BULLHEAD CITY — Minuteman founder Chris Simcox said the Minutemen will be headed to the U.S.-Mexico border “locked and loaded” beginning April 1.

“It’s time to rise up again and bring attention to the border,” Simcox said.

Simcox, a senior adviser to Senate candidate J.D. Hayworth, said securing the border needs to be a top priority for the future of the country.

“The border continues to be the greatest threat to your security,” he said. “The federal government has left us with no choice to (defend the border) ourselves.”

1. All they have to do is de-criminalize drug use. But they've rather have a war.

2. Someone stole the rec. which someone else placed on this article. Simcox, was that you? n/t

[pampango]

3. One rec was from me. Those "minutemen" in the bottom picture look to be the smart ones.

:)

4. Isn't THAT the truth? How bizarre would it be to be a minuteperson's prisoner?

9. Remember that documentary "Border Wars" where some knock off

of the Minute Men were so busy shooting each other that they forgot about the border? They were involved in illegal weapon sales and drug trafficking and drunkenness and God knows what else.

Just the people we need "protecting" us!

lol

[pattmarty]

10. Remember that movie "Deliverance"?

[a la izquierda]

5. oh my...

i'm happy to know roscoe p. coltrane is protecting me.

in all seriousness, in doing research for teaching, i know what kind of heavy guns some of the cartels have. many of the cartel higher-ups are trained in special forces.
the minutemen look like...well, i don't know. rednecks comes to mind.

[salguine]

6. Most of these assholes aren't really in this to protect the border...I'd bet that, if

it came down to it, that a lot of them are in it because they want the chance to shoot somebody and think that this might provide a scenario under which they could plausibly do it.

[EFerrari]

7. These people probably can't parallel part without a team of helpers.

lol

I hope no border guards are put in harms way keeping these guys from shooting their own limbs off.

[pattmarty]

11. They better be careful for what they wish for, just might get their.................

..............asses handed to them by some of these well armed Mexican drug dealers. This could get downright ugly.

[Xipe Totec]

8. Let's do the math, shall we?

There's five assholes, full of shit, at about 200 lbs each, so that's 16,000 ounces of shit. The Mexican border is 1960 miles long. If we spread them out evenly along the border that gives us around 8 ounces of bulshit per mile of border.

[lunatica]

12. The media spins 5 people into a scary militia!!!!!

OMG! Run for hills!

[MineralMan]

13. Well, if Simcox really wanted to make an impression,

He could self-immolate on the border. I don't advise it though.

[WCGreen]

14. What's not funny about this is if these chumps go and get themselves killed

Then watch as they become martyrs...

[Rozlee]

15. My second cousin crosses the border all the time. He says these nimrods are the biggest joke going

He crosses over all the time right under their noses. And sometimes, he's not even on foot, he's driving his own truck. Sure, he's breaking the law. Don't lecture me. Lecture him. Better yet, lecture the Dominion. The Dominion is the uber gated community north of San Antonio. Home of San Antonio's multi-millionaires such as the San Antonio Spurs and the Right Reverend John Hagee. My cousin works as a grounds keeper there. Illegal as hell, but along with some illegals, the best damn landscapers big bucks can buy. They walk under these beer guts' noses all the time. He says he see guys in trucks sitting around sometimes playing loud music, drinking beer and arguing politics endlessly. He actually loves it. They're making too much racket and too distracted to notice anything. If they're actually alert, "paisanos" or "roadrunners" are sent to distract them. These are a couple of kids that will run around them in the direction of the border yelling something stupid like "el Chupacabra!" If your stereotype of a Minuteman is a fat, stupid, wing nut with the IQ of pond scum guzzling booze and talking for hours about Obama, these guys meet it on steroids.

[Dogtown]

16. He sure loves to pose for photos!

Where's "kissing in the clouds"?

[Judi Lynn]

18. He does seem to imagine he should be in pictures, oddly enough.

From an article I stumbled across:

Minuteman Chris Simcox's 2007 Female Trouble
By Stephen Lemons, Wednesday, Oct. 28 2009 @ 10:08PM

~snip~
A 2005 profile of Simcox published by the Southern Poverty Law Center detailed how the second of Simcox's ex-wives, Kim Dunbar, "filed an emergency appeal in September 2001 to obtain full custody of their teenage son because she feared that Simcox had suffered a mental breakdown and was dangerous."

Simcox didn't fare better with his first ex-wife Deborah Crews, who told the SPLC that, "He tried to molest our daughter when he was intoxicated...When she ran out, he tried to say he was just giving her a leg massage and she got the wrong idea."

17. Will they be wearing thier sheets and hoods? nt

[classysassy]

20. Merchants of hate

" we're in the money",I'll bet my last peso there is money to be made,hate sells like hot cakes and Simcox and his band of little rascals are proberly raking in the bucks that the simple minded racist donate to their stupid cause.Those fools need to be reminded that the people they are trying to keep out were here thousands of years before their ancestors stole this country,Mr Sixcox you and your people are the intruders.

[TerribleLarryDingle]

21. Gee I hope the Cartels are scared

of a bunch of fat redneck assholes who couldn't find their dicks.

[bemildred]

22. Boy, I sure hope he doesn't run into any real bad guys, for his sake.

He will probably do fine against poor Mexicans who just want to work for a living, of course.

[JBoy]

23. Love the meerkat comparison!

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

24. Yeah, April fools day.
