<dd>Subject: !b_a_Act: Jersey Terror Police On the Move - Oread
Daily<br><br>
<dd><tt>Jersey Terror Police On the Move - Oread Daily<br><br>
<dd>The New Jersey State Police Counter-Terrorism Bureau decked out
in<br>
<dd>bulletproof vests and armed with assault rifles descended on a
home<br>
<dd>in Jersey the other day without a search warrant and ransacked
the<br>
<dd>home of some local residents of Exxex County.<br><br>
<dd>You probably didn't hear about it.<br><br>
<dd>Ted Nebus was the lucky guy whose apartment was torn asunder,
and<br>
<dd>whose computer, containing his master's thesis on labor
relations,<br>
<dd>was carted off. The counter terror guys also seized several
signs<br>
<dd>advocating animal rights.<br><br>
<dd>According to the Home News Tribune, police said the raid was
linked<br>
<dd>to an investigation into, get this, criminal mischief and<br>
<dd>trespassing.<br><br>
<dd>It turns out that Nebus' wife, Janice Angelillo, was already in<br>
<dd>custody. She had been picked up by the NJ State Police for
allegedly<br>
<dd>spray-painting (terrorism?). Her bail has been set at $15,000
cash.<br><br>
<dd>Janice is the treasurer of the Central New Jersey Industrial
Workers<br>
<dd>of the World and an avid animal rights activist.<br><br>
<dd>Nebus' neighbor, Tom Howard, was puzzled by the action Saturday<br>
<dd>night. "It's like if you saw one of those hyped-up movies,
except<br>
<dd>you replace the Hollywood stereotype of the evil terrorist with
the<br>
<dd>people who actually live there," Howard said. "And it's a
woman who<br>
<dd>is a school teacher, who's an art teacher at a school who weighs
100<br>
<dd>pounds soaking wet, and her husband, who is a grad student
studying<br>
<dd>labor relations."<br><br>
<dd>"They're pacifists," Howard said. "They protest for
peace." He said<br>
<dd>he was not particularly aware of the couple's animal-rights<br>
<dd>activities, but said Angelillo is "very interested in
treating<br>
<dd>animals humanely." He added, "The couple adopted five
stray<br>
<dd>cats...one of them, Acadia, has been missing since the
incident."<br><br>
<dd>The search warrant, signed several hours after Nebus and several<br>
<dd>others were detained, covered computer-related material and
paper<br>
<dd>towels, Howard said, adding that the police said Angelillo had<br>
<dd>allegedly spray-painted.<br><br>
<dd>"For allegedly spray-painting, they sent a SWAT team,"
Howard said.<br><br>
<dd>Dan O'Donnell, the building's owner said he has seen people with<br>
<dd>protest signs entering and leaving the house, but there's never
been<br>
<dd>any trouble with the residents.<br><br>
<dd>Capt. Steve Serrao of the counter-terrorism bureau said at the
scene<br>
<dd>that police were unable to release details of the investigation.
The<br>
<dd>Highland Park, New Jersey Police Department assisted the state<br>
<dd>police in the operation. A K-9 unit also was on the scene.<br><br>
<dd>Next door neighbor Howard said he understands the need to respond
to<br>
<dd>threats, but said he believes the reaction he saw to an<br>
<dd>investigation of criminal mischief and trespassing seemed
overdone.<br><br>
<dd>"It was one of those things where you will look at things and
you'll<br>
<dd>read about things going on, and then one day, you're going to a<br>
<dd>barbecue and the next thing you know, you've got an assault
rifle<br>
<dd>pointed at you," he said. Sources: Rise Up, Home News Tribune
(New<br>
<dd>Jersey), and a couple of e-mails<br><br>
