I use to live around that neck of the woods. I never liked it in PA I was broken into my home and cars more then when I lived in the city of Newburgh. It was not the utopia most of you gleem about living in PA. If it is still the same as the early 90'S I shall pass. Think of this where did all the mob thugs hideout. One large clue wasn't in NY. Heroin was a huge epidemic back in those days there. Lots of beautiful land and lots of places to go and do things. But when alot of you talk about escaping NY be careful what you wish for. I understand evil will be evil, and this is a isolated shooting. But be careful in the woods in PA much worse then NY.

I would say this isn't just a random shooting, barracks located in a remote location sounds like an ambush to me. Someone with a grudge against the state police or with one of the officers involved.

Another nail in the coffin... of gun rights.
Am I being too paranoid to think that this could be another left wing setup? Never let a good crisis go to waste.......

"Paranoid" is when you think someone's following you on your way to work because you see the same car twice on the highway. Thinking that a state trooper was murdered in a conspiracy to advance some sort of anti-gun legislation in Pennsylvania is downright stupid, a sign of mental illness, or a pathological need to believe everything bad that happens in the world is all about your issue. Okay, maybe 'paranoid' does apply.

Have you read project northwoods? Im not advocating that there is some conspiracy theory here but to say that to question events in every light is mental illness is a bit harsh. It is not make believe that our own government has done horrible nasty things to its own citizens over time, why should thinking that it still may be occuring be stupidity?

Hits a little close to home for me. I guy I've known since Kindergarten just graduated from the PA State Police Academy a couple months ago. He's not in that part of the state, thank goodness.

Who knows the reason. Probably a punk who had a grudge against the cops. Or maybe not...we'll see as details emerge.

I disagree, I moved here from LI, it is totally different here. Perhaps the lower Poconos where NY'ers and NJites have moved into en mass and bought their culture with them. But my PA woods is quiet and safe, the only problems I have encountered are with Blacks....Bears that is. I would not move back to NY for ANY reason. And I hope most NY'ers decide to move elsewhere.

For this old furt PA is paradise, I do not intend to go back even to visit relatives.

Yes, this. There's a reason we're three hours from NYC and didn't stop along the NJ/PA border. Poconos used to be a resort-type area, but that was many, many years ago. Now it's like a mini-Brooklyn, and I don't mean Brooklyn Heights kind of Brooklyn.
