The Corrupt Cowardice of Neo-Nazi J. T. Ready

Wednesday, May 2nd, self proclaimed neo Nazi, J. T. Ready murdered four people, including a 16-month old girl named Lily. Ready then shot himself. Gilbert, Arizona Police Sergeant Bill Balafas told the Los Angeles Times that this appeared to have been a domestic disturbance, and police have responded in the past to domestic disturbance calls at the home. Military munitions, numerous guns, including the gun allegedly used by Ready in the murders and two barrels of chemicals found behind the home were removed.

J. T. Ready was the founder of the U.S. Border guard, and a member of The Arizona Minutemen Project, a militia group dedicated to preserving the border between Arizona and the US. Ready had been quoted as saying “I firmly believe in having a minefield across the border.” J. T. Ready was also a former Marine, who was court-martialed and drummed out of the Corps.

On November 7th, 2009, The National Socialist Party marched and protested in Arizona. They waved American flags onto which they had placed swastikas, and many wore black uniforms. They shouted “Heil Hitler” while raising their right arms in a Nazi salute. And J. T. Ready attended and spoke at this “rally.” In June of 2007, J. T. Ready spoke at an anti-immigration rally in the shadow of the Arizona state capitol and then senator Russell Pearce was right there, applauding and grinning when Ready pointed out Pearce was not a politician, he was a “statesman.” Russell Pearce is once again running for state senate in Arizona, after being ousted during a recall election, and is endorsed by Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio.

Russell Pearce began to distance himself from Ready over the past few years. Even in Arizona, it does not sit well to “pal around” with a bonafide Nazi. Numerous media organizations have tried to goad Pearce into making a statement, but he staunchly refuses, saying this has nothing to do with him. Really.

Politicians like Jan Brewer, with her “headless corpses in the desert” statement, Russell Pearce with his authoring of SB 1070 and summary firing, Joe Arpaio and his insanity about birth certificates allow violent men like J. T. Ready to thrive and grow. Ready had a perfect platform for his hate, thanks to the Arizona GOP. And lest we forget, this is not the first time a member of an Arizona militia group slaughtered a family.

On May 30th, 2009, Shawna Forde, the leader of an offshoot unit of Minutemen, and her gang targeted the home of the Flores family. Forde and her companions, based on dubious information, believed the Flores’s home contained drugs and money, neither of which the Flores family actually had. They convinced Mr. Flores to let them in, claiming they were law enforcement officers, looking for fugitives. As Shawna Forde and her gang entered the home, they shot Flores point blank in the head, wounded his wife and then turned their attention to 9-year old Brisenia Flores. As Brisenia pleaded for her life, in front of her wounded mother, the Forde gang shot a 9-year old girl, again point blank, in the head.

Two families. Two children, dead. Why? Because the state of Arizona has created a toxic environment in which hate, violence, bigotry and ignorance are revered. Arizona recently passed the “Conception before pregnancy” act, they are the proud owners of SB 1070, their governor shook her finger in the face of the President of the United States, and their sheriff is being investigated by the Department of Justice.

J. T. Ready murdered Lisa Mederos, age 47, Amber Mederos, age 23, Jim Hiott, age 24, who was an Army veteran, having served in Afghanistan, and Amber’s 16-month old daughter, Lily. Do not forget those names, nor the name Brisenia Flores. Ever. Do not forget the names Ready, Brewer, Pearce, Yee or Arpaio. The path on which Arizona now treads is a dangerous one, highlighted by Shawna Forde and J. T. Ready and their violent, unbalanced need to kill.

We may want to start with asking Ian where he gets his facts. It’s difficult to find a reliable source, but at any rate, this most recent one seems to refute his 10,000 claim: http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/two-years-immigrant-bashers-were-cla

This is a diseased, marxist analysis on this situation. It hasn’t even been analyzed fully by the judicial system but you have it all already down pat don’t you?

10,000 Americans die every year to crimes commit by illegal aliens, why don’t you cherry pick one of those stories for your “Fairness doctrine” in your boundless hypocrisy?

Or how about the fact the F.B.I. records inter-racial black white violent crimes (Robbery, Murder, Rape) to be 90% black perpetrators and 90% white victims?

There is nothing hateful about defending your country from hostile invaders who hate you and want to change your nation to suit their interests which are against American interests. It’s about as simple as a math equation to understand without your own brand of marxist prejudice.

So you are defending Shawna Forde and J. T. Ready? Sorry, who’s diseased? They murdered innocent people, including two children. That’s diseased, and for you to defend them shows you are as insane as they.

Ian you are either lying are just grabbing figures out of the air. This statement is blatantly false. Check your stats again. Homicides are 90% intra racial.

“10,000 Americans die every year to crimes commit by illegal aliens”

The other statement, “Or how about the fact the F.B.I. records inter-racial black white violent crimes (Robbery, Murder, Rape) to be 90% black perpetrators and 90% white victims?” may have an element of truth with the robberies in there. Insofar as the murder and rape you are dead wrong. Clearly, this is just a racist rant. You are also one of those folks who also claim to be a good Christian. If so I imagine your God is hanging his head in shame because of people like you.
