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 don't recall you bringing up the fact that the DEA is unionized and therefore federal anti-drug propoganda should be taken with a grain of salt. Must have slipped your mind.

I believe they call that "short term memory". It's completely blown out by too many drugs, if I recall correctly, but then again....I can't recall...

Militia vs Mexican mafia.

So they kill each other off. Something about two birds and a stone comes to mind.

"If they live in the state, why shouldn't they pay in state tution rates?"

Because by merely being in the U.S., they are in violation of federal law. Conservatives don't advocate rewarding criminality, or have you forgotten, oh brother of Santa Ana?

CBG doe not care if illegals violate the law. He only cares if Citizens violate the law. He's being true to his Clinton heritage.

I don't agree with your opinion, however I respect your right to profess it. Harrowup is mean and vindictive and besides that he/she is not nice. He/she is known to get on other sites to malign others without the same opinion.
