Politically Motivated Killer Posts Confession on Web
Andrew McCrae, who allegedly ambushed, shot and killed a Red Bluff, California police officer as he was gassing his police car, is fighting extradition from New Hampshire where he was arrested. What makes this case especially unusual is that Mr. McCrae allegedly confessed on the Internet at SF Indy.Org. "McCrae was captured in New Hampshire a day after announcing on a left wing web site that he shot the officer to send a message to global corporate interests. McCrae is facing the death penalty in California."
In a post called Proud and Insolent Youth Incorporated at SF Indymedia, Andrew writes:
"Hello Everyone, my name's Andy. 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. Now I'm coming forward, to explain that this killing was also an action against corporate irresponsibility."
He goes on and on, as do the comments to his post. Thanks to the police blog The Guardroom for alerting us to this case.
