Jason Todd Ready, an Arizona White Supremacist, Kills Four, Then Himself

A white-supremacist border vigilante who was ordained into the Mormon Church priesthood by the sponsor of Arizona’s immigration law apparently slaughtered a toddler and three others before killing himself in a quiet Phoenix suburb Wednesday.

I first met Ready in 2009, when he was stomping on a Mexican flag in an effort to provoke marchers protesting alleged abuses of migrants by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. At the time, Ready was carrying a flag with a swastika and dressed like a storm trooper. I saw him again some months later, goose-stepping down the streets of Phoenix with fellow White Nationalists in a meeting he helped organize.
Jason Todd Ready


He was a disgraced Marine, exiled Republican precinct-committeeman and failed city-council candidate who is most famous in Arizona for his publicity-seeking white supremacist stunts and his association with Arizona’s immigration-law sponsor, now-recalled state senator Russell Pearce.

Two years ago, Ready told me Pearce was his “mentor” and “surrogate father figure” who “groomed me” for a “national-level” political career. Pearce, Ready said, espoused “neo-Nazi philosophy completely.”

If only he started with himself...
