An Arizona jury has sentenced a border activist to death in the 2009 murder of a young girl and her father.

The Pima County Attorney's Office said Tuesday the Tucson jury returned the death penalty verdict against 43-year-old Shawna Forde. She now becomes the third woman on Arizona's death row.

"border activist"?

She was a thief, it was a robbery.

From an old article:

“Forde’s group is not formally connected to the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps or the Minutemen project run by Chris Simcox and James Gilchrist. “

She should get a death sentence because she is a murderer and any activism is beside the point and, from what I’ve read, just a front for her criminal enterprise. However, the MSM can’t resist the opportunity to bash opponents.

MSM is painting this criminal as a Tea Party activist.

Minutemen is no where in the article.

Although not in this article it has been liberally spread around in pretty much every other one. MCDC kicked her out because they figured for the yahoo that she turned out to be. She then decided to organize her own "Minuteman American Defense" outfit and fund it with the sale of drugs stolen from drug dealers. She's rotten to the core and the needle is, frankly, too good for her.

If only it had been an honor killing, she might have gotten a lighter sentence.

You are correct. MCDC terminated her “for cause” in February of 2007.

“Minutemen is no where in the article.”

I am aware. See my post above. I believe that the article I mentioned contained that disclaimer about 4th line from the end and the media has repeatedly labeled her a ‘minutemen’. No doubt, she will continue to be made out to be one of us, especially with the topic of amnesty being debated again. As someone else mentioned above....I won’t be surprised if they try to connect her to a tea party group.

Forde belonged to the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps before her removal for what former fellow members described as unstable behavior, according to news reports.

CNN breaks it down much better.
Three people in Manassas are murdered by a criminal illegal alien,will he be sentenced to death ?Two days before an illegal alien goes on a murderous rampage in Manassas that leaves three people dead, Delegate Patrick Hope of Arlington tries to argue that it is unfair to have illegal aliens who commit felonies held in our jails and that law enforcement doesn’t have the resources to detain and process for deportation these criminal illegal aliens.
Delegate Hope Opposes Measures Targeted at Immigrants

Richmond – Late last week, the House Courts of Justice Subcommittee on Immigration voted along party-lines to clear a series of legislative initiatives targeted at Virginia’s illegal immigrant population. The full Committee is poised to recommend the measures to the House floor this week.

“These proposals basically fall into two categories: bills that will add an undue burden and unfunded mandate on business and law enforcement, and the rest are just a meaningless restatement of federal immigration law.” Delegate Hope added, “But what they all have in common is they are message bills. And that message is very simple: if you are an illegal immigrant, we don’t want you in Virginia.”

Delegate Hope concluded, “The politics of blame is on full display this week in Virginia’s Capitol. Immigrants are to blame for Virginia’s poor economy, high unemployment, overcrowding in schools, and every other problem facing our Commonwealth. I’m surprised they didn’t blame immigrants for last week’s snowfall. It’s a ridiculous blame game and is just plain wrong.”

Patrick A. Hope is a Member of the Virginia General Assembly as the Delegate from the 47th District representing part of Arlington County. He serves on the House Courts of Justice Committee and House Health, Welfare, and Institutions Committee.
