First check this out from American Mercenary...
So the end of Frein's story is already clear, either he will die by cop, or be captured. So far he hasn't removed himself from the area of operations, didn't build a tribe or support network to escape and evade, and is now plastered on every BOLO (be on the look out) list of every law enforcement agency.AM is absolutely right of course. A quick "lessons learned" from both the Frein and Dorner affairs tells me one thing.
So the lesson to learn here is clear, if you are going to commit a crime don't fail at basic OPSEC. Don't write a manifesto. Don't leave shell casings in your vehicle. Don't use your cell phone. Don't keep trophies.
I don't know why people do these things, but I suspect it is because they want others to know of the rightness of their cause, of how they were so aggrieved that murder was justified, or some other nonsense.
They ignored basic military planning (even though both supposedly had military training). A recruit just out of Marine Boot Camp could have avoided many of the mistakes these two made/are making by simply employing the BAMCIS ditty.
Law Enforcement is lucky. Theses guys were operating off what seems to be some type of martyr complex. They wanted to be known for "doing this thing". One day soon LEO's will be faced with opponents that seek only victory, not fame.
And I'd bet body parts that those people are studying police response to both these incidents as we speak.
