Two firearms were missing from the family home, including the rifle and an AK 47, Frein’s father told investigators.

“Mr. Frein will be the top manhunt in the United States. Every law enforcement agent in this country is looking for this guy,” Noonan said.

Several people who knew Frein – described as 6 feet, 1 inches tall, 165 pounds, with blue eyes – said he had made statements against law enforcement and advocating mass violence, Noonan said.

“He is very angry about things going on in society,” he said.

Surely, there is some kind of intelligence out there that narrow the search parameters.

To the gentlemen and gentlewomen in the search for the sniper, find him or them.

Go forth and do good. Bring'em in.

Sovereign Citizens are only the single most dangerous domestic terrorists currently operating in the country, and they have a special view of targeting law enforcement specifically.

A survivalist who spoke of committing mass murder was the subject of an intense manhunt Tuesday, accused of fatally shooting a Pennsylvania state trooper in an ambush last week.

Authorities issued an arrest warrant for Eric Matthew Frein, 31, accused of first-degree murder in the killing of Cpl. Bryon Dickson II, a 38-year-old married father of two, at the Pike County barracks in Blooming Grove. Trooper Alex Douglass, 31, was wounded as he arrived for duty. Neither had a chance to return fire, state police said.

State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan said the attack Friday appeared to be aimed at law enforcement rather than the individuals he shot.

"He has made statements about wanting to kill law enforcement officers and commit mass acts of murder," Noonan said. "What his reasons are, we don't know. He seems to be very angry with a lot of things in society."

It may be consistent with RW militia but concluding that it must be this or that is a bit premature. I wonder if the RW blogs are right now spinning this on the Left?
