Frein captured? He's lucky the Feds got him before the State Troopers.

Interesting.

So they finally captured Frein.  I don't know his motivation but after a 48 day manhunt either he thought he could evade capture...or he changed his mind and didn't want to die.

Did you notice who actually laid hands on him?  Yeah.  One of the two Federal Law Enforcement Agencies that would give me serious pause if I were ever to go over the deep end and start attacking.

One is the FBI Hostage Rescue Team.  They're badass and train with the best around the world.  The other guys (the people that grabbed Frein) is the US Marshals Special Operations Group.  I don't even know if you would classify them as "law enforcement".  They're something else entirely.  They're really like a bunch of badge wearing SOCOM dudes (you can call me a fan boy but they actually ran missions in Iraq..supposedly they were active in Afghanistan but I don't know).

Everyone else I'd feel confident in taking my chances with.  Those two..especially US Marshals SOG?  Not a chance.  Still.  Frein is lucky that the Feds got him first.  If the State Troopers got him, I'd bet body parts that he would be DRT..Dead Right There.

Sidenote:  I don't understand why Frein would stay in the area of his initial assault.  Why didn't he stay in the woods and attempt to get out of the area?  I'm sure we'll find out more but I find that confusing.
