"Forde's organization is not directly connected to the more commonly known minutemen organization, Minutemen Civil Defense Corps or the Minutemen project run by Chris Simcox and James Gilchrist."
Just wanted to clear that up before the lefties come in and try to tear down a more respectable organization.
It appears that this lady was a few sandwiches short of a picnic, BUT, it should also be noted that her affiliation with M.A.D has absolutely nothing to do with this story. I'm not sure why the OP emphasizes that organization unless it was an attempt to inflame. She wasn't guarding the border when this crime occurred.
Ooops. Just found this. You might find it interesting.
"Jim Gilchrist is vouching for Shawndra on his website, tying in her husband's attack somehow and saying "hate crimes against patriots are now more prevalent as the economy weakens."
Shawna Forde, executive director of M.A.D. was arrested today with two others for killing two people last month.
Head of a minuteman group arrested for double homicide - KVOA News 4, Tucson, Arizona - (http://www.kvoa.com/Global/story.asp?S=10526106&nav=HMO5ZryK - broken link)
"TUCSON, AZ - Three people have been arrested in connection with last months deadly double homicide in Arivaca that left a nine-year-old and her father dead. One of the people arrested for the homicide is the National Executive Director of the Minuteman American Defense group (M.A.D.), a group known for patrolling the border, and is dedicated to "Defending America's Borders" according to their website - "http://minutemenamericandefense.org/
The sad truth here is that an innocent 9 year old and her father are dead because of 3 cold blooded criminals. The mastermind, Shawna Forde should have been under investigation.
She was a known nutjob!! If she would've at least been investigated further maybe 2 people couldn't been saved! Just take a look at this:
I fully support the Minutemen BUT they need to do background checks before they let anyone be a part of their organization or represent them in any way. No group can keep some nutcase away but there mmust be some checking done to protect whatever org you have.

Aren't you even slightly interested in the kinds of people who are starting such "Minutemen" organizations? "Inflame" what?
See, you're doing it again and don't think you realize it. This is about one persons and the way your comment is written makes it sound like you're saying she's typical of the Minutemen. If it's about "the kinds of people" who are starting Minuteman organizations, why talk only about her....what kinds of people started all the other ones?

Yes, I am talking about Shawna Forde. There were three people involved in the murders. Shawna Forde was one of them, and she is the executive director of Minutemen of American Defense (MAD). She used that name to advertise. That certainly makes me question others who just start up a "Minuteman" organization. Who knew that people used that name for such actions as Ms. Forde has displayed? So, just because the name Minutemen or Minuteman shows up, one should not blindly "trust" it. I don't know whether or not Ms. Forde is typical of the Minutemen.
Why don't YOU talk about the other Minutemen groups out there and who are the organizers, and members, so we will all know about them?
Didnt they also have a report about " left wing" also but that one didnt reach the front page of the papers
Maybe you can tell us about it.
