As Minuteman Project Launches, Local Uses Handgun to Defend Himself Against Border Intruder
Spiff | 4 April 2005 | Spiff

Just as the controversial Minuteman Project was getting under way in Tombstone Friday night, a Cochise County resident was forced to use a handgun to defend himself from a menacing border intruder. The citizen, who wishes his name not be used, was visiting his girlfriend's home in one of the lower canyon areas on the east side of the Huachuca Mountains along Highway 92 when an angry border intruder charged him.

The home's yard and driveway have been the scene of many reports of illegal aliens being picked up by load vehicles. Recently, in the evenings, two or three load vehicles would pull into the driveway and yard, a driver would step out and wave a flag, and dozens of illegal aliens would come pouring out of the bushes across the street, into the driveway and yard, and then into the load vehicles. The woman who lives there has felt very threatened and has been forced to arm herself. Last week, on a single night, Border Patrol apprehended 50 illegal aliens right in her yard and driveway.

Friday night the man was walking in the street in front of his girlfriend's home. A large jackrabbit was frightened by something in the brush across from the home and came out into the road toward the citizen. He knew that he had not frightened the jackrabbit and determined that there may be someone in the brush where so many illegal aliens had been seen before. He started peering into the brush and suddenly an illegal alien came out from behind one of the trees. The border intruder was very large and menacing and looked right at the citizen in the street. He started to charge toward the citizen who was then forced to pull out his 9mm handgun and chamber a round. The citizen then held the weapon up where the intruder could see it but did not point it at the intruder. At that point the border intruder ceased his menacing charge and stopped and glared angrily at the citizen. The standoff only lasted a few seconds at which time the intruder flipped the citizen off and ran back into the bushes.

The resident immediately called the Border Patrol to report the incident and the intruder. An agent was dispatched and on the scene after more than 20 minutes. The agent said that he did not know the area and had not been briefed about the ongoing problems with the large groups of illegal aliens piling into load vehicles there. The agent and the Cochise County resident walked through the brush searching for the border intruder but he was not located.

The man later said that he was certain that if he had not drawn his weapon he would have been violently attacked by the border intruder. Both the man and the home owner are now planning to take the required training to receive an Arizona Concealed Carry Weapon Permit to further protect themselves. Neither are members of or are involved with the Minuteman Project in any way. Both work for defense contractors in the IT industry.

An area next to the canyon home has now become the site of one of many observation stations set up by the Minuteman Project. The owner of the home says that she feels safer now knowing that she's got other concerned citizens looking out for her and that some of them are armed in case she or anyone there is again threatened with violence.

I just heard Jim Gilchrist live from the Southern Arizona border mention that a credible threat has been issued to the Minuteman.

Stay tune for more details.

His interview on KFI happened a few moments ago and I've posted a breaking news link for the latest news.

Scary.

They could learn a lesson from Chicago.

Put in a few bollards, fill in the space in between with wrought iron, and then do a Charles Addamsesque filing job on the "decorative" spearheads.

A young and very beautiful girl I work with had made big plans for her new husbands birthday, last night he would celebrate with his guy friends, and tonite they would be in the "Arabian Nights" suite at the Ramada in Denton.

Instead he was attacked by a mob of illegals, five of his friends rushed to help him but being out numbered all five friends ended up in the hospital. The young brides husband is not expected to live and has taken a turn for the worse.

He has a badly fractured skull from a blow by a pool stick and a fractured ankle. A screw was placed in the top of his head to keep it perfectly still and tubes were run under his skull to drain off fluid build up. It's not working very well, they are keeping him in a coma, but cannot get his blood pressure down or pulse rate steady.
The trauma unit is doing all it can but it isn't looking good.

So instead of sitting in the hot tub in the "Arabian Nights" suite with his wife tonite, celebrating his birthday, he's fighting for his life. Thanks Bush, this can be laid right at your "People's House" door.

An agent was dispatched and on the scene after more than 20 minutes.

Get on the phone and call for a policeman, an ambulance, a fire truck, and a pizza. Then find out who gets there first.

More "slow motion terrorism" coming across our southern border. If the illegal aliens all massed together at one time and engaged in a high profile attack, we'd nuke them. But stuff like this happens all the time and yet the border is still wide open.

Hi janetgreen!

And thank you MINUTEMEN! I hope this results in a 365 days a year 24/7 citizens watch. I would volunteer for my vacation.

What a damn shame that we can't rely on our own government to stop this madness! I think it's called "taxation without representation" (again). Disgusting!
