Interestingly enough, I received a call over the weekend from a reporter from The Mainichi Newspapers, Los Angeles Bureau one of Japans largest news services asking me about border vigilante JT Ready. It reminded me of a comment Ready made on the Seattle Daily Weekly on 7/21/2009, a couple of months after Forde and company committed these murders. JT Ready commented:
Neo Nazi JT Ready and sidekick Harry Hughes made another foray into the Arizona desert Wednesday where they encountered and kidnapped ( kidnapping being holding someone against their will) 11 suspected undocumented migrants. Hughes recounts the adventure on his blog JUST ANOTHER DAY. To hear Hughes describe their little adventure, it was a “humanitarian effort”. Apparently, they went into the desert prepared for a media circus as they conveniently “discovered” ski masks and burlap and rope contraptions they claim drug mules wear to haul their cargo. Ready and Hughs, as well as their friend Jan Brewer can’t get their stories straight apparently. The mules bring the drugs in backpacks, such as kids use for their school books, or so we’ve MORE
Fresh off the campaign trail for nativist attorney Kris Korbach, where another of Sheriff Joe’s phony bomb threats occurred, the badge carrying assklown of Maricopa County announced his 16th terror assault on the counties Hispanic population, this time with a twist. Following the lead of his buddy and fellow nutcase JT Ready, Arpaio is targeting the Vekol Valley in the Gila Bend area and he’s bringing out the “big guns”. According to Phoenix New Times:
JT Ready’s campout next to Interstate 8 in Arizona this past weekend, produced some interesting characters, including this “Patriot” who came all the way from Utah to smooze with the Neo Nazis and care for the chihuahua, “Tinkerbell” (how appropriate) belonging to Ready’s token minority, “Apache Tracker” Will Boggs. Lemmons reports; The mild-mannered “Shawn” of the Utah Patriot Militia, who had flown from the Beehive State to camp out in the Vekol Valley with Ready, didn’t seem to grok the insanity of the situation either, though he spent several minutes telling me that one of his big goals was to get the militia movement to run background checks on everyone to weed out the bad apples, like, you know, neo-Nazis, I MORE
Apparently, J.T. Ready’s little soiree in the desert was a success, in his mind at least, and in ours, since he was unsuccessful in killing any Mexicans as seemed to be his intent. He was hampered though by the media entourage that accompanied him as his small group attacked and secured an abandoned building within sight of Interstate 8, hardly the securing of the border he had in mind. Stephen Lemmons of Phoenix New Times and acclaimed videographer Dennis Gilman were along for the ride, and Lemmon’s account of the weekend is so damned funny, we’ll let him tell it. It’s not every day that a well-known neo-Nazi offers to take you to a place called “the slaughterhouse.”
