Alleged Home Invasion Murder suspects [are] criminals, not "Minutemen"
Borderfire Report ^ | June 19, 2009 | CARMEN MERCER

Posted on 06/20/2009 3:02:54 PM PDT by smokingfrog

Carmen Mercer President of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps extends the sympathies for the loss of life in an unfortunate criminal act of violence that led to the deaths of a father and 9-year-old girl during a home invasion in Arivaca, Arizona.

"Our entire country and especially our border region with Mexico has been plagued by senseless violence for decades. It seems the violence can almost always be traced back to illegal drugs and the crimes and corruption it breeds. That is definitely the case in the Arivaca murders."

"This is nothing more than criminals preying on criminals for profit and out of greed, with no regard for human life."

"Since the drug cartels have taken over the Human Slave trade routes over 20,000 people have died on both sides of the border and thousands have perished alone in our southwestern deserts. Many of those left to die in the desert, raped or sold into the sex slave industry are innocent people.

We wish the media would give the same amount of attention to the tens of thousands of senseless murders committed by terrorist drug cartels and human smugglers and connect those who support open borders as accomplices in the deaths and victimization of thousands by smugglers who deal in human misery for profit."

"The media continues to flame the fires of ethnic friction and faux racism through their ridiculous reporting that this is a Minuteman crime - the media is irrational and reckless in perpetrating this despicable propaganda."

"The Arivaca home invasion had nothing to do with the Minutemen, nothing to do with race or illegal immigration, it had to do with psychopathic criminals preying on other criminals -

The May 30 killings rocked an anti-illegal immigration movement that prides itself on being vocal but not violent, and added to a growing list of activists accused of using violence to advance their aims.

Forde and two men dressed up as Border Patrol agents and broke into the southern Arizona home of a man they thought was a drug dealer, hunting for money or drugs to sell. They found neither, but killed the man and his 9-year-old daughter.

This is the first time I've heard about this "growing list". I'm guessing the writer chose not to enlighten us with all the other names.

Arivaca is a small ‘cowtown’ about 30 miles SW of Tucson. It is on the crossroads of some of the most flagrant routes of the illegal trade in humans and drugs in this area of Arizona. It is a blinkin’ war zone and a constant danger to unarmed citizens. Even the INS people will not travel alone down there. Go armed or don’t go there!

FNC spewed the same angle. I personally saw FNC parrot the identical profile.

FNC is popular with the easily led lemmings who for whatever reason, think it's some kind of conservative television broadcast station.

The Kos schmucks keep referring to her pitiful band as “Minutemen”, hoping no one will notice and the outrage will spread.
