Right Wing Terrorism Watch - Anti-Immigrant leader arrested, connected to murders of Hispanic people

[ck4829]

An outspoken anti-immigration activist from Everett has been arrested in Arizona in connection to a deadly home invasion robbery.

Shawna Forde, the executive director of the Minutemen American Defense, is one of three accused in the shooting deaths of 29-year-old Raul Flores and his daughter, 9-year-old Brisenia Flores, at their home in Arivaca, Ariz., a town 10 miles north of the Mexican border.

Two others - 34-year-old Jason Bush and 42-year-old Albert Gaxiola - were arrested. All three have been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, one count of first-degree burglary and one count of aggravated assault.

According to the Pima County Sheriff's Office, two men and a woman posing as police officers forced their way into the Flores ' home in the middle of the night on May 30.

It is not known exactly what transpired next, but Raul Flores and his daughter were shot and killed. The girl's mother was wounded and is recovering in a local hospital, deputies said.

2. I'm glad the word's getting out about this

This is beyond awful. A NINE YEAR OLD girl FFS - may all 3 murderers burn in hell. When are people going to wake up and take the DHS report seriously and realise that right-wing extremism IS a threat? :grr: :mad:


RIP Raul and Brisenia Flores, and God bless Mrs. Flores - she'll need all the help she can get to get through this. :-(

5. I do. Many of these minutemen types are petty criminals.

There is a documentary that Link plays every so often that shows a lot of them have DUIs and drug convictions and spousal abuse records, theft and dealing. They also tend to get into fights and shoot each other a lot.

7. That may be true but "...two men and a woman posing as police officers

forced their way into the Flores ' home in the middle of the night on May 30".

This does not look like robbery - more like forced entry to commit murder.

8. I see what you mean. Right. Yeah, they probably did intend to murder them.

I just meant, it's both, not either.

4. From the article:

the sheriff described the woman as a dangerous, unstable person.

"If you look at her history closely and you know what we know, she's, at best, a psychopath," Dupnik said.

6. Has this been carried by M$Greedia's cable wing? n/t
