First the news
Warden, 59, had been charged with one count of assault, one count of reckless burning and one count of disorderly conduct.
He was cited and released by Tucson police April 11, a day after he and members of the Border Guardians burned a Mexican flag at Armory Park. The Border Guardians and Warden were surrounded by hundreds of protesters who marched in opposition to legislation they said was unfair to immigrants.
The Border Guardians, as you may know, are one of the many intersections in the white supremacist web that is being woven across the United States. The Southern Poverty Law Center warned in April that:
Laine Lawless, who started a group called Border Guardians last year, sent an April 3 e-mail to Mark Martin, “SS commander” of the Western Ohio unit of the National Socialist Movement, which has 59 chapters in 30 states. It was titled, “How to GET RID OF THEM!”
The e-mail from Lawless, who was also an original member of Chris Simcox’s vigilante militia before it morphed into the Minuteman Project in early 2005, detailed 11 suggestions for ways to harass and terrorize undocumented immigrants, including robbery and “beating up illegals” as they leave their workplace.
“Maybe some of your warriors for the race would be the kind of people willing to implement some of these ideas,” Lawless wrote. “I’m not ready to come out on this. … Please don’t use my name. THANKS.”
Domestic Terrorism – yet little to nothing is being done to prevent an international incident along the border. Roy Warden and his ilk are a danger to society. And make no mistake about their intentions – they target any and all Latinos that come in their path. If your skin is brown, you’re an illegal.
Shun him? I think not:

Mr. Warden is an American PATRIOT! He suffered the indiginty of being arrested and did US a favor… by exposing the illegal invaders as the violent criminals that many of them are!
BUILD THE WALL. DEPORT THEM ALL.

“Poverty stricken” is irrelevant. What we’re “afraid” of is hordes of illegals;, Mexican, Arab, Guatemalan, Russian, Chinese….., who have no respect for our laws, our culture, our language, our budget, our customs, or us. What we are “afraid” of is liberal activist judges and pandering politicians who dismiss our concerns and thwart our wishes with disdain and arrogance. Thanks to professors, teachers, and a media almost entirely invested in an extreme ideology, many of our citizens are taught that our American culture is inferior and unworthy of our dedicatioon and embrace and thus they see no tragedy in losing it.

Congrats Warden. It is a shame that our country will arrest an American who is burning the flag of the invaders, meanwhile millions of illegal aliens can march in the streets, waive their flag, sing our national anthem in their language, and nothing happens. What a joke. Next time they march bring in an AC-130 and mow them down. Burn one for me Warden.
What the ignorant trolls at the Arizona Daily Star’s website don’t realize is that there is ample proof to call them all a festering pus ball of racism – yet you’ll be met with utter indignation if you suggest that they are racist. Makes no sense to me, what else do they think their hate represents? The rule of law? Ha! Even if that were true, who would want to live in the country they are trying to bring about? A better question – who would they allow to join them in their shiny beacon of a nation?
It doesn’t take much scratching below the surface to see the ties between the anti-immigrant groups and white supremacist terrorist organizations. Use The Google if you must.
You can also do a search at the SPLC for the Border Guardians, Minutemen, and any of the other number of nativist groups that are fear-mongering across the land.
this a follow-up diary to one I posted back in April.
the Border Guardians are now commenting at the thread linked above at the Az Daily Star. I wonder if any of them will show up at my blog? [evil grin]
I can’t believe that one of them is actually named Lawless. How fitting.
she’s one of the trolls that surfaced at the newspaper’s website and is “rallying the troops”.
I didn’t know those MinuteMenFuckers could even read… let alone use a computer.
(((Manny)))
one of their greatest weapons – they hope the people will underestimate the potency of their hate. Not me – I’m fully aware of their cunning ways of wooing the sheeple to support their rhetoric. I don’t have to look very far – the Minutemen are running commercials in my market to support the GOP candidate in CD08. (he’s going to fail miserably too, i might add).

Would that be Laine Lawless?
Laine Lawless, who started a group called Border Guardians last year, sent an April 3 e-mail to Mark Martin, “SS commander” of the Western Ohio unit of the National Socialist Movement, which has 59 chapters in 30 states. It was titled, “How to GET RID OF THEM!”
Steal the money from any illegal walking into a bank or check cashing place.”
“Make every illegal alien feel the heat of being a person without status. … I hear the rednecks in the South are beating up illegals as the textile mills have closed. Use your imagination.”
“Discourage Spanish-speaking children from going to school. Be creative.”
“Create an anonymous propaganda campaign warning that any further illegal immigrants will be shot, maimed or seriously messed-up upon crossing the border. This should be fairly easy to do, considering the hysteria of the Spanish language press, and how they view the Minutemen as `racists & vigilantes.'”
one and the same.
..the Laine Lawless who said, “What I need right now are bodies. At this point.. I don’t even care if they are racist.” ?
This woman makes me sick.
the insulation she tries to provide herself from the racist characterization? Truly delusional (and extremely dangerous).
It’s only a matter of time before something truly hideous happens in terms of human life along the border..and I will in part blame the fuckhead Lou Dobbs with his incessant ‘Broken Borders’ fearmongering/race baiting on his damn show.
As sick and twisted as are these racist border groups it’s his sick pasty racist face that is giving a ‘legitimacy’ to people who watch his show to let their inner racist and prejudices to all hang out.
I worry about you Manny and hope you are taking care when you are out and about.
irresponsible rhetoric by the likes of Dobbs, Hastert, Sensbrenner, Tancredo, Hayworth, etc. etc. etc. is what covers these radical/dangerous groups with credibility.
Don’t worry too much about my safety. I may be a student of nonviolence but I know how to defend myself if need be. It’s instinctive 😉
They’re everywhere…and they are out to get anyone who may be an “illegal”. Ugly sh*t
Manny, keep us updated on this will you?
