The Real Rambo | Hunting Eric Frein

[@ScottWiecenski]

I remember when this was all going on. There was a guy who sort of resembled Eric Frein. He didn't have a car and had to walk a couple miles to work. He got stopped at gunpoint like a dozen times. Eventually he wore a sign that read "Not Eric Frein". I felt bad for that guy, but from what I understand, people chipped in and bought him a cheap used car. Faith in humanity restored.

I also worked in the the Wayne and Pike County area for many years. When this incident took place, the area locked down and was inundated with law enforcement.

[@jfinney225]

i couldn't agree more! another reason he is my personal favorite true crime creator is that he doesn't over-dramatize the already doom-and-gloom stories. i hate when creators start speaking in those low, slow, scratchy voices reminiscent of a third grader telling a spooky story over a flashlight during his first ever slumber party, ya know? when a person takes on true crime as their genre, i believe they owe it to the victims and victims' families to stick to the facts and tell the story in a meaningful way and not stuff it full of unnecessary adjectives of monstrosities and other nothings that go bump in the night. i think Mike does that better than most TC creators on YT. humanity is scary enough without turning sick individuals into supernatural boogeymen.

Thanks for another one Mike. All war/battle reenactors have always perplexed me. I get memorializing the solders but reenacting?? Romanticizing brutal wars and battles is just demented. I loved that he called it “dress up.”

[@adambeckett8394]

Most reenactors these days refer to it as "living history", and it goes much further than just staging mock battles - they gives talks, demonstrate how equipment was used and carried, What food they ate, what their medical facilities were like, how they lived in camp etc. They take time to debunk movie and TV myths, and they aim for everything to look as authentic as possible. Oh, and their favourite stupid question from joe public is... "Is that a real fire you're cooking over?"

Why not do Sierra Leone and draw straws for who plays the women lying dead spread eagled on Rawdon Street in Freetown. Good luck un-seeing that, dear war re-enactors, and act like you don’t play a role in romanticizing the violence.

It’s keeping history alive, showing people what happened, which is more than can be said for schools. It takes some absolute dumb ass to call it ‘dress up’.

People got it in their head that he was an attractive man who only killed drug dealers. The reality was that he was working with the guy he killed and so knew he had money stashed away at his father's house. So he and another guy killed him and his girlfriend (wife? I don't remember.) who was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Then he kept going to the guy's father and telling him he needed the money to help his son.

Frein was an unbalanced 'survivalist', a 'war dreamer'...but far from a 'real-life Rambo'...the character actually based on veterans who came back from war actually troubled from what they experienced. Keep in mind, Rambo didn't want to hurt anyone...he just wanted to be left alone. Frein was NONE of these...he wasn't a PTSD suffering combat vet seeking peace, he was a 'war movie aficionado' who had survival skills and a desire to be 'recognized'.

You took the words right out of my mouth. From what I gather about the situation, the only thing that is remotely similar to the First Blood movie were the people trying to hunt him down.

[@klausd.6285]

You are only comparing personality traits here. You can compare someone to someone else on other things too. Or are you just the simple minded? Sounds like you are nothing but a fan of Rambo movies getting butt hurt over a real life murderer being compared to him. Rambo set traps, evaded people using the woods, knew how to survive , and was a great shot with a gun. All things this guy did. So please, tell me how that isn’t like Rambo at all. You can compare someone to someone else based off of a shit load of other things than just personalities. So, in case you can’t read or didn’t read the above. The comparison is the actions they both did and the skills they have, not their personalities or what they went through in life. Not that hard to understand something that damn basic.
