On July 6, a Michigan radio amateur by the name of Scott Woodring
(KC8JNG)
shot and killed a Michigan State Police Officer during a routine arrest
on
a warrant for solicitation of a minor, resulting in a tense standoff with
law
enforcement. Mr. Woodring was a member of the Christian Identity
movement,
an organization that promotes racist and antisemetic views along with an
anti-government agenda.

Oh I get it! He was likely one of these right wing
goofball fruitcakes we've probably heard on one of the
several 75 meter "pay-triot" nets over the past years?

On Monday, July 7, after a standoff that had continued from the previous
day, Mr. Woodring escaped during a law enforcement shift change,
resulting
in a nearly week-long manhunt for the suspect throughout Western
Michigan.

Shortly after the escape of Mr. Woodring, James Wades (WB8SIW), the
Michigan Section Emergency Coordinator / State RACES Officer requested
that the
Newaygo County Emergency Coordinator establish an intercept operation in
the area of Fremont to identify any possible transmissions from the
suspect.
This request was based on the fact that Mr. Woodring had utilized
Amateur
Radio frequencies and equipment to communicate with fellow members of
the
Christian Identity movement. Mr. Woodring was also known to have
recruited
a number of like-minded individuals into the Amateur Radio Service and
may
have purchased two-meter FM transceivers for use by fellow members of
his
organization.

....no doubt another one of Mike Koernkie's Militialoons Radio Corps
members. Or perhaps a devotee of Steve "bipolar disorder" Andersen
the ex-AA8DP who used to hang out on 3.860 at 8:00 PM years ago?

Operators were asked to monitor seldom used frequencies both within and
adjacent to the VHF Amateur Radio allocations. An additional
announcement
was broadcast to Emergency Coordinators and selected RACES personnel
throughout Michigan requesting information on any transmission heard
from
Mr. Woodring.

On Friday, July 11 at 5:18 PM, Mr. Bill Hubbard (WD8MKG) of Holton,
Michigan reported an intercept of communications between Mr. Woodring and
another
radio amateur located in Fremont, Michigan. This was promptly reported
to
the SEC shortly thereafter. This information was transmitted verbally
to
Michigan State Police Operations Desk at 5:39 PM. A follow-up facsimile
was transmitted to MSP Operations from the West Branch MSP Post at
approximately 6:20 PM.

MSP Investigators subsequently requested assistance from the Department
of
Defense and Federal Communications Commission in order to establish
radio
direction finding capabilities. When help was not forthcoming, a call
was
placed to the SEC requesting these capabilities through the Amateur
Radio
Service.

A radio direction finding team was dispatched from Kent County RACES,
arriving at the MSP command post shortly thereafter. This team was
placed
under the supervision of the District 6 Emergency Coordinator, Mr. Tom
Vandermel (KB8VEE). Subsequent assistance was obtained from RACES
members
in Ottawa and Muskegon Counties.

In addition to those resources in the immediate area, a team from
Kalamazoo
County RACES was placed on standby along with a Civil Air Patrol team
from
the Mt. Clemens area. These later teams were not utilized due to the
distances involved and the fact that adequate staff was available in
nearby
Counties.

The radio direction finding activities continued until approximately 5
AM
on
Sunday, July 13 when Mr. Woodring was located based on a tip from a
local
resident. He was subsequently shot to death when he leveled an assault
rifle at officers and refused to comply with directives.

RACES members provided 494 staff-hours to the operation, most of which
were
contributed during the 36-hour period when radio direction finding
activites
were being conducted. Michigan State Police officials expressed genuine
appreciation for the efforts of the Amateur Radio teams. Considerable
positive feedback has been received from a variety of senior officers
who
now have an "expanded" view of Amateur Radio capabilities.

That mundane fact has not stopped MANY
other non-HF licenced individuals from
checking into a "pay-triot" net on weeknights
at 8:00 PM. These people feel their above the law you see.

Let's not also forget the guy using the bootleg
callsign of "kb8biw" that has been checking into
a well-known net for going on for 11 months.

Do a qrz.com search and tell me what you find
on that call...

Makes you wonder what the FCC is doing in
lieu if these (seditious individuals) operation on 75M.

George Bubya Bush & Co are also Chritian Identity. They have promoted anti-
-semitic views by supporting zionists (most of whom are not semites, and
none of whom are Jews) that are antagonistic to Samaritan, Christian, Muslim
& even Satanist or atheist people of Palestine, and true Jews elsewhe

Bubya believes himself to be a blue-blood for much the same reasons as
Christian Identity distinguish themselves.

And as the Bush cabinet are opposed to the U.N.O. and operate in violation
its resolutions, they rightly deserve to be called anti-gov't as long as
they don't have enough integrity to w/draw from the U.N.O. and unratify all
related treaty obligations.

That's why you're called the "lower" 48. Unfortunately, foreign stations
now play soundbites of your goofballs, even when not broadcasting
in English.
