Arizona Border Militia: "We'll Shut Down the Border with Machine Guns"

Border Militia: We'll Shut Down the Border with Machine Guns

The National Ledger
April 09, 2005

Casey Nethercott is the leader of a militia group dubbed the Arizona Guard and said during a TV interview broadcast on Friday, "When this Minuteman thing is over, if it doesn't work, we're going to come out here and close the border with machine guns."

KVOA TV-4 in Tucson carried a report on Friday by reporter Nancy Perla that toured the group's compound that sits along the Arizona/Mexico border near Douglas, Arizona. The camera showed two older model American made SUV's, both painted black, that Nethercott claims are "armored vehicles" with "quarter-inch steel in them." Pointing again to the vehicles, Nethercott continued, "You'll get killed without them, here's been so many shootouts out here."

The camera then shows a concrete block wall riddled with bullet holes that Nethercott says came from drug smugglers. The report titled "Mimicman Projects" by KVOA calls them copy cats and says the project could begin on July 4, though Nethercott would release no details.

The armed militia supports the Minuteman Project, but says that if they fail to close the border to illegal border crossers, his group will step in and be heavily armed to do the job.

1. If they open fire
they will be locked away for a long time with a combination of attempted murder and murder charges. They will be held accountable to the full extent of the law and the entire movement will be discredited as wingnuts with guns.

:eyes:

Why aren't we rounding up THESE guys and putting THEM in jail? These militias are gangs no different than mobsters and any police blotter in any county that they reside in will show that they are responsible for many of the petty robberies and other crimes in those area.

But, all you law and order Americans, just keep sticking your heads in the sand until they day they do it to you.

6. He'll just get one of his gofers to go steal it out of the unpicked field.
The farmer by that time should be really good and mad while he watches his crop rot unpicked on the field.

5. Don't shoot, Casey!

Nethercott himself was jailed in Arizona in March and handed over to Texas authorities. He's now awaiting a June 7 criminal trial in Jim Hogg County in south Texas on three felony charges for allegedly beating two illegal immigrants he helped detain there last year.

"They made it up," Nethercott said of the charges. "If I had pistol- whipped these people, they'd have been dead. ... They're making me out to be a racist and a liar, and they're lying."
