New evidence released by the prosecution shows that Minuteman child killer, shown sitting arrogantly during her arraignment, was in possession of jewelery belonging to the mother of 9 year old murder victim Brisenia Flores

New evidence released by the prosecution shows that Minuteman child killer, shown sitting arrogantly during her arraignment, was in possession of jewelery belonging to the mother of 9 year old murder victim Brisenia Flores

Those were the last 6 words to come out of the mouth of 9 year old Brisenia Flores, who after witnessing her father murdered and her mother shot, was then killed with two shots to the head!

Laine Lawless, dyke activist and ardent defender of Minutemen child killer Shawna Forde, made these statements on the website Immigration Talk with a Mexican American, which has been following the saga of Shawna Forde since last January. Lawless is also responsible for the two websites defending this murderer, Justice for Shawna Forde and Shawna Forde.com

These words from Lawless will come back to haunt her:

What “mountain of evidence?” A coerced confession, possibly made under torture, is all the PCSO has on Shawna. No circumstantial, no DNA, no weapons, no fingerprints, none of the above. You can’t make a case out of an involuntary confession. Read a law book on evidence. Shawna will go free!
And for the record, Shawna herself has told me she dislikes racists. But then all you know about her is what you read in the lamestream media.

About that bullet in Jason Bush’s leg…where is it now? Was it taken out and kept as evidence? After all, if it came from Gina Gonzalez’ gun, it would be traceable to that gun, wouldn’t it? Bullet, bullet, who’s got the bullet? Does anyone know? And if the blood left at the crime scene has JB’s DNA on it, would that mean he was the gunman? It would prove he was at the scene and he got shot. Apply some logic to this case instead of media-inflamed hatred. We probably won’t know for some time what really happened, so why assume everyone in custody is guilty, just because the media did a good propaganda job?………….

New evidence has surfaced in the PROSECUTORS RESPONSE to Forde’s Motion for Severance, that if true, and there is no need to doubt it, put the needle in Shawna’s arm, as well as her co-defendents.

A man I am privileged to call a friend, Scott North, of the Everett Herald reports that more slaying scene evidence is linked to Shawna Forde

Jason Bush is accused of killing a homeless man, a white supremacist, a suspected drug dealer and a 9-year-old Brisenia Flores. This would be so damned funny if it weren’t for the needless death of Brisenia Flores and her father Raul. And sadly, this is typical of the larger movement of border vigilantes who call themselves “Minutemen”!

The Meadview, Ariz., resident even hints he was working undercover investigating Minutemen child killer Shawna Forde, the head of the militia, when Raul Flores Jr. and Flores’ daughter, Brisenia, were murdered on May 30.

“I didn’t do it,” Bush said. “I’m not guilty of what they’ve charged me with, I’ll say that.”

The differences between what authorities say, what court documents state and what Bush says are stark.

Ultimately, jurors in two separate states will decide which is the truth.

According to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, the Floreses were killed by intruders dressed in camouflage and pretending to be law-enforcement officers. Flores’ wife was shot and injured, but managed to shoot Bush in the leg, authorities said.

Bush was arrested and indicted on first-degree murder charges along with Forde, an Everett, Wash., resident, and Albert Gaxiola of Arivaca.

Authorities speculate Forde, the founder of a border-watch group called Minutemen American Defense, targeted the home because she knew Flores was involved in drug trafficking and wanted to steal his money and drugs to fund the Minutemen’s activities. Minutemen American Defense and Shawna Forde have been conclusively linked to other Minutemen organizations including Chris Simcox’s Minutemen Civil Defense Corps, Glenn Spencer’s American Border Patrol, Jim Gilchrist’s Minutemen Project and other more radical organizations including Mountain Minutemen, whose claim to fame is the murder of an illegal migrant in the deserts of California.

Forde’s brother, Merrill Metzger, said Forde had recently begun recruiting members of the Aryan Nations for her mission.

Web site calls him a veteran

Although military officials have no record of Bush having ever served, the Minutemen American Defense Web site describes him as a military veteran who served numerous tours overseas and was in charge of all operations for the organization along the southern border.

He is referred to repeatedly as “Gunny” — military shorthand for a Marine Corps gunnery sergeant.

“I take a very hard line with drugs and illegal immigration. Make no bones about it, I have a zero tolerance for terrorists, and that is what they are,” Bush is quoted as saying on the Web site.

According to Bush, however, he has never been a member of the Minutemen American Defense or the military.
Bush said he is in favor of opening the border and has only received some “unconventional” military training, the details of which he declined to disclose.

Anything about him on the Minutemen American Defense Web site was Forde’s doing, Bush said. “I think she was trying to lend some sort of legitimacy to her so-called movement,” he said.

Bush describes himself as a self-employed engineer whose part-time job is to “compile profiles and dossiers” on various people for employers he declined to identify and for reasons he declined to give.

“I have signed nondisclosure agreements. Other than that, I can’t get deep into it without talking to my attorney,” Bush said.

“It’s part of my defense on why I’m down here in the first place and my motive.”

The self-proclaimed devout Christian said he has done a lot of research on Minutemen organizations and their members, but again declined to say why.

Bush said he “came into contact” with Forde through the Southern Poverty Law Center “as a person of interest.”

The center, which tracks hate groups, has been a “great source of information,” Bush said.

Mark Potok, director of the center’s intelligence project, said the organization became aware of Bush only after his arrest. As for being a source of information for Bush, Potok said, “that is total, utter hogwash. We’ve had no dealings with ‘Gunny’ Bush, and we don’t want to.”

Bush declined to comment on what happened the night of the slayings other than to say he didn’t know the victims and he never confessed — contrary to what the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has said.

He said all he knows about the slayings is what’s he’s read in police reports, which seem to indicate there are suspects who still haven’t been arrested, Bush said.

“I have no independent knowledge of who they are,” Bush said.

Asked if he was at the Flores home that night or if he had an alibi, Bush said, “I can’t talk about anything that night. I’m going to have to leave that to a defense attorney. That’s really touchy stuff.”

As for the gunshot wound to his leg, which authorities said he got during the home invasion, Bush replied, “I can’t really talk about that; that’s part of my defense.”

When asked if he truly believes drug traffickers and illegal immigrants are “terrorists,” Bush initially laughed and then began to choke up.

“No. I believe terrorists are people who invade people’s homes in the middle of the night and shoot families,” Bush said. “I believe terrorists are people that have the ability and the knowledge to stand up and take responsibility for their own actions and choose not to and let someone else sit and rot in prison for their inaction.”

Denies Aryan Nations claim

Bush also denies being a member of the Aryan Nations.

“I’d make a piss-poor white supremacist,” Bush said. “If that were true, half of my family tree would have to have been annihilated. Hitler didn’t care too much for gypsies and Jews, and I have a lot of Native American influence.”

Officials in two Washington state counties, however, say Bush’s racist views led him to kill two men in that state in 1997.

Bush is charged in the July 1997 stabbing death of Hector Lopez-Partida, a homeless man who died in Wenatchee, and the September 1997 death of Jon Bumstead, an 18-year-old white supremacist from East Wenatchee.

Bush was tied to Lopez-Partida’s death after his arrest in the Flores deaths; his DNA was found in the armpit of a shirt found at the murder scene.

According to Douglas County court records obtained by the Star this week, an informant told detectives he, Bush, Bumstead and another friend were camping together when Bush shot Bumstead in the back and the head.

He hadn’t come forward until now because Bush had threatened to kill him and his family, the man told police. He was 17 at the time of the slaying.

The other friend confirmed what the first informant told detectives and said he was so afraid of Bush he moved his family to the Midwest to get away.

Court documents indicate a third informant told detectives Bush admitted killing both men. “Confidential Informant No. 2″ told detectives Bush wore gold laces in his boots, identifying him as an Aryan Nations member who has committed a murder. The man said Bush told him he’d killed Bumstead because “he was a traitor to the race and a Jew.”

Court documents also indicate the FBI confirmed Bush was spotted at an Aryan Nations compound for three days following Lopez-Partida’s death and at a “racial identity seminar” the month following Bumstead’s death.
Bush says he has an alibi for Lopez-Partida’s slaying. He had not been charged in Bumstead’s slaying at the time of the Star’s interview with him.

Death penalty possible

The Pima County Attorney’s Office has until the end of the month to decide if prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty.

It’s a possibility Bush says weighs heavy on his mind.

The Idaho native asked for the interview with the Star, not only to proclaim his innocence but to send a message of love to his family and, hopefully, get help for his county-paid attorney, Chris Kimminau.

Bush knows the case is getting national attention and admits that he hopes to put together an entire defense team that is willing to work for free.

“I have a very defendable position, but even a very defendable position requires more resources than what we have available,” Bush said.

“The prosecuting attorney has limitless resources, thousands of police officers to investigate for them and forensics, labs and technicians. … I have a county-funded attorney and a private investigator. Those are my resources. Facing what I’m facing, it’s kind of scary.

“I’m praying for a miracle. You’ve got to understand, I’m fighting for my life.”

Their next court date is August 18, in Pima County (Az) Superior Court.

Those of us who exposed Minutemen Child Killer Shawna Forde and her group are praying for a miracle also. That an honest jury of 12, a rarity in southern Arizona it seems, can be seated and have the balls to pass judgement on these scum. We also pray that this cowardly bastard is present at the execution of the others to give him pause for thought at what awaits him. We also pray, that the racist cunt Shawna Forde, incarcerated in a facility where 75% of the inmates are latina, might also receive peers justice and save the county the expense of a trial!

Minuteman child killer Jason "Gunny" Bush, shown here at his arraignment for the murder of 9 yo Brisenia Flores, has been charged in the 1997 racial slaying of Jonathon Bumstead. Bail has been set at $1 million dollarsThe Wenatchee World is reporting that the triggerman for Minutemen child killer Shawna Forde, has been charged in the 1997 racially motivated murder of Jonathon Bumstead.

Jason Eugene “Gunny” Bush, 34, was charged with first-degree murder in Douglas County Superior Court in the shooting death of Jonathan Bumstead. Bail was set at $1 million for Bush, who is in Pima County Jail in Arizona, charged in a double-murder home invasion in that state in May of 9 yo Brisenia Flores and her father Raul

Bush denied killing Bumstead in an interview with a Wenatchee police officer.

He was charged last month in Chelan County Superior Court with second-degree murder in the 1997 fatal stabbing of Hector Lopez Partida in Wenatchee.

Bush will likely be prosecuted first in Arizona, said Kellie Johnson, deputy county attorney for Pima County and one of two prosecutors assigned to Bush’s case. She said after his case is resolved there, Chelan and Douglas counties can ask to have him transferred to Washington to be tried for murder. But if he is found guilty of the Arizona murders, he would serve his prison time there before serving any time in Washington, she said.

A probable cause document released this week lays out the case.

Bumstead’s body was found in the Douglas Creek area of the Palisades on Sept. 21, 1997. Bumstead had been shot twice: once in the back and once in the head. He was found on a rocky abandoned railroad bed near the entrance to a tunnel.

Spent cartridges from a .22-caliber rifle, a .270-caliber rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun were found near his body. Before his death, Bumstead’s parents had reported the theft of a 12-gauge shotgun and a .270 rifle from their home.

At the time of his death, Bumstead was a self-proclaimed white supremacist, according to the document. He was wearing black boots, black pants, suspenders and a camouflage shirt when he was killed.

In the 11 years since his death, about 70 people have been interviewed, some of them multiple times. None admitted having any direct knowledge of the murder.

Information about Bumstead’s death was discovered during the recent investigation by Wenatchee police into Lopez’s death.

Like the Bumstead murder in Douglas County, Wenatchee police had no suspects in the Lopez murder until last January, when the state crime lab completed a DNA analysis of a bloody shirt found near Lopez’s body. The analysis found blood that belonged to Lopez and Bush.

Local police were notified by the Pima County Sheriff’s Office in June that Bush had been arrested for the May 30 home invasion killing of a man and his 9-year-old daughter.

Wenatchee police Sgt. John Kruse interviewed Bush in jail in Arizona on June 14 about the Lopez murder. Bush admitted to being friends with Bumstead and that he used to go camping with him.

Kruse then interviewed a confidential informant, who said Bush had told him he killed three people in the Wenatchee area. The informant told Kruse that Bush specifically told him that he, Bush, and another man killed a man because he was a “Mexican” in Wenatchee, and killed Bumstead.

Kruse interviewed Bush a second time on June 16 and asked him whether he killed Bumstead. Bush denied it.

Kruse contacted Douglas County Sheriff’s Det. Steve Groseclose with the new information, and the two officers interviewed the informant together. The informant said Bush and a third person came to visit him at his home in Idaho in summer 1997, Bush showed the informant a Wenatchee World article about Lopez’s death and said he, Bush, had stabbed Lopez with a knife.

The informant said Bush visited him again in September and told him, “I can’t believe I had to do this.”

The informant “said Jason Bush told him he had to take care of a brother … because he (the brother) was a traitor to the race and a Jew,” the court document states.

The informant said Bush told him the traitor was Bumstead.

He said Bush told him they lured Bumstead to the area where he was killed by telling him they were going camping.

The informant identified the third person who was allegedly with Bush during the killings of Lopez and Bumstead. That person, who was 17 at the time of Bumstead’s death, had previously been interviewed by Douglas County detectives investigating the murder.

On July 6, Kruse and Groseclose interviewed that man at his home in the Southwest. During the interview, Groseclose said he admitted that he was present when Bush stabbed Lopez and when Bush shot Bumstead.

He told the officers that he, Bush, Bumstead and a fourth person planned to go shooting and drinking in the Douglas Creek area. They went to Bumstead’s home and got two guns, then went to Walmart to buy ammunition. They bought beer at a convenience store.

He said Bush drove the group to Douglas Creek in his red Chevy S-10 Blazer. They arrived after dark. The man said he was shooting Bush’s .22 rifle, Bumstead was shooting a rifle and Bush was shooting a rifle that came from Bumstead’s house.

About five minutes after they arrived at Douglas Creek, Bush shot Bumstead in the back. He said Bush then walked up to Bumstead and shot him a second time in the head. Bush then buried the gun he used and another shotgun.

The witness told Kruse and Groseclose that he was afraid Bush would kill him or harm his family if he ever discussed either murder.

The two officers then spoke to the fourth person who was supposedly present when Bumstead was killed. That person was reluctant to speak with the officers, saying Bush threatened to murder him and his family if he ever said anything.

Groseclose traveled to the man’s home in the Midwest to interview him.

He told the officer that after Bush killed Bumstead, he pointed the rifle first at one of the witnesses and then at the other, saying he would kill them and their families if they said anything. The man said he took off running at that point, and Bush chased after him in his Blazer and pointed the rifle at him and told him to get in the vehicle.

They stopped after that and Bush buried the guns.

The man told Groseclose he moved to the Midwest to hide from Bush.

Police conducted a search for the guns, but still have not found them. The Sheriff’s Office is planning to do more searches.

None of the informants are identified in court documents.

“These witnesses believe Jason Bush continues to be a threat to them because of their knowledge of the murders,” Groseclose wrote in the affidavit. “Jason Bush has been an active member of Aryan Nations groups and the Minutemen group in Arizona. The witnesses believe Jason Bush’s connection to these groups could provide him with the ability to harm them or their families.”

Jason Eugene "Gunny" Bush, triggerman in the murder of Brisenia Flores and member of child killer Minuteman Shawna Forde, has been implicated, by DNA evidence, in the murder of a Washington state teen, Jonathon Bumstead.Jason E. Bush, suspected in the slayings of a transient in Wenatchee in 1997 and of two Arizona residents this year, is also a suspect in the 1997 killing of Jonathan Bumstead of East Wenatchee, say officials with Douglas County and the city of Wenatchee.

Bumstead’s body was found, shot in the back and head, in the Douglas Creek area of Palisades on Sept. 21, 1997. He was 18.

Bush, 34, has ties to the Aryan Nations white-supremacist movement, which may be a factor in the Bumstead case, authorities said.

Drugs had long been suspected as the motive in the killing but, at a news conference called Monday afternoon by Douglas County sheriff’s deputies and Wenatchee police, no motive was given. Sheriff Harvey Gjesdal, whose office is handling the investigation, referred questions about motive to an affidavit of probable cause that was written by Douglas County Detective Steve Groseclose and given to Prosecutor Steve Clem.

Clem, contacted by telephone, said the document will not be a public record until it is filed with the county clerk’s office. He said he had not yet had time to read the affidavit and that it may not be filed until next week.

Asked to read the report and see if a motive was mentioned, Clem took time to read, then said, “It’s difficult to really tell clearly what the motive is. The statements are all inferences. It has something to do with Jason Bush’s involvement in Aryan Nations activities and Jonathan Bumstead’s involvement or affinity for Aryan nations stuff.”

The possible connection of Bush to the Bumstead case came as Wenatchee police were investigating Bush as a suspect in the 1997 slaying of Hector Manuel Lopez Partida, 29. Lopez was stabbed seven times July 24, 1997, while sleeping near the 700 block of South Wenatchee Avenue.

Confidential informants in that case told Wenatchee detectives that they knew about Bush’s involvement in the Bumstead case. Detectives said that the confidential informants agreed to talk now because Bush is in jail awaiting prosecution on other murder charges. Previously, the informants said, they feared for their safety and that of their families if they talked about the Bumstead murder.

Among the confidential informants was a person who said he or she was present at both the Lopez and the Bumstead murders, and that Bush said after the murder that Bumstead was killed “because he was a traitor to the race,” said Wenatchee Detective John Kruse. Another informant was present at only the Bumstead murder, he said.

Groseclose said Bush and Bumstead were friends but declined to be more specific.

The detectives said the confidential informants said they had no warning ahead of time that the murders would take place and that they were traumatized by them. Both informants now live out of state.

Kruse said three other confidential informants were involved. One said Bush mentioned that he committed both the Lopez and the Bumstead murders. Another said Bush talked about killing two people in the Wenatchee area. And a third said that Bush confessed to the Lopez murder.

Bush is in jail in Pima County, Ariz., on murder charges unrelated to the Wenatchee crimes. His attorney, Christian Kimminau declined to comment.

Bush was arrested in June as a suspect in a May 30 double slaying in Arivaca, Ariz., in Pima County, with two other suspects — Shawna Forde, 41, and Albert Robert Gaxiola, 42. All have been charged with two counts each of first-degree murder and other charges, said Sheriff Clarence Dupnik of Pima County, Ariz.

The three are alleged to have dressed as law enforcement officers and forced their way into a home about 10 miles north of the Mexican border, wounding a woman and fatally shooting her husband and their 9-year-old daughter. Their motive was financial, Dupnik has said.

About the same time as the Arizona murders, Wenatchee police sent out a law-enforcement bulletin naming Bush as a suspect in the Lopez case. That link came from DNA evidence.

In 1997, police found a shirt near the Lopez crime scene. That evidence was reprocessed recently to take advantage of new technology. Blood on the shirt came from Lopez, police said, and DNA on the shirt was linked to Bush. His DNA had been entered into a nationwide DNA data bank when he was incarcerated for earlier property crimes.

Police have said Bush has ties to anti-immigration and white-supremacist groups. The two Arizona homicide victims and Partida are Hispanic. Wenatchee police say they believe the Wenatchee killing of Lopez was racially motivated.

A police report by Kruse, filed in Chelan County Superior Court, said, “I have learned Bush has had long-standing ties to Aryan Nations groups that commonly believe in white superiority over other races and have been known to be violent towards non-white races. He espoused these beliefs to associates in Wenatchee in 1997.”

An informant told Kruse “that in the summer or fall of 1997 Bush told him/her that he and another man killed a man because he was a ‘Mexican,’ ” Kruse’s affidavit said.

Bumstead’s father, Jon Bumstead of East Wenatchee, was at the Monday press conference and thanked officers for their efforts in finding a suspect in his son’s case.

“Until we get an arrest, this is great that this is happening, but it’s not done,” he said.

Bumstead said his wife, Frieda, was too upset by the news about an arrest to attend the press conference. He said they may speak about their feelings at a later time.

The Bumsteads have said over the years that their son had a drug problem and that they thought he was killed because of it. They have written numerous letters to The Safety Valve at The Wenatchee World, asking that their son’s case not be forgotten, and they have spoken to civic groups about the dangers of drugs.
