"Minutemen" was used in the title of the article. And it does seem that she was running an orgianzation which was devoted to the same goals as any "Minutemen" group, IMO.
Aren't you even slightly interested in the kinds of people who are starting such "Minutemen" organizations? "Inflame" what?
I'm posting about some very recent news. Period.
Everyone whines that we shouldn't stereotype muslims after 9/11, so why should we stereotype anyone else.
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/
I understand perfectly fine. Thanks for your concern, but I stand by my comments. The OP is attempting to fan the "right-wing extremism" frenzy that pervades this forum. Certainly you're not trying to deny that?
Inflame to a frenzy? On these boards?
Gotta admit it isn't hard to do that. Not the rightwingers who post around here. I'm amazed at what can inflame them...... But the subject was very close to the headline of the linked article. No sensationalism, hyperbole or hysterics. Can't fault someone for that.
"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.
Well it seems the spin to implicate the Minutemen is an even more interesting story! I am so sick of this misinformation!
The truth is bad enough it does not need to be embelished.
Ahhh, she already has a reputation here at C/D....... Well, now she's in big trouble! This will be a nasty trial.
Search "Shawna Forde" over in Immigration -- there are at least two threads, though they're a few months old, detailing her sad saga.
