Per the story's suggestion, it's a shame I'd never heard of Shawna Forde until I read about her just now.
Rot in .

Whoa....Forde breaks into the victims house hoping to find drugs to finance her "movement" and blows away a 9 year old girl?
ing kill her already.
/thread
So the characterization of the Minutemen in Machete was actually true? Holy . What a sucking media we have in this nation to not have this horrible crime all over the news.
many on the right couldn't haved d the murdered rancher story any more than they did... but have been completely silent on this case..
interesting
On a side note she should get shot on the face with a shot gun..
Justice appears to have been served.
This is one of those "I disagree with the death penalty, but this person just the same" moments for me.
Me too.
The death sentence handed down Tuesday in Tucson is against Shawna Forde, a resident of Washington State who headed the Minutemen American Defense group. She was convicted Feb. 14 of first-degree murder for orchestrating the killings of Brisenia and Raul Junior Flores of Arivaca, Ariz., a small community just north of the Mexican border.
“I think that the nation as a whole sees us as the wild, wild West, that things like that are going to be OK with us,” says Angie Thomas, who sat on the jury. “And they’re not.”
The case has drawn back the curtain to reveal the dark side of the debate raging in Arizona over illegal immigration.
Ms. Thomas and fellow jurors were told during the trial that Ms. Forde and accomplices gained entry to the Flores home with the expectation of finding drugs there, which could be sold to finance Minutemen American Defense's border-control operations. Finding no drugs, the intruders made away with inexpensive jewelry but, prosecutors said, not before fatally shooting young Brisenia and Mr. Flores. Both victims were American citizens born in the US
Well it wasn't a white 9 year old.....

This thread is going on my subscribed list.
To be rubbed in Darrins face the next time he posts something about how dangerous illegal immigrants are.
Damn, I would have figured she was from Oregon and not Washington.
do you actually think they would have d the story if an illegal immigrant had killed a 9 yr old citizen?
this is a legal resident so it's all good..
WC should like this story because he wants to shoot illegals as they cross the border..
I will edit your quote out of my post.
My comment was based on this quote from the article,
“We have failed leadership: They won’t speak up, they’re silent,” Mr. Galindo says. “To not say that it’s tragic for a child to die – that leaves it as acceptable to continue harming immigrants or Hispanics here in Arizona.”
And if anyone is interested in more reading, I've been following this case on The Daily Beast; links to all the articles/inteviews are here

here's her spin on the events:

I have a question.... would it be safe to assume that AZ has a large hispanic prison population?? I honestly don't know, but I would think that being in the south with a large hispanic population overall that this would be the case.
I ask this question just to cause yall to think..... Maybe the death penalty is not the answer here.
She killed a 9 year old girl who was begging for her life.
I'm pretty sure the death penalty is an adequate answer.
That's quite an opinion.“To not say that it’s tragic for a child to die – that leaves it as acceptable to continue harming immigrants or Hispanics here in Arizona.
A phantom Mexican walks over the border to kill a rancher, then walks back to Mexico...blasted all over the news for at least a week.
Crazy white people break into a home looking for drugs to finance their anti-immigrant projects, kill two innocent victims...this is the first I hear of it.
I actually don't think she should have gotten death by government. I wish they could dump her in a Mexican prison and let her rot there.
I am not sure if you are getting the point of my post. I am NOT being altruistic or merciful here...
Sad story, but sounds like justice was served.
The wiki entry has some interesting information.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders...Albert_Gaxiola
Just so people know, Minutemen American Defense was her own group.
"Minutemen American Defense is a militant nativist splinter group founded in the late 2000s by Forde after she was expelled from the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps."
lolz....just go with me on the death penalty. It'll take years for her to get there meanwhile, she'll have lots of time to make new friends.
