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.

oops. damn HTML hiccup. (groan)
Anyone know where Bill Ayers has been recently?
I think its being totally blown out of proportion.
They are all getting wee wee’d up about small pranks, of course they could have been deadly pranks but compared to the modern day terrorists these are just childish pranks.
Yeah, I know. Just cause there’s a huge ad at the top of the thread. Gee I don’t know what made me ask that.
I see. Thanx.
I dunno. Is he?
I see. Yeah, he’s nothing to be proud of. I can’t stand mccain. He votes with the enemy more than he votes with us. Of course now he is running to the right, but if he wins again he will scoot right back under the left’s table begging for the scraps.
Too bad that a good conservative can’t get in. The big media is too powerful. Good candidates get smeared and starved out while the set ups are put front and center. Seems that the dems pick their guys and they pick our guys too. I don’t see how their propaganda machine can be overcome.
BTW, thanx for your civility.
Yeah. I suppose at least, with a dem, you know what you’re getting up front. Better a straight fight with a known enemy than a stab in the back from a traitor.
Thanx. I’m a big fan of yours too.
Thanx. Romney is not my cup of tea either. I once would have said that I’d rather have him as POTUS rather than obama, but it may turn out that obama severely cripples his own party far more than any of the current crop of pubs ever could. Be great if it works out that way.
I see. Thanx.
A lot of FReepers argued for McCain's candidacy. "The Media love him; they call him 'Maverick' McCain!"
Like you said WE ALLOWED the media to pick our candidate. The moment he was locked in, they turned on him just like many of us expected.
A lot of the blame belongs to the GOP. They should have picked a solid, electable REAL conservative and worked around the eneMedia. They might have ran a nation wide bill board campaign along directing voters to websites where media smears and lies could be debunked.
Why should we rely on our enemies to promote our candidates? We've got to change strategies!
“Quite obnoxious in your posts and quite the victim when others hand it back to you.”
Ya know, I just went through every one of my posts and found exactly 1 (one) post where I attacked someone first, and actually, I attacked a lifestyle choice, NOT anyone personally.
Now, there are MANY posts where I struck back at idiots who obviously have nothing better to do than start fights without cause, but NONE where I attacked them first.
Not one.
In fact, my 1 (one) “obnoxious post”, if you can call it that, was ABOUT, not TO, a woman who was denied enlisting in the service because of tattooes. I said:
“Never understood the purpose of getting a tattoo. If you want one, that’s your business, but IMO, it is stupid and pointless. Kinda like starting smoking or joining a gang. Why? To what benefit?”
I can see how someone with tats wouldn’t like that, but as I told the guy who jumped me for what I clearly said was just an opinion: That is just my opinion.
I will always hit someone back for attacking me first. If that offends you, I don’t know what to tell you.
What you can tell ME however, are the precise “obnoxious postS” where I started a fight with someone and they “handed it back to me”.
Now remember... no retaliatory posts, just the ones where I stuck my snout in and attacked someone FIRST, out-of-the-blue, without provocation.
Good Luck, because you won’t find any. You WILL find however, posts where the vice-versa applies.
The traps have targeted the gang enforcement detail. I have heard to three and all have failed.
Boy, I don’t know. I liked Thompson, but I fear he is not only unelectable but maybe more of the same. I like Palin, but am a bit leery of her thin resume. I’m liking Jindal. I wish Paul weren’t so... easily painted as a kook.
There’s a guy who has been on Mark Levin’s show a few times really taking the fight to em on this HC nightmare. Can’t remember his name right now, though.
I don’t think there is a perfect one. I’m just kinda waiting to see who rises to the top as the year shakes out. Phonies are everywhere and I’m a little leery of everyone just now. Guess time will solve the mystery.
Do you know any good prospects?
Hmm. I would prefer a military leader. Servicemen tend to have character, toughness, a sense of strategy, love of Country, and can fight if need be.
Interesting. I’ll check him out. Thanx!
