Booby trap probe leads to Calif. raids, arrests
AP ^ | 4-20-2010 | By THOMAS WATKINS (AP)

LOS ANGELES — The Southern California homes of dozens of white supremacists were raided Tuesday as part of a probe into a string of potentially deadly booby trap attacks targeting police officers, authorities said.

Federal and local officers converged on 35 homes and took 16 people into custody in Riverside County for a variety of crimes, including weapons, narcotics and parole violations, Hemet police Capt. Dave Brown said.

None of the arrests were directly related to the booby trap attacks that have plagued the small Hemet Police Department since New Year's Eve.

"But we hope some (arrests) will lead us to our suspects," Brown said.

District Attorney Rod Pacheco said everyone arrested was connected to white supremacist groups.

"They are upset with our aggressive posture against all gangs," Pacheco said. "White supremacist gangs have been very violent, especially toward law enforcement."

Hemet police have been targeted at least three times. In one case, a ballistic device strapped to a fence at the gang unit compound sent a bullet within inches of an officer's face.

The Constitution calls the shots, we're the last backstop to prevent it's total perversion. The states haven't challenged these scum over rights that belong to them via the 10th ammendment. And the powers not delegated to the fed are many indeed.

Governors and state legislatures have let the people down. They've aquiesced to the central power in Washington, D.C. and the money they dole out, the way drug addicts would line up for a hit.

Popularly elected senators instead of selected senators has a lot to do with it. Popularity has nothing to do with a particular state's interest and everything to do with agenda driven interests.

The courts have played fast and loose with state's rights and some wonder why there are people who want to be a part of the Tea Party?

The fed knows no bounds, the states are balls-less and that means it's up to the people to assert their rights- in the face of derision and intimidation by those whose interests are threatened. Like Bill Clinton.

The forces against liberty have blown through the courts, knocked the states to their knees, and have us, the people, as the last thing standing in their way. It's no surprise they're going after all us "McVeighs" 'cause they've already got a captive audience with about half the country who produce nothing and are happy with a hand-out. Their kind of people, don't you know?

That's when you know you're screwed; when you look around and realize, you're screwed. The Tea Party offers hope and couldn't have come at a better time. November can't come too soon, either. It'll all get fixed when the people stand firm and hit the ball back at them. Ever hit a line-drive back at a pitcher? Surprise! Well, Obama's on the mound. 'Nuff said.

Got a jail or camp or city or STATE that’s big enough to hold 240+million people?

Got 240 million who will go quietly enough to get there?

Besides, it is a long, hungry, thirsty walk...ask the Armenians about that one.

The armenians werent armed to the teeth,

the armenians didnt have oath keepers and a volunteer army,

and the Armenians didnt have 200 + years of FREEDOM pounded into their heads...

Nope...the only two choices they will have...carpet bomb US cities...or give up.

A modern replay of the armenian holocaust?

Please....it took three days to pacify LA after the riots and NO ONE was fighting back.

I want you to reflect on something....

5000 assclowns with AK’s and IED’s gave our ENTIRE US military a hard time for the last 7 years in a country the size of ONE state....

WTF are they going to do with a couple HUNDRED MILLION ASSCLOWNS in a country the size of the US with a hell of lot more know how than your average goat herder...??

Nothing...that’s what.

Shut down the power, turn off the gas, block the major highway interchanges, stop rail traffic. Wait a week, two at the most. Round them up as they come to you, send out patrols to pick up the stragglers on foot.

Your turn to think. The people we would be dealing with are not hampered by human decency, nor rules of engagement as our military was. They will not care how many are killed--their goals involve eliminating dissent, not nation building.

Communist regimes and their totalitarian fellow travellers do not care how many they kill in the process, nor what means they use to do it.

Just wait for the snowstorm, and shut it down. Toss out the stiffs before spring... and march the rest to the camps.

WHO is going to be able to DO that?

You watch too much TV bud....or not enough...

If it was so easy...why didnt they do it to LA during the riots??

Oh...because you cant simply shut off a city by flipping a switch...

Wow....trutherville....

Yeah I’ve been having this same arugment with truthers for the last 8 years...FEMA camps and round ups...

WHO is going to follow these clearly illegal orders?

80,000 homeland security troops?

Ok...there’s ONE city MAYBE....new york has 8 million people alone...ONE CITY...

And how are you going to hold street corners in a city of HIGHRISES where tons of shit can rain down on you unless you take EVERY BUILDING AND HOLD IT.

What do you think a couple hundred pound desk can do to a hummer from 20 or 30 stories up?

Pure fantasy...

Nope...they might be able to simply kill everyone...but they wont be able to take and hold squat.

“there is a rifle behind every blade of grass”

The quote still holds bud.

"Trutherville". Never been there.

I live in a part of the country where temperatures reach -30 every winter, not counting wind chill. How to shut down the power? Ask New York. Ask Bosnia. It isn't as difficult to shut down a region as you seem to think, if it can be done by accident, it can be done on purpose.

WHO is going to be able to DO that?

Haven't been keeping up with Executive Orders, have you?

80,000 homeland security troops?

"A civillian security force, as well armed and funded as the US Army...." (That crazy, trutherville kook in the White House said that, not me).

What do you think a couple hundred pound desk can do to a hummer from 20 or 30 stories up?

Dunno. I think there is one 20+ story building in my state, and like many other states, there are vast numbers of communities similarly unendowed. It'll take some doing to get all those Hummers to wait in line, not to mention haul all the desks up there...

You are in an urban environment, judging from your comments, and likely in a more temperate one as well. People can (and do) freeze to death here.

A tremendous amount of America only has a few days supplies on hand, stores and warehouses in major urban areas a month at most, and the interruption of truck traffic along major traffic corridors, which can be done with as few as a dozen roadblocks can cut off a whole state. How much news have you heard out of say, South Dakota this week? How do you know it is not a complete fabrication? (Rhetorical questions only, I'm trying to make a point.)

Now do I think this will happen? No, not really. But I'm not one to ignore the possibility, especially with this government. Who would have thought they would do what they have done in the last year, including mounting a deficit in excess of any and all deficits in the history of the country?

Not to mention taking over auto manufacturers, banks, and the health care industry. Outrageous plans have a better chance of succeeding, apparently, because people are called 'kooks' and other cutesey names for even suggesting the thought. But 'outrageous' seems to be a hallmark of this adminsitration.

Just for fun: And how are you going to hold street corners in a city of HIGHRISES where tons of shit can rain down on you unless you take EVERY BUILDING AND HOLD IT.

Think tactically, now, the objective isn't to take and hold the city, but subdue it. So, the short answer is: You don't. You don't hold anything but the people in and the supplies out.

It is an old tactic, known as a 'siege'.

A few million people will eat themselves out of house and home in less than a fortnight. In a month, the pets will be gone, and some of the humans, too.

Nope...they might be able to simply kill everyone...but they wont be able to take and hold squat.

They won't have to.

“there is a rifle behind every blade of grass”

Yep. Where there is grass, that is. Greetings from the shortgrass prairie!

Dude

You are the one who is putting people in FEMA camps, not me. I never mentioned FEMA. I have always called for the location of these alleged camps, but no one seems to know where they are. Game over on that.

But, McCain just introduced a Bill to permit the indefinite internment of Americans judged to be 'terrorists' without bail, hearing, or trial (suspends habeas corpus).

As for the Alex Jones crowd, they are a bit out there.

Now, it is patently obvious, citizen, there is absolutely no historical precedent for putting large segments of populations in camps, that it has never been done, that those who were never put into the nonexistent camps were never exterminated, provided they were not not marched to death on the way there./s

Oh wait. I'd say that it just hasn't happened here, but it has. The camp (now Oklahoma) was known as "The Indian Territory" after the forced relocation of the Cherokee and other tribes, marched along what has come to be known as 'The Trail of Tears'. Thousands died along the way.

So, oops, it not only can happen here, it has.

It can happen again, if enough people just believe it can't.

Now, I don't spend every breathing moment worrying about such things, but eternal vigillance is the price of liberty, and I intend to keep my eyes open.

Police Departments throughout CA are now heavily Mexicanized, due to Affirmative Action and Political Correctness.

The not-so-subtle message is that lower-end white people got to go. (And them Mexicans ain't real down and jiggy with black folk neither!)

The not-so-secret PLAN is that, as Mayor Villaraigosa of LA once said, ""We are taking it back, one baby at a time, one house at a time, one street, one town, one state at a time. This is Aztlán, Northern Occupied México. We are taking it back because it is ours."

Think Kosovo. Once the Albanians had the police department, the rest was history.

My reference to the site ( Rense) was in the context of the summary of Fema Camps in the USA. That is an accurate summary and the sole context in which I made the reference.

Spin artist are you? Who do you work for?

Show us all how the FEMA camp references are not accurate.

I suppose if I refered to a rudolph the red nosed reindeer site,, you would be jumping up and down saying that I believed in Santa Claus. Buahahahahahahahahaha!

I have to laugh at you closet libs.

They won't have to take all 240 million. A good chunk will reconsider and "rehabilitate" themselves. They'll come in stages causing more terror and more people to suddenly go with the program. Mao sent literal kids out ripping people from their homes by the millions.
