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.
Hey, if you guys have a problem, please get off FR to discuss it. I support you and can never support "that person" but it's best you don't air your dirty laundry in public. Good God, please, send private emails!!!
I've noticed quite a lot of that!

Because we ARE being attacked by millions! I for one do not "shy away" from discussion. I've never dissed you other than you are WRONG! As far as shying away from someone because they are "mean". There is no discussion from "those type" of people.
Knock it off. Both of you. I don't care who started it. Just knock it off.
So you're saying that you're in favor of a state willfully ignoring the fact that a person is a fugitive from federal justice and, moreover, to reward them for their criminal behavior?

This post is pure unadulterated BS, and the poster knows it.
Yep, you know where you've been spreading meanness. Is that your conscience responding? Hmmm, didn't think you had one...
Sorry, ok.
