Border Militia: We'll Shut Down the Border with Machine Guns

Border Militia: We'll Shut Down the Border with Machine Guns

Casey Nethercott is the leader of a militia group dubbed the Arizona Guard and said during a TV interview broadcast on Friday, "When this Minuteman thing is over, if it doesn't work, we're going to come out here and close the border with machine guns."

KVOA TV-4 in Tucson carried a report on Friday by reporter Nancy Perla that toured the group's compound that sits along the Arizona/Mexico border near Douglas, Arizona. The camera showed two older model American made SUV's, both painted black, that Nethercott claims are "armored vehicles" with "quarter-inch steel in them." Pointing again to the vehicles, Nethercott continued, "You'll get killed without them, here's been so many shootouts out here."

The camera then shows a concrete block wall riddled with bullet holes that Nethercott says came from drug smugglers. The report titled "Mimicman Projects" by KVOA calls them copy cats and says the project could begin on July 4, though Nethercott would release no details.

The Minuteman Project stated through Chris Simcox, who is an organizer for the project, that they don't support a violent solution. "I think anytime you go to that length to take the law into your own hands, you're asking for trouble," Simcox told KVOA.

The armed militia supports the Minuteman Project, but says that if they fail to close the border to illegal border crossers, his group will step in and be heavily armed to do the job.

Oh BTW, the commusnist were all for walls.

Since it's Sunday and I'm feeling generous, I'll give you this response. Call it my part in helping the handicapped. The communists built walls to keep people in. I was there. I saw it with my own eyes.

Of course, you liberals are generally divorced from reality anyway, so I know I shouldn't even bother.

Very scary how even Freepers lose the ability to think and go with the herd when it suits their mindset or cyber-click heirarchy.

I've heard nothing from FR management except a vehement attempt to link the Minutemen project with racist groups. I've yet to hear about or see one racist act to be reported (other than the idiots who made a crimminal suspect hold up the "caught by minutemen tee shirt") and the FReepers that are in attendance or observing have had nothing but good things to say about the project.

Where is the FR support?

[ "When this Minuteman thing is over, if it doesn't work, we're going to come out here and close the border with machine guns." ]

Bull...
Few Minutemen would stand for that.. after all many are ex-Leos.. only one nutz would stand for Chaos..

The agitprop begins.. shooting "peons" with machine guns would be a waste of bullets..

Publishing....
" The dumbing down of America by G.W. Bush by encouraging illegal aliens"..
would NOT be a waste.. because that is exactly where the responsiblity lies.. Because that is whats happening, America is dumbed down on two fronts.. by the illegals.. and by the public schools.. and colleges also.. other than a socxialist mentality is discouraged there with extreme prejudice..

Yeah, a bunch of guys in lawn chairs reporting illegals with cell phones , using binoculars.

What a threat to society. Now we must extrapolate that out to the next step, because you guys haven't gotten enough play with your "middle-aged supply Sargent" smears, so now you're gonna ratchet your rhetoric up a notch, eh?

That's OK, King George III and his toadies didn't care much for the original Minutemen either.

Mister, you have the RIGHT to FREE SPEECH. If you are calling President Bush a Nazi too then you can rot in HELL. You don't seem to know a Patriot and an American if one would walk up to you. If you are offended I don't care and you can bring it on because I am a PATRIOT and an AMERICAN. God Bless America and all who have and will defend her.

Next, I hope you'll comment on the quotes from the minuteman guy she interviewed.

Still having a comprehension problem ? Here's the only quote from a MMP member...

The Minuteman Project stated through Chris Simcox, who is an organizer for the project, that they don't support a violent solution. "I think anytime you go to that length to take the law into your own hands, you're asking for trouble," Simcox told KVOA.

Dane, the President should get aggressive with this problem. He should call “Michael” into the Oval Office – all three of them:

Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security


MICHAEL CHERTOFF

******

Deputy Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security


MICHAEL P. JACKSON

******

Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement


MICHAEL J. GARCIA

******

And the President should say (to no one of them in particular):

An international incident would be welcome at this point.

Something might really come of it.

I'd like to say alot more, but that would bring the mods swarming.

" My agenda is to support President Bush's immigration reforms."

Then you support illegal immigration. Any fool with a half his brain tied behind his back knows that the border effort thus far is the equivalent of spitting into the wind.

Catching crimminal trespasers and sending them back to try again is foolish.

Maintaining good relations with a country that openly provides literature and encouragement for it's citizens to commit crimminal acts in this county is treasonous, IMO.

I was basically stating that if tancredo was true to his rhetoric he would wield the sledgehammer to his basement done by illegal(impure) labor, but he won't, and I don't blame him, it costs money to redo a basement, especially one with an overhead projector and terraced seating.

Let me see if I have this straight. You're saying that because he didn't destroy his basement, that means he's not really serious about illegal immigration. And further proof is that he doesn't want to pay a second time for the same work that he just destroyed in some fit of rage. Right? If so, that is just over-the-top unreasonable.

Besides, read post #172. Looks to me like the work on his basement was totally legal, but he was set up by his political enemies afterward.

Then you support illegal immigration. . . . Catching crimminal trespasers and sending them back to try again is foolish.

Have you told this to your diety, Tancredo?
