Border Militia: We'll Shut Down the Border with Machine Guns
Casey Nethercott is the leader of a militia group dubbed the Arizona Guard and said during a TV interview broadcast on Friday, "When this Minuteman thing is over, if it doesn't work, we're going to come out here and close the border with machine guns."
KVOA TV-4 in Tucson carried a report on Friday by reporter Nancy Perla that toured the group's compound that sits along the Arizona/Mexico border near Douglas, Arizona. The camera showed two older model American made SUV's, both painted black, that Nethercott claims are "armored vehicles" with "quarter-inch steel in them." Pointing again to the vehicles, Nethercott continued, "You'll get killed without them, here's been so many shootouts out here."
The camera then shows a concrete block wall riddled with bullet holes that Nethercott says came from drug smugglers. The report titled "Mimicman Projects" by KVOA calls them copy cats and says the project could begin on July 4, though Nethercott would release no details.
The Minuteman Project stated through Chris Simcox, who is an organizer for the project, that they don't support a violent solution. "I think anytime you go to that length to take the law into your own hands, you're asking for trouble," Simcox told KVOA.
The armed militia supports the Minuteman Project, but says that if they fail to close the border to illegal border crossers, his group will step in and be heavily armed to do the job.
I wonder which Federal Agency owns Casey Nethercott?
Thank you for saying it. Now, I don't have to.
American Dream? Uncontrolled immigration, whether illegal or legal, only serves to flood the labor pool, especially at the lower paying jobs. This increase in labor force drives the wage prices down, forcing the legal workers into illegal situations (under the table)or try and change professions. But not everyone is cut out to be a lawyer. Some people actually like doing an honest days work for an honest wage.
100 years ago in the US, a man could support his family as a brick layer. He could provide a shelter and food. His wife didn't have to work, but may have to make the ends meet.
No, you're wrong and your pal Spiff is also trying to raise flame just because I agree with Cbg, Ben and others on the issue of the MMP. He is also lying about the 'jihad' quote...that was in reference to my jihad at MMP before I knew what it was...once I found out through Tlbshow who provided a link, I reignited the jihad...had nothing to do with my comments regarding Republicans and conservatives, but since facts don't matter to Spiff he is being ignored. Pass it on.
Because Free Republic is littered with evidence of yours, Dane's, and Ficklin's alliance with harrowup in attacking the Minuteman Project with lies and slander. There is no evidence that Nethercott has anything to do with the Minuteman Project because he does not have anything to do with it. In fact, before the MMP started he actually said he was against it. Suddenly, in this article, he is reported by the leftist media outlet to "support" it.
He is a lone nut. Even Jack Foote had to break away from him.
Thank you, comrade.
Not lying goes against their moral character, or lack of it.
Sad, but O! so liberal.
Agreed.
Shame on you for injecting a logical question into this wunnerful fray! LOL..........
Who cares how long he is in his damn house. It is his house.
Why should he have to use a sledge hammer to destroy his own home because a contractor used illegals?
Christ people! get a damn life.
Not only the Minuteman Project but, for years, anything that indicated their favorite government entity was a joke when it came to protecting America.
It's about time.
No actual militia has been quoted on the media until this. What you seem to have been unable to glean from previous stories of the MinuteMan project, with your keen eye for detail, is the complete lack of connection between the MinuteMan project and any militia.
It was totally my Freudian slip showing. I inadvertantly substituted the word militia for MinuteMan...and to further compound my gaff, didn't realize that the two groups were separate entities. My apologies.
I love ya!!
Lying and smearing used as tactics by some here in place of conservative values. Face it, the republican big tent has gotten far too big. Apparently, we now have to accept aclu republicans and splc republicans.
I suppose 100 years ago a man could make a fine living in a buggy whip shop too. That doesn't mean we should stop society to keep him employed in that line of work.
