WHITE RACIST JAILED FOR POSTING COP HOME ADDRESSES TO HER BLOG
Elisha Sftrohm is a white supremacist who for some reason decided to start copwatching the Jefferson Area Drug Task Force in Virginia. I don’t know why a white racist would do copwatch against the drug cops(a nazi/meth connection maybe?) , but the brutality of the drug cops does in fact need exposure.
http://iheartejade.blogspot.com/ is the blog the pigs decided to go crazy over
Elisha Strohm’s last post to this blog was reported by the Washington Post as being “uh-oh they’re here.”
Her house was raided by the pigs, cameras, computers, and other equipment hauled away-and she was arrested, all this after she posted the name and address online of one of the drug task force’s cops,along with a picture of his house.
All the information in the blog was from public records-with the photo of the house coming from “municipal records” according to the Washington Post.
She was never harassed for things like advocating white separatism, but copwatching has gotten her held on $750 bail which she cannot pay.
This time, it’s a white racist in jail learning to live in close quarters with people of color-but last time something like this happened in Virginia the targets were animal rights activists.
Next time around, the targets of this sort of thing could be, say, African-American residents posting photos of illegal police checkpoints in front of their own homes!

Animal activists check HLS homes for shoveled sidewalks
Friday , Feb 12 at about 6PM, animal rights activists dropped by the home of Jennifer Luray at 3554 Appleton St NW to see if she, her security guards, or her protester-choking husband Steve Goodman had shoveled their sidewalk.
DC does have a law that requires people to shovel their sidewalks within the first 8 hours of daylight after the snow stops falling. Enforcing this sort of law after back-to-back blizzards may seem crazy, but so are the mask and home demo laws Steve Goodman was pushing before the DC Council so recently. Steve Goodman was shown in this video accusing peaceful legal protesters of being “domestic terrorists.” Well, if public protests are going to be subject to police harassment or legal prohibition, other means must be found. One of these is inspection of the beneficiaries of such laws to see if they are scofflaws themselves.
At 6PM Friday, Ms Luray’s sidewalk appeared to be shoveled from the street, based on the visibility from a passing car of a path from the front door that terminated short of the street. People were digging out in front of other homes-and a police SUV was parked halfway up the block. Scouts were disinclined to stop the car blocking Appleton St’s one cleared lane to get out for a closer look, but this home appears to be in compliance as of 6 PM Friday. It is unknown if this was the case by 3PM Thursday, when the deadline came into effect.
Teams are currently checking the homes of all known executives of corporations with a business relationship with Huntingdon Life Sciences or it’s primary customers. Huntingdon Life Sciences or HLS is a contract animal testing laboratory. At least 500 animals, the famous beagle puppies included, are tortured to death there every day.
Jennifer Luray is a senior executive of the Campaign for Public Health,a so-called “non-profit” funded by HLS customers Abbott Labs, Battelle, GlaxoSmithKline, and also by the March of Dimes.
Previously Ms Luray was head of government relations for Abbott Labs,one of the above-mentioned HLS customers.Now she works for THREE of them!
