These ARE right wing extremists. You wish to ignore their political motivations regarding this scheme.

I am ignoring their(or anyone else's for that matter) political motivations. Simple fact is, a crime was committed. Every criminal action in this world is not politically motivated. As I also stated, the death of someone(anyone) is sad, and the death of a child is even worse.

I wonder how long it would take to find a link pointing to a liberal Democrat having been convicted of molesting a child and making the leap to claim all liberal Democrats are child molesters?

While it was a fine effort at pointless trolling (in keeping with the content of a substantial percentage of your posts) this wasn't even a good attempt at demonizing those whose beliefs differ from yours.

Get a life.
The information about Forde is not trolling. That was a high profile case. I remember reading about Forde and her Minutemen organization a couple of years ago. The outcome of the trial is newsworthy and interesting.

I didn't make the connection you seem to think was the motive for posting this thread. This woman is a criminal and she had organized her own group using the name Minutemen in it. That attracts attention.

So you're saying that guarding the border to stop people from illegally crossing is not political?

The article said the woman had stated that her motive for going after the man who was killed was to rob him to fund her organization. She chose him to rob because she believed he was a drug dealer.

She had her own small independent group. Her group was not part of the well known Minutemen group.

The title of the thread is misleading.

It needs to be changed.

Her actions were her own and had nothing to do with the Minutemen as a whole.

Can you provide any links to the organization supporting her actions? Did they provide funding for her legal defense? Have they spoken on her behalf?

She was a criminal. Attempting to link her actions to the Minutemen is disingenuous and little other than a twisted attempt at political one-upsmanship.

I don't make the claim that any organizations support her actions.

I know gullible, hate filled right wing individuals act on their own spurred on by right wing paranoia and bigotry.

Did you not read my statement? Read it again and answer for yourself. I Do Not Care About Anyone's Political Party, got it? A Crime Was Committed, That Is All That Matters......
