Booby Trap Attacks Targeting California Police Officers
FOXNews.com ^ | March 20, 2010 | Associated Press

Police in Hemet, Calif., are on a heightened alert amid assassination attempts against officers possibly orchestrated by a motorcycle gang.

HEMET, Calif. -- The tense atmosphere surrounding a California police department plagued by booby trap attacks has been stepped up a notch following the latest threat against officers.

Someone called 911 at about 5:45 p.m. Friday saying a police car would be blown up in the Hemet-San Jacinto area in the next 24 to 48 hours, Hemet Police Chief Richard Dana said.

"We're heightening the alert," Dana told The Press-Enterprise. The caller said the attack would be in retaliation for the law enforcement sweep against the Vagos Motorcycle Club earlier this week.

The Riverside County Sheriff's Department has not been able to confirm the threat, Deputy Herlinda Valenzuela said.

Crush those scumbag gangsters.

An aside...

Why, in this target rich environment, is FR going after Romney? Aren’t there enough dems to attack?

Just asking.

Ask the boss....

Romneybots do not fare well on FR. Sure there are enough dems to attack, but he's just a dem in Republican clothing. Aka, a RINO.

Welcome to FR.

I was wondering that as well. It sounds like it.

I wonder how many illegals are part of it, even if it isn’t.

I lived in Hemet and then in San Jacinto some 20 years ago...what a shame, it was a quiet friendly little community...

Interesting posting history you have there.

Quite obnoxious in your posts and quite the victim when others hand it back to you.

This sort of thing is what you expect to see in third world hell hole countries.

We need to take our country back.

According to wiki it started in Southern CA but is now in several states and in Mexico. Pretty typical links to drugs, murder, and other organized crime.

We’re sick of RINOs, who got us into this mess by detracting from Constitution-protecting conservatives.

Because Romney is a lying RINO-scumbag in the same class as Juan McStain and was so disgusted with Reagan-style conservatism that he was an 'independent' during the Reagan years and proudly proclaimed that later on.

Romney is a pathetic lying POS and our Founder has made that perfectly clear. RomneyBots have a short shelf life on FR, but you may need to find that out for yourself.

Oh btw, welcome to FR.

Because Romney resembles Potsy from the Happy Days television series. JimRob does not like Potsy from the Happy Days television series.

Oh, and because Romney is a Socialist/Liberal masquerading as a Republican.

Maybe, but in the overall scheme of things, irrelevant.
