KING5 reports he's been found dead.

Good riddance. One less scumbag living in jail forever sucking up taxpayer money with cable tv and better meals than I get. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family, what a tragic way to start this year.

I expect they'll find him with a bullet in his head, self inflicted.

If he shot himself at least he saved the taxpayers a chit pot load of money.  Although the family may have preferred to see him fry.  If someone took him out, he needs a handshake and a job well done.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

BATCH3. Definately agree well said. Especially adding even a street cop doesn't have the proper training. There is nothing more dangerous than tracking someone with nothing to lose.  I do disagree that the war is not to blame. 99% of people who return with PTSD get back to normal and lead productive lives. This is just a loser POS who is a direct result of lowering the standards for people enlisting.

My prayers go out to the family of tje fallen officer and to the men tracking this guy. I just wish these giys would be allowed to have helicopter support in finding this guy. A fixed wing plane is almost useless. They need a helicopter but due to safety reasons they wont get one.  :bash:

Thanks for your service BATCH3

One article I read said they were bringing in both.  Sounds like both are CBP assets.  Curious as to why they're from OR and not B-ham or Spokane. 

Problem they were facing was the shooters lack the back country and skills and the rangers lack the shooter skills.

Something for departments to think about.  Especially counties that have places like Snoqualmie, Mt Rainier, Mt Baker etc.

Can't use Ft Lewis assets because of the Posse Comitatus Act.

My thoughts exactly. Saving us tax payers lots of money and headaches of wondering if justice would truly be served.
Glad he got his.
I hope the other 4 victims recover and that the father & kids are as best as can be expected after losing their wife/mother.

Really hope he was capped by LE. Hope he did not do himself in. Hypothermia would be OK too...

1) What is CBP?
2) The National Guard Apache's could be ulitized, correct?
3) The WaDNR has FireCobra's, do they retain their armour or has that been removed.  And do they have firefighting IR that could be of use?

They can use the Ft. Lewis assets just as long as they are not in direct action. Such as they can't shoot or arrest anyone. They help out Border Patrol all the time. But because of this act (which I support 100%).  our forces can only assist the officers in searching for criminals or illegal immigrants.  So for example a military helicopter could fly around searching for this guy and call in anything he finds.

Shot in the knees by LE and left for hypothermia would be best.

And an Apache or Cobra would be safe from a guy with an assualt rifle?

Latest report states that they do not have his body yet.

Probably identified thru FLIR a body in a canyon..... 

It is too bad good people have to go claim his miserable carcass....
