organized stalking overview - Freedom From Covert Harassment ...

MOTIVES:David Lawson's book "Terrorist Stalking in America" reports that many stalking group members have low selfesteemproblems. Even though some stalking groups use some sort of social or political "cause" to bringmembers together, the main motivation is the respect of the other group members. David Lawson states that the"cause" is often a secondary issue that doesn't get much day-to-day attention. By having city workers in thegroups, group members get a false sense they are doing really good and important work.QUOTES:Here are some quotes from the group members themselves, as reported to researcher David Lawson: "We are acitizen's group that helps the police. We are trying to alert people in the area about this person [the target] beforehe gets to do what he did in the last place he lived." [Eleanor White talking: The cause stalking targets I know didnot commit ANY offenses.] "Who are we? We drive the ambulances that take you to the emergency room. Whenyour house is burning, we put out the fire. We are security guards. We protect you at night. YOU ONLY HAVEELECTRICITY, PHONE AND CABLE SERVICE BECAUSE OF US. We are janitors. We have the KEYS. YOUDON'T WANT TO MESS WITH US.ORGANIZED STALKING AND THE POLICEHere are some quotes from "Terrorist Stalking in America" from police officers interviewed by author DavidLawson: "I also spoke with police officers from across the country. They confirmed the existence of stalkinggroups across the country. In general, they said that 'cause stalking' is primarily a civil problem where the plaintiffhas to prove financial loss. They also said that there are free speech and grass roots issues involved. In fact, thepolice themselves are targets of these groups. In small towns, the number of members in these groups caneasily exceed the number of police officers. In general, the police will NOT talk about stalking groups. One officerdid say there is a storm brewing as groups become larger and more numerous." So the police provide COVERfor the groups by saying their destruction of lives is simply a free speech issue.Eleanor White, retired electrical engineerwww.multistalkervictims.org
