ATF Informant: Scumbag

[Mr Weebles]

This story in unbelievable.

Our tax dollars at work:

By almost anybody's standards, Joshua Allan Jackson is bad news.

A felon with a lengthy history of violence against women, Jackson was sentenced to 10 years in prison April 13 for sexually abusing an 18-year-old woman and holding her against her will for days inside a cheap South Seattle motel last year. The woman told investigators Jackson forced her to audition for a porn film and at one point choked her so hard she almost lost consciousness.

For all of this, the 34-year-old Jackson would be just another habitual criminal except for one startling fact: He was working the entire time as a paid informant for the Seattle office of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The agency made Jackson an informant even though he had come out of prison early last year with a documented reputation as a violent, mentally unstable inmate who had been arrested in nearly every state and posed a serious threat to law-enforcement officers.

ATF paid for the motel room where the woman was sexually abused, according to police records obtained by The Seattle Times. Only months before the assault, the records show, a concerned Seattle police officer spoke to an ATF agent on the phone after Jackson had reportedly flashed a badge during the "help the officer" incident. The agent vouched for Jackson.

The agent's first words to the officer were, "What did Josh do now?"

Buy it. It's worth every penny. When you're done with it pass it on to a friend or karma it here.

The ATF is a morally bankrupt, criminal organization. How many atrocities have they committed (Waco, Ruby Ridge come readily to mind)? How many more will our jacktastic "leaders" let them commit?

Confidential informants are a fact of life for investigative agencies. Inside men aren't going to be good guys, I can deal with that. That said, somebody with a record like this guy is clearly a sociopath and threat to society who has fallen through the system what appears to be dozens of times. The biggest thing I came away from after reading that article was that our justice system has issues. These are exactly the kind of people that need to be in prison forever.

There is also a chasm between "dealing with" scum to learn about other scum and "setting them up" with hotels, and conduits to expand their illegal and antisocial behavior. That seems to be a repeated failure with federal agencies since their inception. They have utterly failed in a number of high profile incidents to know where to draw the line to the point of the Bulger non-sense where the FBI was acting as mob muscle.

Hopefully this news will follow him back to prison and his fellow inmates will sort him out for us taxpayers.

Mr Weebles - Is your avatar bubbles from Trailer park boys? That show is hilarious... Probably the only thing that made Netflix worth the subscription when I had it.
Damn that was some good pepperoni!! HaHA...

 

[smitty]

Gray Horizon - "His fellow inmates will sort him out for us taxpayers". THIS, He was a RAT so the other criminals will just love him. We all get what we deserve in this life and justice comes one way or another.

ThePreBanMan, Yes Mr Weebles avatar is Bubbles from TPB. For me that show did make Netflix worth the damn subscrition.
Bubbles (aka Mike Smith's) best ones from the show; the Mt. Lion named Steve Finch, talking about the Samsquanch, CONKY, and of course The Green Bastard from parts unkown.

Fixed.

Here's the guy they/we were paying.

A Times review of nearly 800 pages of prison and prosecution documents revealed the Bronx, N.Y., native had been jailed in 43 states. His convictions date to the 1990s and include breaking and entering, robbery and larceny.

It isn't clear when Jackson moved to Washington, but records show he was arrested in Spokane in 2007 after a 25-year-old woman he had been dating reported he had assaulted her.

After getting out of jail, he told the woman he was going to torture her parents in front of each other before killing them. He also sent threatening emails to her parents.

The woman told detectives Jackson claimed he had brutally killed 27 men and two women, and had hidden many of the bodies in Florida's Everglades. Terrorized, the woman and her family had the locks changed on their doors, according to court documents.

At one point, she alleged, Jackson measured her legs to ensure they would fit into plastic bags after he killed and dismembered her.

Jackson was charged in December 2007 with cyberstalking that included death threats. He pleaded guilty and was given a six-month sentence with credit for 69 days already spent in jail.

In March 2008, police responded to a domestic dispute in which his live-in girlfriend complained Jackson had trashed their apartment. She told police he armed himself with knives after discovering she had sent a text message to an old boyfriend.
