Nativist leader admits meeting with Shawna Forde after slayings in Arizona
Edited on Tue Sep-15-09 10:27 AM by ck4829
Laine Lawless, the Mexican-flag-burning founder of the Arizona-based hate group Border Guardians, admitted last week that she met with fellow nativist vigilante leader Shawna Forde less than 24 hours after Forde allegedly took part in the home invasion slayings of a Latino man and his 9-year-old daughter in Arivaca, Ariz., near the Mexican border.

The admission from Lawless came in response to a Sept. 9 Everett (Wash.) Herald article in which Minuteman activist Chuck Stonex revealed that Lawless had accompanied him the night of May 30 when Stonex met with Forde and Jason Bush, the alleged triggerman in the slayings, which had occurred in the early morning hours that same day.

Two weeks later, Forde and Bush were arrested and charged with the murders along with a third accomplice. Soon after their arrests, Stonex went to police and said he’d treated Bush for a gunshot wound at Forde’s request the night after the killings. He said that Forde claimed a ricochet had struck Bush in the leg while he was on vigilante border patrol.

According to law enforcement authorities, Bush suffered the injury when the wife and mother of the victims shot him during the home invasion robbery that was orchestrated by Forde, the founder of Minuteman American Defense.

Having a conversation with a child murderer, how about that?

I thought Forde was crazy and on the fringe, I wonder how many other nativists she met up with after this atrocity happened.

2. You don't understand
The little girl was Hispanic, she didn't count!

I thought Forde was crazy, but I never had any doubts that she got some kind of assistance from her fellow racists, or to make some here fell better, the anti-illegals groups.
