Barbara "Kodie" Lester (no pic available)
Gregory "Gino" Hansen
 

These two spend a lot of time freezing in a tent, mainly because they are lazy thieves who steal from virtually everyone who helps them out, while they smile and claim you are their best friend... Kodie can do the "crocodile tears routine" with the best of them, usually when asked to get her ass out of someone's home.

They'll have you believe he's schizo, and she's got every ailment known to man.  Of course, she's blind, deaf, dumb and always moaning in pain.  She has supposedly survived rheumatic fever, among other things... again, usually when asked to get her ass out of someone's home.

You'll not have a pain pill to yourself as long as her pitifully lazy ass is around.

They'll eat you out of house and home, even though they both get food stamps. Best of all, the washer or dryer will start eating all cute/sexy women's clothes (if they will stretch over a cow, that is).

They got kicked out of their last squat for all of the reasons above, and their steady stream of traffic running in and out, almost around the clock... most people don't want their home turned into a hang-out.  They'll swear on a stack of bibles and dead relatives that your concert shirts and black clothing must have climbed out of the dryer and into their bags all on their own, and actually get pissed if you won't buy that story.  If you value anything at all, don't let these two into your home no matter what...

And to top it all off--- BARBARA JEAN LESTER has a god-child, guess who the parent is,,, The daughter of SHERYL KELLY!  That's right, see above post for more "family informants...er, I mean information... Anyone who doesn't think "BJ" aka "Kodie" doesn't get mad and

New!  Just in--- these emails do a better job than I ever could, of showing what really goes on in the mind of a tweaker who tries to rationalize having a paid informant in the "family"--- here's the texts:

I'm going to present you with a very novel concept, and try to follow this
because it's clearly a very complicated idea for you to grasp:

Don't break the law (as in, don't manufacture and deal in drugs and crime)
and you don't have to worry about being "informed on". I know, this is
something you obviously have a tough time coming to terms with but it's how
the rest of us who DON'T have to worry about informants live without those
concerns. You call those people traitors, but if those "traitors" are the
ones keeping the dregs of society out of my house than I'll do anything I
can to support them running your ass right to where it belongs...in jail.

And hate cops and the law all you want but I'll make a wild guess as to who
it is you'll call when the bigger badder criminal knocks down your door and
kicks your ass around (because I promise you that you're not the badass you
seem to think you are). That same legal system that you talk so much shit
about is the one you'll come whining and sniveling to when you want
retribution for you loses, oh but god forbid YOU be held accountable for the
pain you cause other people, right? American society has admittedly failed
you by allowing you to believe that you're somehow entitled to get whatever
you want without the accompanying consequences, but let me assure you that what you want and what the reality of life is are two very different things.

By the way, the same legal system that you hate for nailing you when you do
break the law is the same system set in place allowing you to publish this
shitty website. As much as you rant and hate it, you're just a pawn playing
into the game and you have those cops and lawyers to thank for upholding
your constitutional right to publish your worthless rubbish. You might
think you're providing some big revelation to the public by complaining
about the people who turn you in, but it's that legal system that makes your
complaining possible without having to worry about the government simply
killing you off when you say what they don't like. Instead of bitching
about the legal system, you should think a little deeper into YOUR roll in
the machine and maybe realize that you're not as independent and free as you might think.

Then, WABC responds:

Holding children hostage to force a mother to turn on her family is reprehensible...paying one drug dealer to snitch on another is ridiculous...murdering 90 year old women because of false information is wrong...falsifying police reports and pocketing money instead of turning it over as evidence is theft...

Beating people to death in broad daylight is horrible...tazing diabetics during a seizure is uncalled for...allowing a child molester to walk free if he turns in drug users/dealers is astonishing, to say the least...

Innocent people who should have had "nothing to worry about" end up arrested, murdered, injured by police every day because the 'tips' were wrong or motivated by personal issues, not crime related...Everything is cloaked in secrecy...

What part of that don't YOU understand?

It's simple---divide and conquer. Thanks for the input though...people died to give you the right to voice your opinion, just the same as me.

sixpack,
WABC

Yeah, keeping children away from a drug addicted mother is kidnapping.
That's exactly how a drug addict WOULD see it. I'm a major fan of taking
children away from a person who's so selfish and strung-out that she won't
change their diapers or feed them, because why should kids eat when she's
got you assholes taking her grocery money in exchange for shit she can stuff
in her veins, right? That's just the kind of person who should be in charge
of other human lives, right?

Paying one drug dealer to snitch on another is a fantastic way of keeping
you scum locked away where you belong. There's no honor among theives and if that's not something you're okay with, then perhaps a new line of work is in order. Oh, but keeping a regular job isn't something you're either
willing to do or capable of holding, huh? Not when you can turn the rest of
the weak people in society into Hep-C infected, toothless crackheads,
right? And why the hell would anyone who supports the drug dealers and
criminals actually think they've got half a clue as to what goes on in
law-abiding society? You're theives, sloths, murderers and liars...why the
hell do you think anyone should listen to you or put a lot of stock in claims of police corruption? A criminial whining about corruption? Thieves
complaining about theft? Are you kidding me? That's not something people
take seriously or give respect to, it's an ironic joke.

You've turned yourselves into the shit stains of society and seem perfectly
happy to stay that way, so why should those of us who work our asses off to
build good lives for ourselves take you seriously? You'll get out of life
exactly what you put into it, and when you're a merchant of ruin that's the
only thing any of us are willing to give you back. And no, if those people
who were arrested and convicted were innocent...they wouldn't have been
convicted!

I invite you and everyone else who doesn't like the rules to get the fuck
out if you don't want to live by them. Take your blood money, buy a plane
ticket and just get the fuck out if you think the system is so corrupt. Go
live somewhere that doesn't have our laws in place and I'd put money down
that you don't last a week. Not without a wellfair system to put money in
your pockets or food stamps to put food in your mouth, or those "corrupt"
cops to keep you safe when someone else is ready to gut you over what you
have. Go live in Columbia, or Iran or any number of countries where the
legal systems are actually corrupt. And we'll just sit back and wait for
you to come sniveling back to the nice, clean, safe confines of the American
judicial system. Think it's so terrible here, huh? Than get the fuck out,
because we don't want you here anyway.
 

(Obviously she isn't aware that bad info from INFORMANTS is up at the top of the list of reasons why innocent people's homes are raided where people get shot by police, and others are wrongfully convicted.)

Interestingly, according to a room mate, the author of these emails doesn't have HER KIDS because of meth, REFUSES to work (even cleaning up around the house where she and her boyfriend squats FOR FREE), gets FOOD STAMPS and lives off of charities like JOIN for all her non-food and personal hygiene items... it sounds like she's talking more about herself here than anyone else.  Maybe she let drugs ruin her life, separate her from her kids and force her into a tent in December, but that doesn't mean everybody else is as weak and irresponsible.

SOBRIETY IS FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T HANDLE DRUGS!

There is also reason to believe that she has used her "family connection" and their corrupt handler to intimidate people who know who they are and what they do, to force them to comply or suffer the consequences.

Now, I don't know about you, but this is not a person that I would take seriously or give any respect to.  She is in fact, an ironic joke... a crackpot with the balls to stand up on a soap box and call the kettle black.  Barbara Jean Lester is a perfect example of why we need to keep on publishing informant information.  If everyone knows what they are, it will take away the fear tactics they use as leverage and help others protect themselves.

(It is too easy to get people like this to unmask themselves and show what they really are. This one figured that by using somebody else's laptop and an unfamiliar or bogus email address, no one would ever know the true origin of the hate mail.  Rage can be educational, because when people lose control they tend to talk too much for their own good, giving themselves up in the process)...works almost every time.
