Do you want to know what living under martial law is like? Take a look at the clip below. Five weeks of it.The story barely makes a ripple outside of PA. Residents of NE PA know. “Shelter in Place.” Cute. With the latest sighting this weekend, the Pocono Mountain schools were again closed today. It is still going on. When Frein first shot and killed a State trooper, and seriously wounded another, the race was on. Over a thousand law enforcement officers were on the march to capture him. Our civil rights be damned. Call it what you want. So I bring you an update. After the clip, a roundup of parts of previous posts. The Newspapers now only permit a few hits, so I will post the links at the end of the story. The main diary of events can be found at DHS lifts Martial Law order -‘Shelter in place’ in NE PA over cop killer Frein- UPDATE. However citizens are still being deprived of exiting and entering their homes at will as I write this post. A number of roads this past weekend were closed. No way in or out.
Here is how this saga started:
The Pennsylvania State Police are asking all residents of Barrett and Price Townships to shelter in place immediately.
Please do not go outdoors and remain away from windows or openings to the outside.
Police are in the process of searching the area.
Please stay tuned to media outlets for further information.

Shelter-in-place order lifted for Barrett, Price townships
State police are lifting a shelter in place order for the area of northeastern Pennsylvania where a manhunt for the suspect in a trooper ambush is underway. Note it is the DHS that is lifting the order.
Homeland Security spokeswoman Maria Finn said in an emailed statement late Saturday that residents should use extreme caution as they move back into their homes in Barrett and Price Townships. She says police strongly recommend that residents stay inside and not enter the dense woods were officers are searching for Eric Frein.

News from the gulag.
Adam Christmann, a 43-year-old security and counter-terrorism consultant whose clients include the U.S. Air Force, has lived in the Hamlet, as it is called, for 14 years and raised his family here. He’s had his share of nervous moments. His two daughters, age 9 and 12, both go to the East Stroudsburg schools and count on the school bus to fetch them each day. Early on, however, school officials decided it was too dangerous to send buses into the hot zone. So Christmann drove them.
One evening, though, his family was broken apart. Fetching his older daughter, he returned, only to find the entire area in “lockdown” — no one goes in or out — his wife and younger daughter inside. By 11:30 they found their way home. But at least 20 of his neighbors had not. They made their way to the local firehouse, only to find no cots, no where to sleep.
“Someone dropped the ball,” Christmann sighed. For what had become effectively state of emergency, there was no federal or state emergency workers in sight.
For folks like Christmann, “the current issue facing residents up here is ‘how/when do we return to normal life?’ Or is a heavy police presence, helicopters and uncertainty the ‘new normal’? I think that uncertainty is what is causing the most stress—not an actual feel of being in danger.”
Still, these tight-knight communities have suffered over the past two weeks in a host of ways, large and small—often less than apparent to many on the outside looking in. At least 13 homes were on the block for sale in the Hamlet alone before Eric Frein fired his fatal shots two weeks ago.
Rich Barry, one of the residents, said he was coming home from work in New York City at 7 p.m. when police stopped him at Route 447.
“I have a wife and a 2-year-old at home and I want to see them,” he said. “I wanted to try walking back home, but an officer told me they’d put me under arrest.”
At 3 a.m. Saturday, about 15 state police cars from the Montoursville and Towanda barracks crossed the roadblock at Route 447 and Bear Town Road and headed northeast on Bear Town Road toward Blue Ridge Drive.
Shelter in place issued for Barrett and Price Townships Pennsylvania State Police are asking all residents of Barrett and Price Townships to shelter in place immediately.
As search for Eric Frein continues, police block Clarks Road near Cresco
State police told stranded residents Monday afternoon that they will try to allow those who need to get to their homes to check on their children and/or pets, or retrieve any needed medications.
Police did say, however, that stranded residents may need to work out contingency plans.
“Whenever whatever’s happening now is done happening, we’ll start taking you to your homes. We don’t know when that’s going to be,” police told the stranded residents Monday afternoon.
UPDATE: Price Twp. newcomers separated from their 4 daughters for 2 straight nights – 11:27 am Monday, September 22, 2014
Stranded at the blockade near Snow Hill Road as the manhunt continues, Steve Heller and Tara Knichel of Rock Ledge Estates, Price Township, spent the second night in a row, Sunday night into Monday, separated from their four daughters ages 7 to 17.
Heller: “It’s frustrating being separated from our girls. They don’t know what’s going on with us. We have a cell phone and charger in our car so we try to stay in touch
Rick Szlachta from South Carolina is visiting his mother in Price Township: “I came up Thursday and got separated from my mom (Sunday night) with the blockade. I’ve been in touch with her by cellphone.
Mark Hiller Eyewitness News (This is where you chuckle with their “misinformation”)
‘It has come to our attention that media reports exist that indicate the Pennsylvania State Police were not allowing residents to access their homes during our search efforts for Eric Frein. To clear up any misconceptions regarding the search, we have been diligent in respecting the rights of the public while working hard to keep both residents and law enforcement personnel safe. We need to be deliberate and methodical in our operations, as we still believe that Eric Frein is armed and very dangerous. At no time did we completely restrict access to homes in the area. If a resident required access to their home for a vital reason such as retrieving medication, we provided an escort to their home to ensure their safety. There is currently no shelter in place advisory and access to homes is not affected. The Pennsylvania State Police appreciate the assistance and patience we have received from the public as our search efforts continue.
Back to the post.
They say they are closing in. Let us hope. So much for Emergency Planning. The Red Cross is setting up shop. After 11 days?? I guess this is for those still sleeping in cars.
So much for the end of “Shelter in Place.”
Earlier September 20, 2014
At 7:45 a.m. this morning, state police are still asking all residents of Barrett and Price townships to stay in indoors and away from windows. (Meanwhile, citizens are being threatened with arrest).
An evacuation center is in place and there are reports that residents who could not get to their homes either stayed at the center or slept in their cars last night as the search for Eric Frein continues in the Bear Town Road area off Route 447. Ed. How about our pets and medications? How did they “stay” when there were no beds?
Late Saturday, authorities lifted a “shelter in place” order but urged residents returning home to use caution and to stay out of the dense, boggy woodlands where the search was underway.

Thanks for the link. It is a good one.I didn’t expect a lot of interest in this, and I wasn’t disappointment. Still, I wanted to document it once again. No one seems to find anything wrong with this. The search of the same ground over and over again makes no sense whatsoever Trying to push folks to their limit? Not even close.

A hundred years ago an armed posse of local citizenry would have smoked him out and killed him in no time. But today’s liberal Amerika would prosecute them for murder and pay millions in civil damages to the family of this scum. But then again 50% of these people have voted for, over and over into perpetuity, the Amerika we have today.

The locals, who are hunters, know each ridge and swale and could have smoked him out happily for the $175,000 bounty. Tell me how cops in police cars 20 feet apart are going to catch him. Meanwhile the locals live in their cars when they are not permitted to go home. Go figure.
