An outspoken anti-immigration activist who was at the center of a series of violent crimes in Everett earlier this year now stands accused of the home-invasion killings of an Arizona man and his 9-year-old daughter.
Shawna Forde, 41, and two associates in her Minuteman American Defense group are charged with two counts of first-degree murder, one count of first-degree burglary and one count of aggravated assault ...
The May 30 killings were believed to be premeditated and part of a plan to steal money and drugs to finance the Minuteman group she leads. Forde's own family said that the woman weeks ago had discussed using robberies to raise money for her cause.
Pima County Sheriff's Department ... told The Herald that Forde "was the ringleader of this group and of this attack. She made the order for Bush to go in and shoot these individuals."
Forde's mother, who lives in California, said she was not surprised to hear of her daughter's arrest.
She talked of staging home invasions, Caudle said.
"She sat here and said that she was going to start a group where they went down and start taking things away from the Mexican mafia," Caudle said. "She was going to kick in their doors and take away the money and the drugs."
Caudle said she wasn't sure what to make of that at the time, in part because Forde has a history of exaggeration and lying.
People in the Minuteman movement reacted to news of the arrests with sadness -- and some contempt for Forde.
Jeff Schwilk, founder of the San Diego Minutemen ... said he and others long ago recognized that Forde was unstable and dangerous.
"The warning had been out in Arizona to stay away from this woman," he said. "Unfortunately, this conclusion was very tragic."

Weird
She played right into 0bama’s hands didn’t she. Associated her name with a group and now, all will be branded in the media. The fact that the group tried to distance themselves will matter naught.
Oh great. Another story about right wing wackos killing people.
Strange how the real (or alleged) right wing whackos started coming out of the woodwork lately, isn’t it?
Is this the “crisis” Biden predicted/promised?
Be careful, be very careful.
dico ut telum! dico ut telum!
Things may yet be other thann what they seem. The Kenyan fascist is looking for an excuse; a Reichstag fire..
Still, if you check the political affiliations of every killer who gets caught you’ll find the overwhelming majority of them are Obama supporters.
Strange indeed.
Penn and Teller has a great 3 part bit on YOUTUBE on illegal immigration.
In Part I, they interview a group of Minutemen...the exact opposite of this piece of work.
Warning...language.
I simply don't believe any news I read or hear nowadays. So much of it seems to be staged in order to sway public opinion or legitimize the curtailing of our rights.
Yet another example that all groups must be viligant to expel extremists, even though those extremists may be fellow travellers.
Check out ALIPAC for more information on her and her life. She is clearly unstable, possibly a sociopath.
Right. The enemy of the enemy is not always your friend. Sometimes they can cause you a lot of harm.
I remember that piece. Penn & Teller were disappointed at how reasonable and sane the people in the Minutemen were.
This Forde woman was quite the opposite — booted from the group for being a loose cannon and started her own org. She did share a stage with Gilchrist in 2007 and he has issued supportive statements as far as their goals overlap but she was largely ostracized. Apparently she had some crazy plan to rob the Mexican Mafia and ended up killing some drug dealers 9-year-old daughter.
Tragic and a real blow to the Minutemen who will be tarred by the media as part the this ongoing “Right-wing Terror” narrative they are pushing — you know, because a few homegrown wackos who may have watched Fox News at some point are the real danger, not the Islamic psychos trying to build nukes in Iran.
