So, the Minuteman Movement has gone completely insane, and they are now crossing over into murder and theft to meet their political goals of a Southwest free of Hispanics.
ter·ror·ism
n. The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons. “terrorism.” The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. Houghton Mifflin Company, 2004. 24 Jun. 2009. <Dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/terrorism>.
On May 30, members of Minutemen American Defense (MAD), an extremist group with links to the neo-Nazi group Aryan Nations, the hate group FAIR and the broader Minuteman Project, broke into the Flores’ family home to rob them. Jason Eugene “Gunny” Bush, also wanted for the random murder of a Latino man in Wenatchee, Wash. 12 years ago, was the primary shooter, and, along with Albert Robert Gaxiola and MAD executive director Shawna Forde, they posed as law enforcement and busted into the Flores’ home.
They shot and killed the father, Raul Flores, and his 9 year-old daughter Brisenia, shooting the little girl multiple times. The mother returned fire, and wounded Bush in the leg after being wounded herself. Police said the murders were premeditated as part of Shawna Forde’s plot to steal money and drugs from those she suspected of working with Mexican drug cartels, and use the proceeds to fund MAD. “They did not plan to leave any survivors. The plan was to kill everyone. To kill a 9-year-old because she might be a potential witness is one of the most despicable acts I’ve heard of,” Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik told the Arizona Daily Star.
But you wouldn’t know that there are racist militias targeting Hispanics in this country if you’re just watching typical news media. They didn’t cover it. I only found out about it by reading this post on Nezua’s The Unapologetic Mexican blog, and, later, the SPLC’s Hatewatch blog.
If only little Brisenia were a fly…
Because last week the media was abuzz about the death of a house fly at the president’s hand, and PETA’s objections to this “execution.”
Here’s a round up of the coverage of this, from our dying dinosaur news media, locked permanently in “silly season“:
Associated Content: PETA Obama Fly-Swatting Story Creates Buzz
Politico: PETA miffed at President Obama’s fly “execution”
Yep, this scrap of inanity was covered by the AP, MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, Politico and more. It was 
so excessive and absurd, it became perfect fodder for Stewart and Colbert.
Where are our priorities? When racist vigilantes (reminiscent of the KKK) start killing children of the race they hate, I can’t find out from the MSM (MainStream Media)?? To get real news these days, you have to turn to the blogs that link to credible local papers that are actually providing coverage.
That means the MSM will soon go the way of that White House fly.
*squish*
