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.

"The sign of desperation."

Nope, the sign having caught a left-wing troll and disruptor!

Thanks for just deleting the silliness and not pulling the entire thread!

Well this is one way to finally get the US military on our border.

And not for the first time, either:

I'm at a loss to understand how your side claims the sky is falling and we're beeing 'attacked' by the Mexicans, and we must pick up arms and run to the border, yet you shy away from a simple discussion with someone because they're mean?

"We have Nicaragua, soon we will have El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Mexico. One day, tomorrow or five years or fifteen years from now, we're going to take 5 to 10 million Mexicans and they are going into Dallas, into El Paso, into Houston, into New Mexico, into San Diego, and each one will have embedded in his mind the idea of killing ten Americans." --Thomas Borge, Nicaragua Interior Minister as quoted in the Washington Times, March 27, 1985

Same here - why was this article about hothead Nethercott even posted? While he's been thoroughly discredited for his over-the-top militancy he has the dubious honor of being the first native-born citizen slammed by the Patriot Act. If not for Governor Napolitano's axe-grinding this guy would have been off the radar long ago.

The poster consistantly refers to the Minuteman Project as "MMK" so she posted the article for the sole purpose of instigating argument.

Please pardon my attempt to inject some levity here.

Will do.

What makes you think he's not already done so?

The incident in question happened over 2 years ago, so if JJ had complained, and if I had committed some kind of crime, I would have been fired.

Since that did not happen, either he did not complain, or IA did not pursue the frivolous complaint. Since the Mods have asked throwup and me to stop arguing, I'll not longer reply to your idiotic posts as well.
