This story is from yesterday. No mention of "white supremacists" until later articles when District Attorney Rod Pacheco is quoted.

Aren’t all white people “White Supremists”? I’m sure the Obama regime thinks so. Also, weren’t the 2 guys that were busted yesterday at the Kansas City airport with 144 lbs. of cocaine in their plane also from Hemet? What’s up with Hemet?

Hemet...used to be a sleepy little town.

Then became a retirement community..with lot's of blue-haired ladies.

My mother lives in San Jacinto...just down the road from Hemet.

I think at one time....Hemet was sort of a outlaw M.C. town..sort of like Lake Elsinore.

This sound like Seattle when they had attacks on Police cars and Police officers! In this incident the Perp was a left Wing African American!

I stand corrected. The guys from Hemet who were busted for carrying 114 lbs. of cocaine were sentenced recently, but not caught recently. Link here: http://www.kansascity.com/2010/04/19/1888048/california-men-found-with-114.html

*Quote*

Hemet police Capt. Dave Brown said some of the 23 people arrested have gang affiliations. But citing the ongoing investigation, he declined to specify whether the suspects were involved with street gangs, prison gangs, motorcycle gangs or white supremacists groups.

A law enforcement source familiar with the probe said task force members believe that the attacks — including booby traps set up at police facilities and the torching of several city vehicles — appear to be the work of a white supremacist gang.

Correct....

Family used to have vacation home up in Idyllwild....

I hiked up there a few times....

Took the Palm Springs tram up and hiked back to Idyllwild...couple times. One was a great hike..with my older daughter..when she was around 9-10 yrs old..and a neighbor kid..a couple years older..and two guys I worked with. It was a great trip...spent two nights..,went to the top of San Jacinto Mtn. and hiked down to Idyllwild.

The kids still talk about it...That had to be like 94-95....I think.

What’s up with Hemet?

Twenty or thirty years ago, it was a nice mountainous retreat area from Los Angeles. In the past decade, it's become a haven for quirkiness in general, but with tons of bikers and pot growers, etc.

Down here in lower R’side county, we call the oldsters “Q-Tips”.....’cause that’s what they look like when that’s all you can see if you’re behind them as they creep along Highway 111 through the Coachella Valley.

Nope—a lot of these guys they’re taking down are associated with a biker gang known as the Vagos—they ARE white supremacists.

Then why are they partially Hispanic? The other day, the supremacists and Hispanics were fighting each other over deportation.
Strange bed fellows indeed.
