Shawna Forde, Right Wing Anti-Immigrant Activist, Two Others Charged with Double Murder, Burglary in Arizona

Outspoken anti-immigrant activist Shawna Forde has found herself in a whole lot of trouble. She was at the center of a series of violent crimes in Everett, Arizona earlier this year and now stands accused of the home-invasion murders of Raul Flores and his daughter, Brisenia. According to Pima County Sheriff's Department, Forde, Jason Eugene Bush and Albert Robert Gaxiola, two associates in her Minuteman American Defense group, have been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, one count of first-degree burglary and one count of aggravated assault. The May 30th killings were believed to be "premeditated and part of a plan to steal money and drugs to finance the Minuteman group she leads." There is a right way to further your cause and if she is guilty of these crimes, she deserves to be incarcerated for the rest of her life. She is being fingered as the ringleader of this group of three marauders and murderers. She is a career criminal, starting from her youth straight up to adulthood. This woman could have turned her life around, instead of resorting crime behind a facade of a right-wing anti-immigration cause. I wonder what Sean Hannity has to say about this, since he went to the Mexican border with a bunch of Minuteman members.

Raul Flores, 29, and his daughter, Brisenia, 9, were killed when a group of armed people, including a woman, forced their way into the home. The child's mother traded gunfire with the attackers. She survived but remains hospitalized with gunshot wounds. Pima County officials said the intruders had been looking for the couple's other daughter to shoot her, too, but she wasn't home.

The shootings occurred in the tiny hamlet of Arivaca, about 60 miles south of Tucson and 10 miles north of the Mexican border, an area of heavy illegal traffic in drugs and people. It is in an area where Forde and her group, Minuteman American Defense, regularly operate.

Forde has been active in the Minuteman movement for years, although even before Friday's arrest, many groups and leaders kept their distance. Before she headed to Arizona earlier this year to start another season of prowling the desert with her group, she made it clear that she was preparing for violence.

"I will stay the course and lead in this fight with every once (sic) of strength and conviction I have," she wrote in an e-mail message to supporters. "I will not waist (sic) it on matters that do not pertain to this very mission. It is time for Americans to lock and load." Source: Herald Net

Forde's prior brushes with the law includes juvenile convictions for felonies, prostitution and other street crimes. The woman is no stranger to crime and she should be held with bail, given her history. Her own mother, Rena Caudle, who was visited by Forde earlier this year, said her daughter talked about staging home invasions. So, if her own mother can utter those words, then this woman is wading in some treacherous waters and need to be taken off the streets.
