Two Men Arrested Near Folsom Dam, FBI Has Been Notified Posted: 10:40 p.m. PDT October 11, 2001
FOLSOM, Calif. -- The FBI has been notified of the arrests of two men at Folsom Dam.
The men were arrested about 11 p.m. Wednesday night after they were spotted in a restricted area near the Dam.
Both men were placed in the Sacramento County jail.
It's believed that the men were illegally trying to gain access to a fishing location, but officials say that they are taking no chances in this climate of heightened security
KSFO, San Francisco, just carried this story!
If they were in Folsom Lake, and they had intended something bad, the water supply would be a potential target!
If they were below the dam, the dam itself and the hydro electric system could have been a target.
If they were illegal fishers, my bet is legal or illegals from SE Asia. These people since they came over after the fall of South Viet Nam, have been openingly violating many fish and game laws. The PC Fish and Game Managers and local judges have kept the Fish and Game Wardens from doing their jobs. The warders would arrest them for very serious violations. The left wing extremist judges and their buddies the ACLUers would get the cases thrown out of court inspite of tremendous evidence of poaching and killing fish or game out of season!
I will post a followup here to show the change in Fish and Game post 9/11!
An attack on the power grid is possible with a relative small amount of explosives.....
Most likely, illegal fishermen.....

Ex Sacramento type here. I recall people camping overnight all along the river during striper and salmon season. They wanted the best 2 square foot spot to stand in when the opening whistle blew at sunrise.
Without more information, this really isn't "unusual".
EMERYVILLE, Calif. -- Fish and Game wardens have traded in their usual waterway duties to help in the safeguarding of the state's waterways.
Wardens are joining forces with the Coast Guard.
"We're all in kind of strange times. It's a new role for us, but we're glad to participate. We want to keep these ports open and free," State Fish and Game spokesman Frank Spear said.
Wardens normally carry side arms, but now they are also carrying M-14 assault rifles on their shoulders, emphasizing that their newly expanded role is not one that is out of their league or training.
For the full story go to this link: (Cali Fish and Game Wardens now armed with M14's in new role)
They've been terrorizing up-stream property owners since the mid-1970's!!!
If they were out in a boat at night below the dam with fishing gear, that is violation of Ca. Fish and Game Laws re fishing at night on our Rivers!
Regardless, I'm very glad to see these Wardens in an expanded role. Maybe now when they arrest an illegal alien, the pc judges will follow through and the INS will step in! Most wardens that I meet in Cali are well trained and would love to do a good job if allowed to by their PC management and the left wing judges in the counties where they work and the left wing asst. DA's who put Fish and Game violations in the lowest priority!
First they came after pilots, now fishermen. Recreational boaters are next. Certainly the feds have read Hayduke Lives!, where a houseboat full of am-pho was used in an attempt to blow up Glen Canyon dam.
Psychological warfare.
Let's say you're a mullah, and you have a number of members in your congregation who are not committed enough to do actual sabotage. So you send them off to go to various locations and act suspicious. They get arrested and let go. If you're lucky, they get hassled enough in the process to radicalize them. Meanwhile, you wear out law enforcement with false alarms so that when the real thing comes, they'll be slower to respond
Exactly what I have been saying! Thanks!
They've been terrorizing up-stream property owners since the mid-1970's!!!"
Hey, good to know that you are still alive and raising heck up there. I was afraid that the terrorists had kidnapped you, and they were using you as a secret weapon!
Do you remember a post on FR, (I believe) shortly after Gore posed in a canoe and wasted several million gallons of water for that PR shot in a drought on that river. The post was an animated one where Enviral Nazis were in canoes and they came out and over a deep waterfall. There were conservatives lined up with shotguns below, saying "PULL!" like at a skeet range. Then, a bearded enviral river rat would go off the edge, flying in the air in his canoe. A conservative would shot his shotgun. The enviral and canoe broke up like a skeet getting a 90% load!
Whenever, you make one of your posts re the enviral white water scums, I think of you saying, "PULL"!
The guy reaches into his wallet and pulls out his license and shows it to the game warden. The warden then asks, "Why did you run if you have a fishing license?" The guy responds, "It's my friend. He's the one who doesn't have a license."
Please post it, and I may believe it. Who is "they"?
