One of our own gone bad

KDØKZX:

Caught with his hand in the cookie jar (http://denver.cbslocal.com/2014/02/20/violent-sexual-predator-sought-by-authorities/)

[KC2UGV]

Guns? Check.
GOP'er? Check.
Whackerized Vehicle? Check.
Wanted for violent crime? Check.

Was he a virulent QRZ poster?

[WØTKX]

Local, never heard him on the air, and I do use the repeaters on my daily commute.

However, the vehicle sounds familiar, I tend to notice 'em with call letter plates.

[W3WN]

When I first moved to the Pittsburgh area, I became friends with one of the local DX'ers. He had a 2x3, last letter R, so he was known as the "something something Rabbit". He was always inviting me along on his various Caribbean trips, usually to the Caymans. I never went; I never had the shekels to go.

He had a young protégée, neighborhood kid who was also a ham, around 14 or 15. Never thought twice about it.

Many years later, I heard that he'd been busted for child porn and related charges. Also allegations of sexual abuse involving the protégé.

He was very quickly known as the "something something Rodent" from that point on.

At the time of the charges, he was engaged to a very nice lady, who was also a pediatrician. Shortly after the charges were filed, the engagement ended.

The induhvidual (I am deliberately not naming him for obvious reasons), I understand, was convicted, went to jail, had his car confiscated, paid a heavy fine... the usual. At the time, there was no requirement to register (this was before Megan's Law), so he served his time, and then came back to the area.

Last I heard of him, he'd changed calls to a 2x1. It's long since expired. As far as I know, it's still unassigned.

[W7XF]

Surprised he slipped by Uncle Riley on his watch since he made a point of revoking chomo's tickets.

[n6hcm]

someone usually has to tell the FCC about someone--they don't seem to run routine checks.

[kb2vxa]

DAYUM! You never know what lives next door until the SWAT team shows up.

[AC8KF WALT]

working a state prison for 20 years...never ran into a ham inmate but, plenty of church and mason types.

[kb2vxa]

I'm not surprised with church types, but Masons would be there fixing masonry, not locked up. Considering their core philosophy THAT is a surprise.

A thought just crossed my mind, if "our boy" has ham plates he should be that much easier to spot. Unless he wants to get busted he'd get another vehicle with ordinary registration under an alias right quick.

Notice to Administration:
I'd ban him immediately so he can't read any of this, that is if it wasn't done already.

And I'm sure his main focus is what is being said on here.

[kb2vxa]

Yeah, on second thought he is probably way ahead of us and went undercover already. No matter, time wounds all heels.

He's probably casing bowling alleys to find an off duty cops truck to break in to.

A guy with a technician class ticket and a ham plate on his jacked-up Jeep? Yeah, there's a good chance he's a whacker and we all know how much whackers like cop gear.

[X-Rated]

Never trust a 2x3, Ø lander from Douglas County. Oh wait. I was a 2x3 Ø lander from Douglas County.

Never mind.

[kb2vxa]

"Yeah, there's a good chance he's a whacker and we all know how much whackers like cop gear."

Well then, take a tip from Bait Car. Set up a whackermobile with the usual remote control "accessories", the keys in it and the engine running. Be sure to have cameras running when the po po nabs him so we can be in on all the silly excuses.

But that's not miiiIIIiiine!
We know, it's ours... SUCKA. Yose BUSSS-ted!
WWWAAAaaa...... MOMMM-MMMEEE! Boo hoo hoo... sniff... WWWAAA!

I think I am missing the punch line on this one ..lol..

Having been a Mason for longer than I have been involved in amateur radio, I can tell you that Masons are men just like any other men in society. One of the mottos of Freemasonry is that we take good men and make them better. Unfortunately, we can not take bad men and make them into good men.
