Just What Kind of Terrorist Attack Has Been Allowed Here?
Read this entire page. It contains information concerning crimes committed and that could get you or I the death penalty! But, for some strange reason, in Shamrock, Texas, these things are apparently "OK" (if you're the "right" kind of person).
Note: (This information was originally added on Wednesday, September 11th, 2002. Since that time (October 3, 2002) a local court has issued an order that we not speak "in a derogatory manner" against the group involved in the planning and commission of these felonies. Therefore, we will be unable to provide any useful updates until a later date. However, upon the release of this court order, we will immediately issue the completed version of the truth in this story. If for no other reason than simply because their attorney so adamantly wishes to see this truth suppressed - as he has so adequately demonstrated on several occasions by demanding that we remove the audio recording of the actual commission of these crimes that are not even hosted on our web site. We respect the wishes of the local court and will abide by this temporary order. However, upon completion of this case, we reserve our constitutional right, in fact our obligation, to present the truthful version of these heinous terrorist acts committed against our radio station and will present the entire story, here. As it is, the most damning evidence to be found is the recordings of the actual failed "attempted theft" of the entire station in their own voices. Therefore, it's not as if we're actually presenting it. These folks make a very strong case against themselves in their own voices. Their attorney - who openly admits to leading this illegal conspiracy - is equally as adept at making just such a strong case against himself, as well. His continued whining about this information continuing to be available to the public should serve as an adequate statement about the criminal minded manner in which these acts were deliberately and maliciously plotted by these "wonderful people" who are more than eager, in my opinion - if I'm still allowed the constitutional rights of having an opinion and expressing it - to greet anyone desiring to operate a legitimate business in this town and who happens to be just fortunate enough to have not become "one of them".)
If it's any consolation and as a direct indication of their desire to behave in a legal fashion, Shamrock EDC has not yet begun to abide by the demands of the October 3, 2002, court order.
Baby Huey Tries To Steal A Radio Station.
Now, the full story just as it appeared on Wednesday, September 11th, 2002...
If you're one of the many "regulars" who had spent a great deal of time getting to know us, either through our web site or our actual on-air signal, you've probably noticed that our world-wide presence has been almost non-existent for the past few months. Well, that portion of our ordeal is now over. Here is how it all came about, originally:
For some time, after arriving here, we kept receiving strange "warnings" from area residents (who would normally stand to gain absolutely nothing by issuing such warnings) that Shamrock Economic Development Corporation was preparing to "use" us as a means of supplying valuable equipment and labor for keeping (then) KRMN-FM on the air while seeking another cash buyer that would bail them out of a bad loan situation that they never were supposed to have gotten themselves in to begin with.
According to these "tipsters", Shamrock EDC would use us to replenish supplies and equipment involved in operating the station and, upon finding an "acceptable buyer" (you can read this as "friend of EDC"), forcibly chase us out of the building while illegally retaining possession of our equipment and anything else they wanted to keep.
I, personally, sat through several months of "showings" in which David Rushing would escort "potential buyers" through the building and give a great sales pitch during the "tour". Not once did I ever hear any mention of the fact that the equipment in the building was owned by myself or my business. It was always presented as, "And, look at all of this great equipment that you'll get with this station! The equipment alone is worth more than the pay-off on the loan! And, it'll all be yours!"
The final straw was a meeting that I had with both David Rushing and a person whom I had never met. The man's name was John Mann. David Rushing had already told me that he was "the man we use when we really want to take something from somebody whether it's ours to do so or not. John can get anything from anybody and he doesn't care how he does it because he knows the law and knows how to get around it when it helps us. Besides, we pay him with taxpayer money and he knows that will never run out." John Mann confirmed each of these claims at that meeting and seemed to rather enjoy gloating about the manner in which both he and David had "tapped into taxpayer money that won't ever run out so, it's just not worth fighting Shamrock EDC".
Well, after about 30 minutes of John Mann's haranguing me and ordering me, several times, to simply give EDC the station license, I had already decided that the "tipsters" who were warning about just such behavior must be right! John Mann leaves absolutely no room for honesty and has no regard at all for "right" or "wrong". Unfortunately for himself and his clients (in this instance), he had no idea what he was talking about...
I listened to David and John try to convince me that I "really don't want to own that radio station" and how I'd be much better off if I'd "sign over the license to EDC" so they could "locate a buyer that might let you (meaning me) stay on as an employee". They went on to explain that they had a friend who had worked at Shamrock's old KBYP-AM and that the man wanted to move back into the area and purchase the station and that he would be a better owner and they would prefer to see this happen because he was an "old friend" and that there would be no room for debate on this decision. (This would've made sense, had the foreclosure on the real property been anywhere near completion and/or the real property associated with the station being put up for bids. But, this was not to be the case. Their friend wants it and that's the way it shall be. Case closed!) Before this meeting concluded, I was "invited" (ordered) to attend an "emergency meeting" of the EDC that was called for a day or two later.
Surprisingly enough, at about this time, someone elected to steal almost 100% of our backup transmission system. At the time, this seemed to be an unrelated matter but, e-mailed messages from this person and an alarming tendency for EDC to insist that "He really says he didn't steal anything and has receipts for everything he took" (even though we still have the real receipts and, through our receipts, the equipment can be traced back to the manufacturer) are now indicating that there may have been a certain amount of "conspiratorial coordination" of these crimes between himself and at least one EDC board member.
I was not allowed into the "emergency meeting" until some 10 minutes after it was called to order (actually, I was asked to leave and to "come back in about 10 minutes because there's something we have to do before we can let you in") and, when I was finally allowed into the meeting room, the only resulting discussion centered on how certain John Mann was that our FCC transfer of control "just won't fly". I was also suddenly finding myself treated in a much more "demeaning" and "condescending" manner than I had ever been treated in Shamrock in the past. Suddenly, in the eye of these "fine folks", I had become what they refer to as a "low-life" just like everyone else who wasn't actually a part of there little "circle of power" and was finding out exactly what it's like to have been found guilty of thinking about the good of the community before thinking about lining their pockets and this just won't be acceptable behavior!!!
I reminded these fine folks that fully 95% of the equipment (including the current transmitter) responsible for keeping KBKH-FM on the air is 100% owned by MonsterFM.com/Broadcast Services and that no actual party to KBKH-FM (previous ownership and/or lien holders) has any claim to this equipment in any way, shape or form. Their portion of the "station" (as it existed at that time and as they held a lien to it) existed primarily as a large building (nice as it was) and two old personal computers (200 MHz. Pentiums without anything more special than a SoundBlaster 16 and a 4 gigabyte hard drive) and several desks!
I was excused to go and "handle station business" and was ordered to provide some very detailed "financial reports" and "financial projections".
So, we set about moving vital systems to our home on Texas Street and erected a temporary antenna system at that address. We filed for an emergency STA (Special Temporary Authority) with the FCC and the entire operation was moved within just a few days time. We were so very careful to not even remove an ink pen that belonged in the old building. In fact, we left a great deal of equipment in the building that was mostly unrelated to the operation of the station and could not have possibly been their property before we arrived and brought in our equipment. We also left a great deal of our personal belongings and children's belongings behind just to see if these "fine folks" actually would stoop to a level at which they would attempt the outright theft that we were warned of. Now, we will eventually get to sit back and see how they claim exclusively AM equipment was used in the operation of an FM station! (As those who are "technically inclined" will be able to attest, it can't be used in that manner!)
This left us sitting in the old building at 201 North Main Street just waiting to either prove or disprove our theory. (OK, so I'm a person who just can't seem to believe a person is capable of such heinous acts and such a callous attitude. I simply must actually see such cowardly behavior before I can condemn a person for behaving in such a brazenly stupid manner.) We sat there for almost a week waiting to see what would happen and, just as promised and predicted, Shamrock EDC didn't fail to provide the entertainment.
Just as predicted, on July 29th, shortly after noon, David Rushing (EDC Director), Jerry Bob Jernigan (County Constable) and Tom Velasquez (local "Pretty Boy" grocery store owner - for lack of a better description) burst in, unannounced and without any small, polite form of entry. They were there and they wanted it known that they were in charge!
David Rushing flashed a piece of paper (he referred to it as a "Texas 15 Minute Eviction") that had been signed by himself and notarized by someone that I assumed to be his secretary. There was no judge's signature or other "official" documentation present.
Jerry Bob Jernigan's first announcement was that, "Ya'll got just a few minutes ta git ya personal stuff and git out! If ya touch any 'quipment that's got anything ta do with the operation of the station, ya gonna git hurt and I sure would hate ta see them little girls git hurt over this here 'quipment!" (This probably would've seemed like a joke, had he not constantly kept his hand on his gun...)
We were forced to place most of our belongings in trash bags and place the bags in the center of the kitchen/dining area. Of these trash bags, we were allowed to remove a small percentage that contained anything that did not look remotely like it might've been electronic in nature.
All the while, Jerry Bob Jernigan kept his hand always near that firearm that he's so proud to hide behind and kept the constant rant up about how he "is the LAW around here and anything I tell any judge will be believed over anything y'all tell him" as a constant threat to keep us whipped into pitiful submission. (Of course, we didn't tell them that they were busily stealing property that had absolutely nothing to do with the operation of our station - it had been legally ours to operate as we saw fit since I arrived, in February but, under the hopes of making an equitable purchase agreement with EDC, I knew that they'd never deal with me if they knew I already had control of the license).
After a great deal of our remaining property was placed in trash bags and piled up in the middle of the floor, Police Chief Joe Daniels was called in to photograph "the mess" that was left behind. Toby Brooks followed up with the now (in)famous pictures that (dis)graced the back of his little newspaper about a week later.
I did manage to get the audio and video (not yet approved for release by our attorney) recordings made by the internal security system by removing the entire recorder! This was the only way to get the evidence of what these (in my opinion) idiots had done because they were showing absolutely no regard for property laws or any other kind of law! In fact, our children were becoming more and more a concern to us because they kept asking, "Is that bad man with a gun going to kill us?" And, sadly enough, Jerry Bob Jernigan's attitude and behavior, at that particular time, did indeed indicate that he was enjoying himself immensely and would probably have liked nothing better! (David and Jerry Bob insisted that the security system MUST have been there before I arrived but, I knew that I had purchased it just three weeks earlier and, even better, had purchased it with a credit card so that there definitely is proof of these facts. I'd better be glad, too! Despite both my locating and producing credit card receipts proving my ownership and an October 3rd court order for the return of our properties, this security system is still being illegally held by these "fine folks" even to this day!)
Now,
keep in mind the fact that I had just removed the recordings of what was
going on and the fact that everything relating to the actual operation of
the radio station (that was clearly owned by us) had been removed almost a
week earlier. What did David Rushing, Jerry Bob Jernigan and Tom Velasquez
accomplish by so brazenly stealing (and gloating about doing so, the
entire time) the remaining property that was not in any way related to the
operation of the radio station? They proved (to us, anyway) that they have
absolutely no regard for the health, happiness and/or property rights of
others. I have absolutely no doubts in my mind that, if they had thought
it would "support their cause", they would've wounded or even
killed either myself, my wife or either of our two little girls. Of this
fact, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind, at all.
Care to comment? You can, on our "Talk To Us" page.
These "fine folks" had proven themselves to be just as criminal in nature as we had been told and then some. They had proven that, aside from their own concerns, the welfare of others meant very little, if anything at all, to them. We all knew this as we drove away.
