Broken Borders: Broken Promises (Simcox-Minuteman)
ABC 15 Investigators ^ | 4/27/2006 | Staff

Americans are donating thousands of dollars to support Minutemen patrolling the border. But you may be surprised where your money is NOT going in this 4-month investigation.

Those folks could have looked into the background of the man they so willingly followed. With 10 minutes on Google anyone could have seen that this man is a very unstable egomaniac and he is a powder keg with the fuse lit.

Then why the heck is this just now being obsessed about here?

That's just it. We haven't heard about this. Simcox has had plenty of time to clear this up.

Did you watch and listen to those good people trying to make a difference at the border?

Aren't you angry that possibly millions in donation money sent to Simcox for the purpose of securing parts of the border is unaccounted for?

Frankly, you and other border screamers here should be disgusted and call Simcox out.

Why aren't you doing that? Put pressure on him to open the books and show where the money has been spent.

I had to get a plugin and use Netscape to get it to work for me. I am sure there are other ways to make it work.

The piece is using interviews with participants of the MM project speaking about how money collect for the expenses of MMP volunteers was not paid out. Simcox was shown saying food, radios, and other supplies were to be provided. The video showed that was not the case. Simcox is the one looking like a crook, from his own words and from those involved with him.

"So, we'll post to one another about whatever we wish."

Did I say anywhere that you couldn't? I assume I must have to warrant this response.

It's just a bit pathetic to read.

I guess we have to believe all those volunteers are liars and dupes for the press.

So that is what an "Israeli" style fence looks like.

Who's holding a squirt gun to your head forcing you to read this thread?

"I count 8 so far. What's your number?"

I thought this was a fair question.

"I think we can safely separate Simcox from the Minutemen, don't you?"

I haven't followed the whole group in depth. I was under the impression he was their leader of sorts. I'm sure if he's into wrong doing, there are still folks who are apart of it 'fighting the good fight' and they aren't guilty of anything. I didn't intend to include all of those involved with the movement because I think their efforts are very noble, but this guy needs to disclose the finances since he's accepting contributions on a large scale. It needs to be done, or he will be.

...Minuteman spokeswoman Connie Hair said it would take up to three weeks to build the estimated $100,000 fence.

That was on May 27; it ought to be fully operational at this point, right? ;-)

"Get a room people. Or actually debate. Or heck just do something than laugh at each other's every post and agree with each other all the dang time and pretend this counts as some form of an argument."

Boy have you got that right. They all feed off of one another. It's almost incestuous. And boring. Something to avoid. The Harpies have hijacked this thread and are feasting it, whether the ABC Reporter's tale is true or not true. It doesn't even matter to them. They will grab the worst viewpoint and run with it. You're better off saving yourself an Excedrin headache and get off like I'm doing in a quick minute. This little tribe of Bots are a pain in the patooey. Escape while you can. I'm out of here and onto greener thread pastures. Egocentric self-involvement only goes so far in entertainment value.

That's quite a fence. For cattle. MAYBE.

So you believe Simcox when he went on Fox news and accused the Border Patrol of cutting his fence? His evidence being that the boot prints were the same as standard issue BP uniform boots?
