Far-Right Extremists Are Using Personal Radios to Plan Violence

[Swede]

Well hopefully someone in law enforcement is monitoring this stuff.

1. No doubt they are being listened to. Some are smart about it, but most are really stupid

2. Time to dust off my Radio Shack scanner...

Damn, I am becoming my uncle.

6. :) Plus your favorite SW radio app your uncle never heard of.

3. If there's ever anything near me, I guess I'll put that in my scanner

I did get a little laugh at the part about the warning against 'committing crimes' on airwaves, and their genius idea to use code words like "tools" or "boxes of candy" to refer to guns and ammo.

Maybe they're just not old enough to remember the late 70's, when we'd get on our CB radios and let each other know about the "bear in the air", the "city kitty taking pictures", the "county mountie", the "plain white wrapper" and the "kodiak with a kodak".

4. That's a big 10-4, good buddy.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be sandbagging on the down low.

5. I've been a "Ham" for over 40 years...

there are a shit ton of amateurs who have hard right leanings and many aren't shy about letting it be known on the air.

7. Hmmm. Lucky you. That would make it hard to monitor. I remember an FBI

profiler explaining that by far most of the many people who fit violent offender profiles never act. We're not talking personal violence here, though, so perhaps more SW extremists might get themselves involved in something they shouldn't be.
