Minutemen Charged With Two Murders

There's a group of vigilantes who are trying to pass themselves off as heroes by patrolling our southern border. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has been trying to warn Americans that these vigilantes, who call themselves the Minutemen American Defense (MAD), are little more than a racist hate group. But now it looks like the SPLC has underestimated the criminality of the group.

The executive director of the group, Shawna Forde (pictured), and two of her Minutemen associates have been arrested and charged with a double murder -- the murder of a 9 year-old girl and her father.

Pima County (Arizona) Sheriff Clarence Dupnik has arrested Forde, saying, “She’s, at best, a psychopath." He accused her of orchestrating a “home invasion where the plan was to kill all the people inside this trailer because they might be witnesses, and rob them.”

Evidently, Forde thought a family living in a mobile home had money and possibly drugs. She recruited MAD's Operations Director, Jason Eugene "Gunny" Bush, and another MAD member, Albert Robert Gaxiola. The three of them broke into the trailer of Raul Flores, his wife and their daughter, Brisenia, who was 9 years old.

After breaking in, they shot and killed Mr. Flores and his daughter. Mrs. Flores, who was also shot, retrieved a weapon and returned fire, wounding Gaxiola. The three MAD members then fled. It is unknown whether they actually were able to get any money or drugs.

It is believed Ms. Forde was trying to get money to further the activities of her racist group. To her and her cohorts, murdering a Hispanic family in cold blood was perfectly permissable, as long as it gave them money to continue their "border patrols".

Do we really want this nutty group patrolling our southern border? How much longer before they kill someone else for the crime of having brown skin or a Hispanic name?

    No, we only want our country to enforce the laws of the land. Please do not put these wack jobs into the category of every other Minuteman group, these people are not what the organizations are about. Ask Ted Hayes in LA, he is a minuteman and a proud Black one.

    It is Not about color, it about enforceing the laws of the land, just like a neighborhood watch, just like the Angeles in Chiago keeping the peace for the community.
