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.

[@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.

[@John94709]

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. There aren't many police units out there that are equipped to deal with things outside of their training manual, much less deep in the woods.

[@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.

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.

Media sensationalism. The criminal thugs called cops and evil agents of the govs - drag these things out (especially cereal murderers) , and they release alleged clues they find along the way. To keep folks in suspense and hopefully fearing that they could be the next victim . Cuz the govs, through the media use it as a distraction from whatever evil deed the govs were up to perpetrating at the time, and the strong armed robbery of every city zen daily. And in return the criminal thug enforcers called cops and the evil agents of the govs - get media publicity.

And he was hoping to start something that might effect change. The criminal thugs called cops and evil criminal agents, strong armed rob the city zens blind 24/7 , the kidnap and cage the poor folks who cant "pay their dues to society/the govs" with cash, must sit in a cage until the thugs called cops rob their dues from the city zens, and thus "their dues are paid to society". And the cops also murder, stalk, terrorize, harrass, and do all of the things do criminal thugs do. And this dude saw the evident reality of things and hoped to start something that would effect change. But even if folks could effect change and free themselves from slavery to the evil crime boss slave lords called govs - Most folks think the evil govs are their friends, especially the criminal thug enforcers. Who actually protect the criminals and their crimes, by daring anyone to protect themselves against criminals, especially them/the govs, under threat of being kidnapped, caged, and held for ransom/dues. And possibly murdered. The criminal thugs called cops murder too. And rarely do they murder actual criminals - Only if they hve too. Usually they murder innocent non criminal offenders when they murder someone. And they treat the non criminals like dirt, and treat the real criminals with the utmost respect, and protect them from harm. With acception of the few they put to death, after collecting millions in dues under the guise of appeals. They block justice from being served, by protecting the criminals and earning money off of their misery. That is why dude did what he did.

What they don't talk about is why he did it. As a native Pennsylvanian, the insider story is; the one officer he shot was having an affair with either his brother or cousins wife.

Interesting you bring that up. I used to play in a band that was annually invited to play down in that area for a big party some local guy threw every year. It was an Octoberfest themed party so it was happening right at the height of all this. I couldn't make the gig that particular year, but my bandmates went down anyways. They told me how crazy it was with the lockdowns, news media, law enforcement and helicopters flying around everywhere. The other thing they told me was how all the locals at the party were saying it had something to do with someone's wife or girlfriend getting involved with the police officer. Who knows what the true motive was, but it's funny how the news media (including this dorky narrator) immediately ran with the story of him being some deranged gun nut survivalist that thought he was starting a revolution...or "Rambo" lol. Not justifying his actions either way, but honestly, the wife having an affair sounds more believable as to why he snapped.

I am SO impressed with your commentary. I watch a lot of true crime channels, and you sir.....are amazing! In addition to you being a natural at this, I must say that I am partial to your accent and way of speaking. Thank you for all your hard work. I appreciate it.

Wow, I can’t believe I forgot about this. I grew up in that area, and lived 15-20 minutes away from blooming grove at the time that they found him. I was in 9th grade, and remember having our safety drills in school (locking the classrooms and hiding etc ) while they were on the hunt for him 😶
