge, especially after authorities removed Wright's three children -- the youngest 3 weeks old -- from her custody for a week.

"Buck has made it clear numerous times over the years, you don't mess with his family and you don't mess with his friends. ... Once they went after that daughter and those grandchildren, I'm sure he just snapped," Suitor said.

"Wright, contacted by telephone Saturday, declined to discuss her father at length."We are caught in the middle, though, and my kids were used to bring him out," she said.

He dies, yet you got all these sh*tbags around town cheering this scum mutt on...

[IronJack]

he can run but can't hide.

Au contraire. He seems to be doing both very well.

In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue... natural justice. This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No. Not vengeance. Punishment.

Rest In Peace Brother

I saw Phillips' family on the news. They were saying what a good person he was. And that the cops should go after the bad people and leave poor Bucky alone. It was disgusting.

Living there right now, normally I'd contest that, but you're dead on.

Why did they arrest his daughter?

Why did they arrest his daughter?

I believe that the family members were arrested based on evidence of harboring.aiding a fugitive (Bucky,)

May he rest in peace. Prayers for the family.
