Noonan called Frein "extremely dangerous."

1 down. 1 to go.
Canadensis, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- Police in Pennsylvania appeared to be closing in Friday night on the suspect in the slaying of a state trooper.
Police have surrounded a home where they believe Eric Matthew Frein is believed to be hiding, a local government official told CNN. The home, which was broken into, is not far from Frein's family home in Canadensis, Pennsylvania, in the Poconos Mountains. Police exchanged gunfire in the area with an individual believed to be Frein.

If you ever remember the name, try to remember to ping me.
I was thinking something like “The Bunker” or “the Bomb Shelter”, or something.
I would love to see some photos, I loved the idea.
And a few who carry it a bit far, burying a cosmoline-coated SKS in the backyard, for instance. Mostly they’re harmless eccentrics, but not this character, obviously.
That isn’t carrying “it” too far, and preppers aren’t “harmless eccentrics”, it is an American tradition and still relevant in our lives.
You don't seem to want to accept the fact that you're dealing with an expert...
update as of Saturday morning:

Authorities who spent the night in the neighborhood where a man suspected in the fatal shooting of a Pennsylvania State Police trooper lived with his parents donned bulletproof vests and gathered heavy rifles before fanning out this morning.
The burst of activity followed a long night that included gunshots and police telling residents to stay in their homes.
If that was Frein who the they were exchanging fire with, it looks like he got away for the 3rd time.
with a man who’s the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who’s been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke.
Frein sounds like some sort of spook. He’s traveling overseas, he’s running around with Ukrainians in the woods playing soldier, he’s taking Russian and Serbian language classes, he talks of fighting with Serbians in Africa, he’s a weapons and tactics specialist, he’s got paperwork on foreign embassies in his car, no one can say what he’s been doing for the last decade or so, etc.
I had the same thought — if what has been reported about him his true.
Concentrated foot search underway right now. (1700 local)
They have a tight area they suspect he is in and have many officers on foot pushing through heavily wooded terrain.
Area is 1 mile X 1/4 mile, very heavy woods with rolling terrain
He only fired four shots. Three hits.And yes the guy was a 1000yrd. member
Bo Gritz was the one who helped end the standoff. Gerry Spence took Weaver's case pro bono.
Entrapment, coercion, and murder by the Feds.
Weaver's beliefs may not have been mainstream, but he didn't go looking for trouble, they brought it to him.
Everything you say is true. I was simply looking at their use of the term ‘survivalist’. In the government and media dictionary that is a terrible thing to be.
Weaver & his wife lived outside the norm, off the grid, raising or killing what they ate, pretty much separating themselves from the outside world.
But when the government wanted to smear him, they called him a survivalist.
They pushed "white supremacist", and "right-wing extremist", too, and iirc, even tried to call him a neonazi. That was the sort of demonization tactic used against Koresh, Weaver, Gordon Kahl, and others, and is pretty much standard stuff.
