Gun Loonies, FBI In Shootout

[MrBenchley]

Gun nuts, racism, AND home grown militias--it's the NRA trifecta!!

"Convicted felon and would-be militia organizer Casey Nethercott was arrested in Douglas Wednesday night by FBI agents who shot and seriously injured a member of Nethercott’s fledgling Arizona Guard.
Nethercott was convicted on federal weapons charges earlier this year and was free on bond pending a decision by Texas authorities on whether he would be retried on assault charges stemming from a 2003 incident in which he is accused of beating two illegal immigrants detained in a Ranch Rescue Operation in Hogg County, Texas.
On Sept. 10, the Arizona branch of the Anti-Defamation League issued a press release citing the relationship between Nethercott and Riddle as proof of links between extreme anti-immigration groups and neo-Nazi and white supremicist organizations."

3. A bit more on this racist pinhead....

"The agent shot Kalen Riddle, an acquaintance of Casey Nethercott, about 11:15 p.m. Wednesday in a grocery store parking lot in Douglas, the Arizona-Mexico border town where both men live, FBI officials said.
Nethercott, 37, is a convicted felon who served prison time in connection with the false imprisonment of the chief of police's son in Riverside, Calif.
A Laredo jury in June found him guilty of felony firearm possession. An accompanying assault charge ended in a mistrial after jurors deadlocked on the charge.
Nethercott was accused of pistol-whipping undocumented immigrant Alfredo Mancia Gonzales, 26, of El Salvador while Nethercott and several other Ranch Rescue members were on armed patrol in March 2003 at the Hebbronville ranch of Joe Sutton. "
