A self-appointed border guard and racist is suspected in the murder of 4 people before he took the chickenshit coward’s way out and killed himself.
Longtime white supremacist and border vigilante JT Ready saw himself as part of a war that few others would fight. He amassed weapons. He donned a uniform. He formed his own brigade of volunteers to walk alongside him as he hunted what he described as “narco terrorists” flowing across the Arizona-Mexico border.
On Wednesday, reports out of Arizona said Ready died, not at the hands of drug runners, but with his own gun during a mad rampage inside a suburban home just east of Phoenix. Along the way, the reports said, he took the lives of four other people, including a toddler.
This is just sickening. And his Facebook page claims that this rampage was caused by “cartel assassination squad.” The posts on his Facebook page are disturbing. But I also note that his madman also was running for sheriff in Pinal County, AZ. A lot of the stuff on that website sounds a lot like what Jeff Christopher is spouting. I wonder of Ready was also a member of the CSPOA.
UPDATE: Apparently he was on the radar of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The past president of the Mesa Community College Republican Club and current Maricopa County Republican precinct committeeman, Ready is deeply involved in mainstream conservative politics. He’s also an outright neo-Nazi. Ready spoke at a rally put on by the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement in Omaha, Neb., last September (where he was billed as an “Arizona Republican activist”) and appeared at the neo-Nazi National Vanguard’s “Winterfest” gathering in Phoenix last December. He regularly posts to white nationalist online forums, including NewSaxon, where last December he offered this charming observation on the root causes of illegal immigration: “The truth is that negroids screw monkeys and rape babies in afreaka [sic]. Then stupid white man who licks kosher jew rear lets negroids in. … Stop Negroid immigration and integration now!!! Nature will take care of the rest.”
Not painting all Republicans with a wide brush, but when you lie down with dogs, you’re bound to get fleas.
