Jason Paul Schaefer Snitch Investigation Findings

Rock Creek Bomber Jason Paul Schaefer has been under investigation by CopBlaster.com since August of 2018 following a pair of allegations alleging that he had snitched on an inmate in J2 at the Federal Detention Center in Sheridan, Oregon (FDC Sheridan) sometime between June and August of 2018. The investigation involved a look at the court record in his case. The results are ultimately inconclusive but highly suspicious enough to warrant a posting on this website about the allegations and suspicions pertaining to Mr. Schaefer. The first allegation made to the founder of CopBlaster.com came from a man claiming to be a member of the Gypsy Jokers Motorcycle Club during transport from the Federal Correctional Institution in Sheridan, Oregon to the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC) in Portland, Oregon. The man claimed to have been coming from J2, but I can't be sure because the FDC is across the street from the FCI and I came from the FCI SHU. When the talk turned to "Fingers" as Mr. Schaefer is known in the system, the Joker said that Fingers had been beaten up in J2 before snitching on the person that beat him up. The beating was described as a discipline and not an eviction. The difference is that an eviction involves smashing a guy off mainline, which basically means beating a guy up so that the staff takes him out of the unit and does not bring him back. A discipline on the other hand takes place behind closed doors when the guys don't want to kick a guy out of the unit but still want to correct a behavior of some sort. This Joker stated that he liked Fingers until that incident and recommended that he be placed on this website for that reason. It was a sad story to hear because I also liked Fingers, but knowing him I could see him pissing a guy off and getting beat up. It was quite disappointing to hear this allegation because Fingers is smart enough to know that snitching follows people in the system forever, but he lacks impulse control and I could see him flipping out, feeling powerless, and in an effort to gain control running to the unit CO as described because as someone physically incapable of doing anything to fight back the only way he could hurt the guy that disciplined him would have been to tell on him. Some days later I ran into a leader of the Felony Block Kings (FBK) and Oregon United (OU). The FBK is a well known gang of white inmates in Oregon. OU is a group of white gangs including FBK that formed an alliance for the betterment of the white community in Oregon prisons and works together for the betterment of white inmates from Oregon in the federal system. I personally know this FBK/OU leader to be one of the most respected white inmates from Oregon in the feds. When in J2 he usually calls the shots for the whites and he was also at USP Victorville after I was. We were in D Pod at the Columbia County Jail together earlier in 2018 and during our conversations it became obvious to me that he was in good standing with the White Car and Northwest Whites at Victorville USP. The White Car is a group comprised of almost all affiliated and independent white inmates in general population. The criteria for membership is pretty simple, for the most part you just have to be a white man, not a sex offender, not a snitch, not a Muslim, and not be affiliated with a another race's gang. The Northwest Whites are a sub car of the White Car consisting of whites from the Pacific Northwest. Like the White Car its members include both affiliated and independent inmates. Affiliated inmates are active gang members like this source and independents are inmates like me that are not gang members. Members of the White Car and Northwest Whites in Victorville adhere to an honor code that strictly prohibits and has strong sanctions for anyone that falsely accuses someone of being a snitch. Due to that code, the fact that this man was still a J2 shot caller, knew he was going back to Victorville, and is a career criminal that would not want to ruin his credibility in the eyes of other inmates by falsely accusing someone of being a snitch, I give great weight to the statements of this individual. Now, back to our conversation. While talking to him in the holding cells at the federal courthouse and I asked about Schaefer he told me a similar that was strikingly similar to the one that the Joker told me. It sounded like they "heart checked" Fingers and that he failed that check in the worst possible way. He too favored posting Fingers on this site. Fingers was sentenced two days ago and today I checked out the court record. The record has no mention of anything that could be referring to these allegations. I wanted to wait until after his sentencing to write this because I wanted to see if this alleged incident came up at sentencing. I had told his attorney about it thinking it might be relevant to sentencing because if true it would mean that his time will be far worse than it otherwise would be. If they don't send him to a protective custody (PC) yard, nut house, or ADX, he will end up in special housing units (SHUs) under 23 hour lockdown for his own safety. Having this jacket makes him a vulnerable person and that can be a sentencing factor. I had planned to attend the sentencing hearing but though it was this coming week instead of last week. Nothing is in the sentencing memorandum suggesting that Fingers should get less time due to vulnerability and because the pre-sentence investigation report is filed under seal, I have no way of knowing if it contains any references to this. I can conclusively say that there is nothing in his publicly available paperwork suggesting that he is a snitch. What the record does include is a threat that Fingers mailed the district court. That threat states: "If I am sent to a United States Penitentiary Facility. I will immediately be given, acquire, or make a knife or weapon and kill an inmate, so that I am removed from such Facility. I will not remain in a United States Penitentiary." -Jason Schaefer. Besides being a direct threat to inmates that looked out for me when I was in prison, this letter begs the question: "Why is Fingers so scared of a USP?" There can only really be two answers. First, he might not be scared at all and this is an effort to get sent to Administrative Maximum (ADX) or a mental health prison like MCFP Springfield. Second, he is afraid of what happens to snitches in active USPs. Given the weight of the other evidence I believe the latter answer to be correct. Snitches at USPs are automatically removed from general population by the inmates. Since he has had a bad jacket for over a year he would most likely be instantly recognized at any USP in the western region. Assuming he lasts long enough on mainline to get a knife the kind of PC move he threatened is not uncommon. PC inmates are well known for attacking good inmates to get off the yard and make the paperwork look like they were taken off for disciplinary and not PC reasons. He will probably PC himself to avoid getting jumped on sight and this threat gives him a chance to blame his classification on something other than his jacket. If Fingers were to hypothetically land on a yard where he had enough time to find a knife before getting smashed off and actually managed to kill an inmate, that would probably be the best thing for him under these circumstances. He is doing 40 years and killing an inmate would let him go to ADX for at least the first 10 years. At ADX he would have better food, commissary, and his own TV in his cell. Some guys have killed just to get that because they know that if they get out it will be decades later and some prefer ADX to general population. Inmate on inmate killings are also rarely prosecuted if the inmate has more than 10 years left. Based on the overall weight of the evidence I personally believe Fingers to be a snitch as described by his accusers.#jasonschaefer #fcisheridan #shu #fdcsheridan #multnomahcountyjail

Ninth Circuit Should Order New Trial for Jason Paul Schaefer

Jason Paul Schaefer's sentencing hearing was classic Marco Hernandez doing what he wanted. He began by dismissing a motion for reconsideration that should have given Schaefer a new trial because a member of the prosecution's team, Lauren Williams Deits, was once a legal assistant for Schaefer's attorney and interviewed Schaefer on behalf of that lawyer. Deits never told her current employer, the United States Attorney's Office, that she had previously worked with Deits. When a lawyer at her former firm notified Schaefer's defense team they moved to dismiss the case. During those proceedings Judge Hernandez went on record as saying that he did not believe Deits when she said that she did not recall interviewing Schaefer just two years earlier, so why did Judge Hernandez deny the motion? All Judge Hernandez has to do to uphold a conviction under these circumstances is say that he does not believe that the defendant suffered prejudice. If there is no prejudice then the question of whether or not Schaefer's right to counsel was violated due to a member of the prosecution's team possessing privileged information becomes legally irrelevant. Leading up to this it is no surprise that Hernandez stated on the record that he did not believe Deits. This is classic Hernandez presenting the appearance of reasonableness and compromise knowing that in the end it won't matter anyway. The conviction and sentence that Hernandez wanted is in place while he gets to defend his actions by pointing to favorable statements or rulings that he did make even though they did not result in any tangible favors for the defendant. The worst Judge Hernandez has to worry about if he is wrong under these circumstances is that the Ninth Circuit or Supreme Court overrules him and orders a new trial. If Hernandez had ordered a new trial his court, the government, and the taxpayers would have suffered enormous expenses since the monetary cost alone of a federal criminal trial is believed to be in the millions. That is a lot to consider for a judge that ultimately believes that even without that evidence the jury would still have convicted him and he personally would have given the same sentence. The problem with that conclusion is that it is hypothetical. In an assault case where intent is an element of the offense a prior incident involving the defendant and law enforcement can be a deciding factor for a juror when it comes to whether they think the allegations are consistent with the defendant's character. Judge Hernandez is not a psychic, so he is in no place to know exactly what a juror thinks or would think if not told something. Questions of facts are for juries to decide and judges are not in a position to speculate as to what a jury would have decided. Judge Hernandez is in a position to say that it did not prejudice sentencing because as mentioned earlier he does what he wants, so changing the evidence would not cause Hernandez to impose a different sentence unless that evidence prejudices the defendant even further, but the question remains for the jury as to whether or not Hernandez should have the authority to sentence the person at all. The Ninth Circuit should overturn this conviction, order a new trial, and direct the district court not to allow evidence from the case in which Deits's former boss represented Schaefer. That is because like the quote in the lobby at the Hatfield Courthouse says, the first responsibility of any society is justice. Justice cannot be done if it is denied for budgetary reasons based on speculation even if that speculation is highly likely to be correct. From what I understand the prosecution used evidence from that prior case that likely came from Deits and that evidence was prejudicial. Prejudicial because even though it did not have anything to do with the current case, it could be used to question Schaefer's credibility, his character, any predisposition that may have existed, and his attitude towards police. I was not at the trial but it is my understanding that the government sought body cam footage from that earlier arrest and that lead probably came from Deits. Schaefer represented himself at trial and according to one witness that was like watching someone set himself on fire, so that was another error by Hernandez because as someone that knows Schaefer, I can tell you that he is not competent to represent himself. He even had a decent lawyer and did that anyway, which supports my point further. Fortunately for Schaefer he did not waive any of his appellate rights, so the procedural bars that usually keeps the Ninth Circuit from calling out Hernandez do not exist here. Still, the Ninth Circuit is a liberal activist court that acts a lot like Hernandez, so they are likely to seek ways to uphold the end result that they wish to see even if they know that they are technically wrong.#ninthcircuit #marcohernandez #jasonschaefer #laurendeits

Mason Dawson as Bobby Hill: Season 1 Episode 2

In this episode Bobby Hill tried to take an inmate to court in a black box, the inmate refused, Bobby backed off, and the inmate never went to court that day. Bobby then wrote up the inmate not just for refusing to go to court and follow orders, but also for disrespecting staff for calling him Bobby Hill. The incident report .pdf is being uploaded with this report. He also recommended that the inmate be placed in close custody for threatening to post personal information about Bobby Hill on this website. That last part is the most egregious misconduct here beyond trying to make the inmate wear a black box device all the way to court. Black box devices are basically locks that go around handcuffs and connect to a belly chain. They should only be used under the most serious of circumstances because they cut off circulation and cause temporary nerve damage. But back to the last part, Bobby Hill recommended close custody for an inmate that never physically threatened or assaulted staff just because he threatened to post him on a website. Close custody is supposed to be reserved for the inmates that are the most dangerous and by dangerous that means physically dangerous. Close custody inmates are transported in black boxes anytime they are moved in the jail, they are kept separate from other inmates, and are dressed differently. A verbal threat that does not involve physical violence does not justify a close custody recommendation.

RateMyCop.com Acquisition Failed Thanks to DropCatch.com Scams?

RateMyCop.com should have been acquired by CopBlaster.com this week. Unfortunately DropCatch.com has so many hurdles in place that anyone looking to bid that is not already a member has no reasonable chance of bidding on any domain name that they wish to bid on. We found this out when noticing that RateMyCop.com was being auctioned off and that there was less than 24 hours left in the auction. This was nothing any reasonable person would have panicked over but we would have panicked had we known that DropCatch requires anyone looking to participate in their auctions to undergo a rigorous verification process that is impossible to complete in time for most people to participate in auctions that they notice for the first time on DropCatch. When CopBlaster.com tried to bid on RateMyCop.com we had to create a NameBright account. That was easy and should have been all we had to do to then sign into DropCatch and place a bid. Unfortunately after signing into DropCatch we could not place a bid because it said that verification was required. We then added a credit card number even though we were going to use an online service to pay for domain. That was not enough. They asked the owner of CopBlaster.com to send them a copy of his photo identification and after he submitted that, the page said that verification could take up to 72 hours. Then with less than an hour to go in the auction the founder of CopBlaster.com found an email from DropCatch asking him to then provide a photo of himself holding the ID card. CopBlaster.com responded by saying that their request was "fucking bullshit" because due to monitoring restrictions imposed by the district court in his case, the owner of CopBlaster.com cannot own a mobile phone at this time and therefore it is completely unreasonable to ask him to take a selfie. This is a completely unreasonable request that assumes the person looking to bid on the site has a mobile phone or a web cam. First, nobody in their right mind owns a web cam for security reasons. Second, not everyone owns or needs a mobile phone and it is not reasonable to expect someone to acquire one just to take a picture of him or herself to send to DropCatch. We have no idea if that would have been sufficient. Remember that DropCatch had given notice of a 72 hour timeline to complete verification and the selfie request came in an email and was not listed on the site as a verification requirement. They probably would have asked for something more like a video of him holding the ID card at the bank that issued credit card followed by an interview with the bank manager vouching for the identity of the cardholder and a signed statement from someone at the bank's corporate headquarters vouching for the manager. Then they probably would have asked for a criminal background check, credit check, SAT scores, fingerprints, and finally a CT scan to make sure that the applicant had no brain damage. Long story short, do not use DropCatch if you are trying to auction off a domain. There are many better places to host domain auctions where interested buyers can actually bid on the domain. Whoever owned RateMyCop.com lost money by choosing DropCatch. Any good auctioneer accepts bids from anyone, only asks for payment information if they win the auction, and if for any reason payment is not made, awards the auctioned item to the runner up. Some might not agree with that last statement. A Google search for DropCatch results is lots of people accusing the site of being involved with fraudulent bidding scams. That might explain the verification process. A process that surely reduces bids but not in a good way as far as we are concerned. If you spoke to someone at DropCatch they would probably say that their verification process has reduced bidding fraud and therefore is better than letting anyone create an account and place a bid. They would then probably explain their selfie request as being something that 99% of their customers could comply with in a short period of time and blame anyone without a mobile phone for not keeping up with the times or acquiring a conviction that prohibits them from keeping up with the times. Still, a picture of a photo ID is good enough for Facebook, so it should be good enough for DropCatch. #ratemycop #dropcatch #namebright #scams

Racist Facebook Group Full of Border Patrol Agents

A bunch of racist Border Patrol agents were caught on Facebook last summer with their own racist Border Patrol Facebook group. A sample of their work can be found in the source article. Known participants in the group include: Thomas Hendricks Hector Garcia Jr. Jorge Nunez Mike Herrero Sierra Mowery Mark Ponch John Tedford Riley Glock Eric Castillo Bob Wilkinson Angel Avilez Anthony Ramos Rick Mora Jr. Zach Smith Christian Macias Jose Ortiz Adam Matott Jesse Cabe Mike Kotwicki Jesus E. Nunez Brian Fawcett Chad Wamsley Justin Blue Ortiz Gabriel Gonzalez Zack Smith Anthony Ramos Michael Scherer It is surprising to see how many of these racist people are against those of shared heritage. Any number of these names could just as easily belong to an illegal alien and if one were to ask a native he would probably call them all illegal alien names. The name of the group was "I'm 10-15" in reference to a radio code used by the Border Patrol to signal that they have an illegal alien in custody. The group supposedly had over 9,000 members at one time. It is not clear how many of their members were in fact Border Patrol Agents, but there were at least a couple dozen of them. It is also not known how many of the groups members (if any) were 10-15 year olds that joined thinking that it was a group of their peers possibly tricked by the immature behavior of the users as well as the name. It is also not known how many of the members were sexual predators that joined hoping to meet 10-15 year olds or how many of them are also Border Patrol Agents.#borderpatrol #facebook #racism

Lauren Williams Deits Helped USAO Prosecute a Former Client

When Lauren Williams Deits was a legal assistant for the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) in Portland, Oregon she assisted in the prosecution of Jason Paul Schaefer even though Schaefer is a former client of hers that she personally worked with at the Washington County Jail. In 2017 she was a legal assistant for the Metropolitan Public Defender (MPD) in Washington County and Jason Schaefer was an inmate facing a new criminal charge. Deits' job was to interview inmates about their cases within 24 hours of their arraignment and one of the inmates she interviewed was Schaefer. At the time of Schaefer's interview he was charged with being a felon in possession of body armor. Evidence in that case included body cam footage from arresting officers. That footage was later used by prosecutors in his federal case. Despite overwhelming evidence that would jog the memory of any normal person that had interviewed Schaefer in the capacity that Deits interviewed him, she claims that at no point when she was working on his federal case did she ever remember meeting Schaefer. The judge overseeing the case, Marco Hernandez, has stated in court that he does not believe her. This author personally dislikes Hernandez, has a very rocky history with him, and despite that fully supports his position that Deits is not credible. Diets' prior work with Schaefer did not come to light until someone at MPD noticed a Facebook post written by Diets about the guilty verdict in which she referred to the case as what she had lost her mind working on for months. The MPD lawyer reading the post remembered that Diets had worked with Shaefer's MPD defense team and notified Schaefer's lawyer. A criminal background check of Deitz revealed a dismissed speeding violation. The information from that case was listed as follows: 12/05/2017 VIOLATING A SPEED LIMIT Case Number 17VI208971 Crime Type TRAFFIC Degree Of Offense VIOLATION CLASS C Grade Of Offense CR Offense Code 811.111 Offense Date 11/26/2017 Offense Description VIOLATING A SPEED LIMIT Charges Filed Date 12/05/2017 Plea 2217 Disposition DIS Disposition Date 02/09/2018 Status STATE OF OREGON VS LAUREN WILLIAMS DEITS More information: https://ift.tt/33hhLQQ Possible Lauren Deits Facebook Profile: https://ift.tt/2JILJVZ DISCLOSURE: In the spirit of disclosure this author remembers living next to Schaefer at the Columbia County Jail in 2018. During that time Schaefer a.k.a. "Fingers" made my time better. At one point he stuck up for me after a guard used excessive force. Fingers helped me eat better when the jail would not sell me commissary. I believe that my opinion of Ms. Deits has been tainted by my positive experiences with Fingers kind of like how her experience with him surely tainted her work on his trial.#laurendeits #jasonschaefer #metropolitanpublicdefender

Was Jail Commander Tony Weaver Overlooked in Dog Bite Brutality Video

In video footage of a high profile attack on an inmate by a police dog one face stood out to me as someone the press should have been talking about. That was the face of Columbia County Jail Commander Tony Weaver. This is something that anyone not familiar with the staff at that facility could easily overlook. Weaver is hard to identify in the video because he is in the dark and as this screenshot shows his features are hard to make out. The beginning of the video provides a more clear picture of Weaver outside of the unit pointing up at the cell where the victim of this vicious attack was. As someone that has done time at CCJ I know who Weaver is and I recognized him right away because he has certain features that stand out. His height and his nose especially. Why is this important? As Jail Commander, Weaver is a high ranking official in that municipality. That might explain why Columbia County settled the lawsuit. Whenever a municipality is sued for the acts of its employees it almost always can claim immunity. The way such a defense works is by the municipality saying that their policies are perfectly legal and they are not responsible for how low level employees may or may not do things outside of the policy. As a result knowledge of upper management goes a long way in proving that a policy or custom in the municipality exists even if it is not necessarily written down. In this case the presence of the Jail Commander establishes a culture in which none of the jail's deputies would think that it is not permissible to use a police dog in this fashion because even the commander approves of it. This might explain whey the county settled.#tonyweaver #columbiacountyjail #martikyles #dogs #assault
