    Another crazy right wing racist goes on a killing spree. This women also faked her own rape a while back blaming it on Mexicans to try and stir up anti-immigrant sentiment to boost the ranks of her racist right wing minutemen group.

      more "true believers" taking the law into their own hands...i hope that law enforcement and the judicial system will do what they are supposed to do...execute the law fairly.

      the minutemen use the name of real freedom fighters to mask their bigotry.

      their tactics disgust me.

        Exactly, I think Obama needs to outlaw these minuteman groups, they're scum and make the problem worse. I couldn't decribe their tactics any better than you, they disgust me too

          A slippery slope. Killing people is illegal, as it should be. Hanging out with a bunch of gun-toting, racist ******** is an exercise of one's freedom of association. Yoy have to protect other people's freedoms if you wish to protect your own, even though you may detest the way in which they exercise such freedoms.

            That's true, we can't go outlawing the KKK or the neo-Nazis now, can we? As much as we hate them, they're still protected under the law.

            'Till the ******* go f*ck up and do something illegal, then we smash their racist asses into Supermax for life!

            There's no way to ban sociopaths, be they extremists of any type. They appear with regularity in all populations, and although some may be white supremacists, others islamic militants, others latino cartels or black gangbangers, it would be futile to try to "ban" them.

            I agree with Deathray and The Realizer--we have rule of law in place to sort it out. As long as most of us agree these groups are repugnant, I think it's a good sign.

            How do we know it even happened. Maybe an Obama effort to get Mexican sympathy... look at what goes on with the New York and L A cops, with the countless numbers of cases of people getting framed that go on

            This has been here over 9 hours & no one is reading it - what a shame - this is from a reliable newspaper - not a wacko blog
            Where are the apologists to say that the Minutemen are actually leftist liberal killers? These are the very same as the guys in DC - Pittsburgh-& others recently.
            Homeland Security is right our biggest terrorist threats are becoming home grown & they never read the Quran

              Here's a previous news story about this lowlife " her candidacy was tarnished by a well-publicized August 2007 shoplifting conviction for stealing $3.18 worth of chocolate milk from a grocery store. Forde claimed she walked into an adjacent Starbucks to meet a friend and simply forgot about paying. She nonetheless pleaded guilty, claiming she could not attend the trial while filming along the Mexican border. "The only reason I settled is because I'm shooting a documentary for my country," Forde told reporters. "I don't care [about the charges]. I am way too busy nationally to worry about this.""

                When will people get it, that there is a faction in this country that is dangerous, and needs to be ripped from their hiding place behind the American flag? Between the flag and the bible, we're riddled with psychopaths in plain sight!

                  We already know but here is the paradox. To rip them from their hiding place we must become like them. I know a lot of people out there would love to just blow the crap out of the guy who killed the doctor who performed late term abortions but if we do we become filled with hate and we replace them. That is the reptilian reaction brain. Some of us have evolved a prefrontal lobe which allows us to think before we react. That is why we listen to reason instead of gut reaction like W.

                    A corollary of this is that we need to use our powers of reason and our lizard brains also to detect when the rules change, and to revise our strategies and tactics accordingly.

                    Plenty of people knew they were going down the wrong road in Germany in the 1930s. Not enough of them understood that the Nazis were not playing by the same rules, and that their "democracy" had been subverted. They were consequently ineffective in thwarting the fascist rise to power.

                      Nope. All it would take is a media that exposes them, 24/7.

                        I have to love what MSNBC is becoming. I just can't get enough of when they show a republican screaming about how Sotomayor says her life experiences will make her a better justice means she is racist. Then they follow it with a clip of the same senator hearing Thomas or Scalito saying the same thing almost word for word but because they are republicans the senator praises them. They are doing a great job showing that most republicans are dumb hypocrites. Liberals know their best weapon against the republicans is an educated populous and a free press.

                        She'll have her ass handed to her now - hopefully she can't get off on Insanity.

                        Any reasonable Psychologist would say she has problems and lock her ass up - even if she needs to be rehabilitated, lock her ass UP

                            The people in Guantanamo aren't convicted and haven't even been charged. They are only suspected.

                            I completely understand your point and agree with you to not make full judgments based on the charges.

                            The problem is that we are a very self-righteous society and judgment is only relative. I believe if the justice statues were taken down out of court houses, no one would notice that the lady and blindfold are gone. HEY, just take off her blindfold. I would love to see such an experiment and see the results.

                            Prejudice comes from "pre"judge. It is the root for most racism and declarations that people of different culture, color, nationality and background are of lower class and statue. This is what nourishes such people's hatred and decree that such acts should not qualify as a crime as much as if committed against people of their same ilk.

                            Mark my word, I expect innocent Muslims will be amongst the next group to suffer more of these types of crimes. My family has suffered as black people from this same type of injustice and terrorism.

                                I will say that at least there are witnesses, including the ones who shot him.

                          from their website: "Minuteman American Defense has never and will not participate in any activities that will risk the lives of any human such as home invasions, sniper posts or ambush patrols or any terrorist tactics."

                          guess that didn't turn out very well. i'm surprised the website is still up.

                            Minuteman founder arrested for murder of Mexican Family

                            The Minuteman founder is Jim Gilchrist, they MCDC have nothing to do with this mad group.

                            Aidenag, why was the title of the article changed from

                            “Outspoken activist accused in deadly robbery”

                            To

                            “Minuteman founder arrested for murder of Mexican Family”

                            Are you trying to create a link tween Minuteman founder is Jim Gilchrist, MCDC.

                            Are you really that lame, that pathetic?

                            No wonder this site is dying.

                              I have to agree the title is misleading, perhaps "Minuteman Group Founder Arrested..." would have been a better choice, when I think Minuteman, I think of the group you reference and I imagine most of the public does as well.

                                Really, Aidenaq, you have conflated the lunatic founders of two racist anti-Mexican gun-totin' fascist paramilitary groups. The shame of it.

                                You flunked your "hate-group trivia test" for this week. No soup for you.

                                  This reminds me of the Guardian Angels. Started with good intent and good people but once it got too big the people who are looking more to attack than monitor start slipping in.

                                      The original idea was just to watch, report, and deter by being there like a security guard. I have done some security guard work and when I was guarding a housing development under construction I had to tell the teens who were making out or smoking weed to move along. Another part is to be visible so people know not to become a problem. I did not just to decide to whip their ass to teach them a lesson because that is not my position. When they were founded the Minutemen said that they would monitor areas of the desert and report sitings and call the border patrol. Now it looks like they are taking it upon themselves to become vigilantes and that is outside what they can legally do.

                                        Have you had any face-to-face with the Chris Simcox crowd?

                                        Plenty of racism, plenty of hate, and some would be killing Mexicans if they thought they could get away with it.

                                        Not nice people.

                                    So a lone white racist guns down a security guard in a holocaust museum and it's not just national news, it is the topic of endless conversation.

                                    An organized group of white racists invade a Mexican family's home, murder the father and his little daughter and severely wound the mother, and it's only local news.

                                    Why is that?

                                      WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH EXTREMISTS? THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY DONE BY EVIL PEOPLE LOOKING FOR DRUGS AND MONEY...ONE OF THEM WAS A MEXICAN! SO THE MINUTEMEN WERENT COMMITING A HATE CRIME, THE MURDERERS WERE THERE ON THEIR OWN FOLKS, AND HOPEFULLY THEY HANG FOR IT.

                                        Along with those who feel the need to post in all caps. There is no better way to distract people from listening to what you have to say. In your case maybe thats a good thing.
