Suspect in Red Bluff police officer slaying apprehended

- (Published November 26, 2002)

[Updated 10:05 a.m. Nov. 26] CONCORD, N.H. — A 23-year-old man opposed to "police-state tactics" was captured in a hotel Tuesday as people in California flocked to a memorial service for a police officer he apparently admitted killing.

Andrew Hampton McCrae, 23, of Olympia, Wash., surrendered without incident at about 10 a.m. EST after a standoff at the Holiday Inn, police said.

Investigators will have to prove the man they arrested is the same Andrew McCrae who admitting on the Web to killing the officer, but police indicated they believe he is. A fugitive warrant from California named McCrae, and Concord Police Chief Jerry Madden referred reporters to the Web site when asked who he was.

The FBI tipped police at 2:19 a.m. that McCrae was staying in a fourth-floor room at the hotel.

A police tactical team arrived at the hotel, a block from the Statehouse, at 6 a.m. and the fourth floor of the hotel was evacuated, police said. FBI negotiators talked with McCrae by phone and tried to persuade him to surrender.

Red Bluff police officer David Mobilio, 31, was shot once in the head on Nov. 19 as he was refueling his cruiser. A man identifying himself as Andrew McCrae claimed responsibility in a posting Monday to a Web site for San Francisco news, www.sf.indymedia.org.

"Hello everyone, my name's Andy," he said in one of two letters. "I killed a police officer in Red Bluff, California, in a motion to bring attention to, and halt, the police-state tactics that have come to be used throughout our country."

The writer said the killing also was "an action against corporate irresponsibility," which he blamed for "all of the major problems in America and throughout the world today."

As many as 5,000 people were expected at Mobilio's memorial service Tuesday in Red Bluff, a city of 13,500. He was the first Red Bluff officer ever killed in the line of duty.

In one of the Internet postings, McCrae claimed he is immune from prosecution because he incorporated himself. Corporate officers are shielded from personal liability for a corporation's debts.

McCrae said the name for his corporation, "Proud and Insolent Youth," was taken from Peter Pan, a famous children's story about a band of children vanquishing the evil pirate, Captain Hook.

"Peter Pan hates pirates and I hate pirates, and corporations are nothing but a bunch of pirates," McCrae wrote. "It's time to send them to a watery grave and rip them completely out of our lives."

"The very concept behind corporations is to protect their owners from taking responsibility for their actions," he said elsewhere. "This means that directors within corporations can dump waste chemicals in our drinking water, or keep our work environments in fatally dangerous conditions, without any personal liability."

He claimed corporations "murder" thousands of people each year.

The incorporation papers, filed in Concord on Nov. 7, list addresses in Loudon, N.H., and Olympia, Wash. The contact phone number listed for McCrae in Olympia did not answer Tuesday morning.

Here's a link to the perp's long letter:

Letter by killer

Compare to that letter by the Smiley Face kid ... similar, but less spirituality.

This one reads like a third rate lefty academic analysis.

Besides the routine slogans, also claims he was in special forces, etc., etc.

Liberal pundits constantly say that capitalism and the corporation are destroying the earth. Should these commentators take responsibility for the people who listen to them and feel moved to take action as a result?

Another anti-statist speaks, and acts. Will there be a legal defense fund established for the, er, 'freedom fighter'?

Stunning.

Poor Andy swallowed it all, hook, line and sinker.

And, yes, the Democrats deserve part of the blame for this. The Democrat leadership has willfully attempted to "incite the masses" with respect to the Florida election. The Demos have literally been asking for some whack-job to lash out at the institutions they have been in the process of debasing.

Frankly, I'm surprised at how few have taken the bait. Says a lot of the state of the national mind.

[Mister Bush,] Please set in place a democratic, beneficial election system and step down from the Presidency. Al Gore, who was popularly elected through this flawed system, shall serve as the temporary President until a True Representative of the People is determined.

Do you think it will make the wires that this wackjob is an Algore fan?

I, myself, am an Army veteran, not so well-decorated as the Gentlemen I mention. Nevertheless, I am a graduate of the U.S. Army Ranger School, Airborne School, and Jungle Operations Training School.

They might have the wrong guy in custody or he's a liar.

Stop pinging me. I have no interest in your fanatical name calling and lies. If you do so again, I'll add stalking to the charges.

Anyone who brags about this is a liar, esp. with the multitude of creds. 99% for sure if they wear greens with a "Ranger" badge in your local pub, etc.

No.

I didn't read that he was a Goron; since he said in the preceding sentence:

Since Gore was only a handful of votes away from continuing the Clintonian era, one can infer from his words that the murderer would have supported third party losers.

"Peter Pan hates pirates and I hate pirates, and corporations are nothing but a bunch of pirates," McCrae wrote. "It's time to send them to a watery grave and rip them completely out of our lives."

This guy's manifesto is going to make great reading. He sounds like Demidog's friend from Merlin...Oregon. Michael Sieradzki. These kooks are getting dangerous.

"In the beginning priests, bankers, corporations and special interests went into court to fight over their money. Now the judicial system has become a money grubbing industry to rob the people at taxpayer expense." --Michael Sieradzki

Here is the pre Y2K screed from the lunatics in Merlin and Grants Pass.

Excerpt:The coming economic collapse

by Paul Walter and editor Michael Sieradzki

The greatest financial rip-off in recorded history is now underway. This scheme makes the recent $80 Billion Savings & Loan robbery [*] seem like a dip into mama's cookie jar. In fact, the magnitude of the shift in assets from you to the powerful few will dwarf the 1929 stock market and depression era crash. The foundation of this scheme rests on the corruption of our judicial system, our politician's dependence on money and media to get elected, and the public addiction to debt, handouts and the illusion of wealth based on hyper-inflated stock and bond markets.

You will know this Great Heist is at hand when the controlled mass media blasts your heart with fear-inducing stories on TV, radio and in news print using words like "chaos", "panic" and "sell everything"! If you plan to act then, it will be too late. All your assets, bank accounts and income sources will evaporate in a flood of pain.

Right now, while you sleep, the powerful few who heartlessly lead you to this disaster, are busy at work protecting their assets and making themselves immune from any retribution by an outraged public. Let's examine the hypocrisy and deceit surrounding the contrived Y2K computer problem.[*]

Note how the media, institutions and corporations say there is no real problem, while on the other hand, politicians, lawyers and crafty judges are silently passing laws to protect themselves and their cohorts in the powerful corporations against loss and law suits resulting from Y2K-related problems and complications [*]. You, on the other hand, will be totally helpless should you suffer a serious loss.

The cruelty of this massive and contrived deception is that the Y2K laws now on the books protect the powerful few against citizens seeking redress of grievance against those benefiting from and responsible for the financial theft. The financial collapse which would have occurred with or without Y2K will be masked as a Y2K issue and those responsible for the disaster will hide behind newly passed legal immunity. The banks, corporations, insurance companies, utilities, etc., will invoke the law to protect their assets while the people are stripped naked.
End excerpt.
Insanity continued in cyberspace.....

They've got the wrong guy.

Everybody knows that only right-wing extremist white supremacist militia cigarette smoking non-license plate using unaleinable freemen do things like this.
