"Stranger-than-fiction manhunt ends..."

Some local news for y'all, quite an interesting story! Should be noted that there are two pages.

http://www.alaskadispatch.com/dispatches/news/5268-stranger-than-fiction-manhunt-ends-in-skwentna

"...Agnew and Shanigan didn't want the brothers to know they were coming, which ruled out the noisy helicopter. So on Friday, April 30, Agnew flew a two-seater Super Cub bush plane through snow and rain to a private gravel landing strip in Skwentna. The two troopers then hiked about 45 minutes through the snowy woods, wearing bulletproof vests and packing AR-15s and their duty handguns, until they got to an aluminum canoe a local lodge owner had stashed for them.

Skwentna had fresh snow and the temperature was in the mid-30s when the troopers put on life jackets and launched the canoe. They paddled through the frigid water for another 45 minutes and then slid the canoe across 15 feet of ice to reach the shore. After a short hike along the shoreline and up into the woods, the troopers spotted the cabin -- picturesque in a small clearing surrounded by birch and cottonwood trees..."

It's the story of two brothers from the East Coast living like rap stars on stolen money, and their adventure in the wilds of Alaska.

Stopped reading after that....

You really mean to tell me that the two troopers that tracked them couldn't have at the least come up with a resist in order to top these two scrotes? Ways and means act fella's. After a few years of plugging the guys who absolutely completely without a doubt deserve it- imagine the tax rebate :banana:
