‘Put them all in a gas chamber,’ said Border militia member, 'go back to Hitler days' — Report
“Why are we just apprehending them (…) not lining them up and shooting them? We have to go back to Hitler days and put them all in a gas chamber.”

•

Remember that US-Mexico border white supremacist terrorist group that published videos of members detaining hundreds migrants at gunpoint, with the Border Patrol's apparent tacit consent?

Today, we learn that one member of that racist New Mexico border militia told police that another fellow member once said, “Why are we...not lining them up and shooting them? We have to go back to Hitler days and put them all in a gas chamber,” reports Ken Klippenstein.

Klipperstein obtained the documents under FOIA.

From his report:

“Why are we just apprehending them and not lining them up and shooting them,” a border militia member in New Mexico is alleged to have said of border migrants that the group had been monitoring.

“We have to go back to Hitler days and put them all in a gas chamber,” the militia member, Armando Gonzalez, is also alleged to have said. Gonzalez did not respond to multiple requests for comment by TYT.

The disturbing comments appear in an April 24 police report containing allegations by a former member of the militia group. The former member, Steven Brant, contacted the Sunland Park Police Department to notify them of what he called “terroristic threats” he had witnessed by the group. The report was produced by the Sunland Park Police Department and was obtained by TYT through a public records request.

On April 18, the border militia, which calls itself the United Constitutional Patriots (UCP), sparked national outrage after reportedly detaining about 200 border migrants, including several children, at gunpoint. After video surfaced appearing to show UCP impersonating Border Patrol — a federal offense — the FBI arrested UCP’s leader, Larry Mitchell Hopkins,.

Although the police report obtained by TYT does not mention UCP by name, Daniel Carranco, Sunland Park City Clerk, confirmed to TYT that UCP is the group referenced.

The police report is an interview of a militia member named Steven Brant who told police he went by the codename “Viper.”

3. And just this AM on a FB discussion someone said DJT was the most patriotic president ever.

Goddamn these people are stupid, evil and just fucking mean.

11. Did you remind them that he was a coward and draft dodger during Vietnam?

Mommy and daddy Trump paid off a doctor to say Fat Donnie had bone spurs. Probably paid off some draft board members also. It's amazing how those bone spurs didn't keep him from playing golf and tennis at the country club.

5. Said by Armando Garcia/Armando Delgado Gonzalez

6. Sounds like he WAS ready to take those comments in to action if he had not been asked

to stop .
Other Steven guy "TViper "should know now what others have in mind but is going to form another group that will attract the same type of trigger nuts IMO

Also just being judgy but born 1966 in a 1990s suburban ...seems he could spend his extra time at an evening second job to save for a newer vehicle instead of time patrolling with a lust to kill
That's just me and beside the point

7. Why are DUers surprised? It's always been about race

they want a white nation. That's why they are white nationalists.

They post memes about nonwhites should go back to their country and fix their problems despite their ancestors coming here from Europe. They never tell whites to go back to Europe.

Being named "Armando Gonzalez" doesn't change anything. Stephen Miller is a self-hating Jew who would totally put his own family in the camps.

[dalton99a]

8. Actually, having Armando Gonzalez as a member is good PR - it makes them "not racist"

A few notable members of The Proud Boys are not white

David Duke endorsed Tulsi Gabbard

[IronLionZion]

9. They're still racist

ISIS posted videos with kittens and Nutella to show how normal they are. There are pictures of nonwhite Hitler youth back in the day because a German parent didn't want their mixed race kid to perish in the holocaust. It's all propaganda.

23. The American West was originally settled by Spaniards in the 1500s.

Hence all the Spanish site names.

Father Junipero Serra, anyone?

12. And where do these nuts draw the line should some other groups fall under the blaze of their ...

searchlights? These groups and people need to be stopped and stopped quickly before innocents are killed and/or hurt. Disgusting.

13. Im so sick of

Maggots emboldened by the maggot in chief
And their lunitical ravings.
They should all be dragged into mental hospitals.

14. Wait a minute. Gas chambers? I thought he and his ilk were Holocaust deniers.

15. They went full Nazi. Never go full Nazi.

[Timmygoat]

16. This does not surprise me

We all know how Trump's dad kept a copy of Mein Kampf by his bed! After all Trump's grandfather only came to the states when he was kicked out of Germany, Grandad was a pimp, and daddy was a con-man and slumlord, Donald has the same genes. Not one of them served in the military. What I don't understand is why black folks do not yell - kick tyhem out of our contry!
After all black folks have bee here for more than 200 years - Trumps group on since crooked pimp grandad.

20. Big Daddy probably gave his copy to Little Donnie

The Independent, March 20, 2017:

Donald Trump reportedly owned a copy of Adolf Hitler’s speeches and kept them in his bedside cabinet.

A 1990 Vanity Fair article about the billionaire businessman stated that Mr Trump’s then wife Ivana, said her husband owned a copy of “My New Order” – a printed collection of the Nazi leader’s speeches.

Marie Brenner, the article’s author, wrote: “Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, 'My New Order', which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed.

“Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.”

Asked by Ms Brenner about the claim and whether his cousin, John Walter, had given him the book, Mr Trump responded: “Who told you that?"

He went on to explain that it was "his friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.”

Mr Davis told Vanity Fair: “I did give him a book about Hitler. But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”

Ms Brenner suggested the businessman, who was suffering difficulties with his business at the time, may have been looking for inspiration in Hitler's "genius for propaganda" and the way he spun military defeats as great victories.

The article also claimed that John Walter would frequently greet his cousin by saying: “Heil Hitler”.

27. Stunning information. This summary should be a thread on its own.

It’s getting lost in this one and deserves more attention. Thanks for posting this.

[JHB]

17. We're Americans. For us, "going back to the Hitler days" means...

...shooting at the "line them up" and "gas chamber" people, making them surrender and putting them on trial for their crimes. And when those crimes involved lining people up or gassing them, executing the guilty.

[lunatica]

19. I literally feel nauseated

They are profoundly disgusting.

21. Never turn a blind eye

Hitler himself was approvingly described by the State Department in 1937 as a “moderate” between the extremes of the German left and right. Leading news outlets likewise saw “a new moderation in the political atmosphere” of Nazi Germany (New York Times, 3/7/33) or “indications of moderation” on Hitler’s part (Philadelphia Daily Bulletin, 1/30/33).
