Frein arrested
The fellow we wrote about a few weeks ago who shot two Pennsylvania state troopers, Eric Frein, was arrested last night and hauled in to booking in the handcuffs of the officer that he killed, according to Fox News;
“He did not just give up because he was tired,” state police Commissioner Frank Noonan said in a press conference late Thursday night. “He gave up because he was caught.”
The quiet takedown of Frein, who kneeled and put his hands up when marshals approached him, ended weeks of tension and turmoil in the area, as authorities at times closed schools, canceled outdoor events and blockaded roads to pursue him.
He looks a bit worse for wear in the picture, though. If the troopers didn’t do that, Mother Nature must have put a whooping on him.

50/50 chance he makes it to trial or hangs himself with his underwear.
…Or maybe pleads guilty to receive life sentence w/o parole, and avoid possibility of death row. Eric Rudolph (Olympic Park bomber) should have been put in the ground, but his lawyers had him admit guilt to avoid a trial…stuck in supermax for rest of his miserable life.
He sure doesn’t look like much now.
He’s been such a “hero” to Cop Block, and a number of other extreme right wing, anti-police groups over the last few weeks, you’d have thought the guy was Rambo.
With diligent research, you will find the membership of those “groups” are not right wing at all…rather they are leftist
Yep.
This is why when they finally found christopher dorner (LAPD / Navy wackaloon) had a manifesto that was pure leftist rubbish.
If he had a right-wing manifesto, it would’ve been the bible of gun control activists and the media. But it wasn’t so, he left the media fairly quickly after he quit on life.
Good point, Eric… it was amazing how fast Christopher Dorner exited stage left, sans a few 4Chan memes.
Bullshit.
Puh-leeze. As Streetsweeper said, with a minimum of effort, you could have avoided looking foolish.
Looks like he took a good braining, as any move he made without instruction from the arresting officers is treated as an act of aggression. The fact he’s only slightly lumped up is a sign of tremendous restraint.
Perhaps Caesar had him “thwown to the flaur”.

It’s absolutely hilarious in German.

(Both are probably NSFW, around small children, or prudes.)
That was funny! “Biggus Dickus and his wife Incontinentia Buttix”
Sheesh … mebbys I should watch “Life of Brian” in full.
“Romanes euent domus” still makes me laugh.
He’s caught, huh? He’d better stay caught.
Say it ain’t so! The po-po would never let him fall down while walking him to and from his various appointments with the detention and judicial systems.
Yeah, well, I am glad he’s in custody but he did a helluva job eluding capture. I have to figure that all available technology and tracking expertise were employed in trying to locate him and yet he stayed loose for 7 weeks. He murdered from a distance and, when finally the end came for him, he surrendered like the whimpering pussy that he truly is.
He skinnied up big time. Looks like the malnutrition effected his eyesight and he walked in to some tree branches. Repeatedly.
He probably fell up a flight of stairs, too. Twice.
Old Trooper, that’s also the Chicago way too.
Like I was telling the guys at work today, all of these “survivalist” goons that become fugitives pull the same trick. They break into cabins, they steal food, they eat from dumpsters. The whole romantic notion of some rogue pick catching fish and living off of the land is bullshit. I read Horace Kephart on the subject, he thinks it’s bullshit too.
Speaking of work, I blew two 751A SEL relays today…think Sparks can get me a job? I might be moving on soon.
While he was in the back of the cruiser, media got in the way a few times and the driver had to slam on his brakes 5 or 10 times.
PBMF, Eric. Enjoy your permanent stay in hell.
Copy that, NHSparky. He will either go to hell when they shoot him up on death row, or he will BE in hell with 23 hour lockdown and no human contact for the rest of his wasted life. Shame he will never see gen-pop with Bubba, Thor and Carlos.
Oh. He will not have a pleasant stay.
Nice footnote: when he was captured, they cuffed him with the handcuffs which belonged to the officer he killed. How appropriate.
They did it wrong — he’s still breathing.
I’ve heard stories about perps not watching their head when being stuffed into a cruiser, “*THUMP!* I told you to watch your head *THUMP!*, please be more careful!”. Doo-doo happens!
I think he looks far better than he deserves.
Some of the oldies will get this:
Frein: “Chu Hoi! Chu Hoi!
US Marshal: “No Bic” Bam, bam, bam.
word between the winds says- that trooper was messing with frein’s wife/ ex-wife. it was addressed, but got out of hand. but still doesn’t justify his actions.
I’ve know some shady cops in my times and past- so i can see his frustration with the system- or “the man”
and if he was just a deranged cop killer- why not rack up the body count while on the run?
wonder how much is being smothered
like in a line unit of a HHC/HHD- some always is a dirt bag. hopefully this isn’t the case- hate to have this dudes name wrecked and his family having to deal with the fall out.
