She happened to "borrow" the name to make it more seemly than it was. Can anyone on the left here PROVE a tie between Ms. Forde and her group and the REAL Minutemen? She was arrested while at the house of a prominent leader of another minuteman group. http://www.tucsonweekly.com/tucson/murder-in-the-desert/Content?oid=1739974 She also has a long history of activism in minuteman groups. Google her name and fake rape for details of an earlier incident. Long History??? She joined the Minutemen Civil Defense League in 2007 and was asked to leave within 2 years. She formed her splinter group in 2009. In 2007, she first became involved in the anti-immigrant activities and later joined the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps. However, she was asked to leave the organization in February 2007 after members described her as being "unstable". Forde later founded a splinter group, the Minutemen American Defense organization, which had 14 members at the time of the attack on the Flores family One of her associates in the crime? Jason Eugene "Gunny" Bush (born LaGrande, Oregon August 11, 1974 (1974-08-11) (age 36)[10]), of Meadview, Arizona, is M.A.D.'s National Director of Operations. (For those who have forgotten, M.A.D. is the splinter group formed by Forde. It is NOT part of the Minutemen) Bush was shot in the leg during the same time frame as the attack. Bush is Forde's second in command. He has ties to the Aryan Nation and was also charged in June 2009 with the 1997 murder of Hector Lopez Partida in Wenatchee, Washington.[11] He is also charged with the Sept. 1997 execution styled killing of his Aryan Nation associate, Jonathan Bumstead, also of Wenatchee, WA for supposedly committing the "crime" of "being a 'race-traitor'". Later in 1997, Bush was imprisoned for the theft of a car and for his possession of a firearm (unlawful because Bush was already a felon, from a previous conviction).[12][13] After he was released in 2003, Bush moved to Sandpoint, Idaho, where he lived until 2007.[14] Bush is also suspected in at least 2 additional killings during the latter part of 1997. According to information that was provided to Washington state detectives, Jason is alleged to have, on two separate instances, shown up at acquaintances residences covered in blood, and asking to be allowed to clean up there, as he had "just finished taking care of some business". Detectives are currently attempting to find any links to unresolved cases. (note that nowhere, even in Wikipedia, is it stated that this man had ties to, or was allied with, the LEGAL Minutemen groups) The final member in the shoot-out? Albert Robert Gaxiola (born February 9, 1967 (1967-02-09) (age 43)[15]), of Arivaca, Arizona, is believed to have provided intelligence about drug activities in the area to the M.A.D.[16][17][18][19] (Again, let it be noted that M.A.D. is Forde's group and is in no way tied to the legal Minutemen groups). Gaxiola had been imprisoned on marijuana charges from 1992 to 2000.[12] According to Gonzalez, Gaxiola and Flores had an on-going dispute that had originated in 2008 over marijuana belonging to Gaxiola that had been stored at Flores's residence.[20] The head of the Tucson office of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, Anthony Coulson told the Arizona Daily Star, "Raul Flores was a drug-trafficker." Today, the DEA declines to comment on Mr. Flores. [21 So...except for Shawna Forde, neither of the other two have a tie to legal Minutemen groups, though one DOES have ties to the Aryan Nation. The Aryan nation IS NOT the Minutemen.
