“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.”
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956
Eric Frein may be the latest installment of a tradition in the American story of outlaws like Eric Rudolph, Troy James Knapp, Jason McVean, and Robert William Fisher, who were able to elude government and its police for years in rural and urban environments. No one is calling them heroes for their misdeeds or misadventures simply Exhibit A of why the over-funded police in America tend to be a lethal clown posse in rural America. “Popcorn” Sutton provides a memorable vignette on how to make the rural trade prosper. I will leave to others to assess what the mindset of Frein may be and the various theories about why he did what he did. I suspect that Frein may be part of a growing subculture in America that despises and loathes the state of American policing today. This small subculture is not comprised of criminals per se but folks who are simply tired of living in the emerging Stasi state that is the USA.

Bring it. We won't sit quivering in terror as the boots come stomping down the hall. We'll make them scared to leave and kiss their families goodbye every time they go on a round-up. This ain't Stalin's Russia. Bank on that.
ReplyDeleteThis ain't Stalin's Russia.
DeleteYup.
As I have said police are a limited resource. Once they become prey they will no longer be any threat. Police are so ingrained being the ones with power they will crumble when targeted.

And how we burned in the camps later,
DeleteAnymore, I think the cops are terrified. The bad seed among them has turned so many against them that it is showing.
ReplyDeleteThere was a cop who said that he knew it was time to get out when he saw everyone shaving their heads.
