[font size=5]Border militia leader arrested on federal weapons charges[/font]

Kevin Lyndel Massey, a leader of the American Patriots group of armed citizens patrolling the border for undocumented immigrants, was arrested on Monday in Brownsville on federal weapons charges.

"There was a federal arrest warrant for him," said Frank Ortega, resident agent in charge of the Brownsville Field Office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. "We located him at a hotel and took him into custody without incident."

Massey, 48, was arrested by agents for being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to KGBT.

Massey, who is from North Texas, was convicted of burglary in 1988. After an initial appearance in court on Tuesday he was denied bond until a Friday hearing.

Democracy has always been toppled by the extreme right wing. There are no historical exceptions.

Penal Battalions were the first to lead an attack to clear the Mines ahead of the Soviet Regulars. They were jokingly referred to as 'Soviet Mine Detectors.'

That fucked up State voting majority and government would probably pin a medal on the convicted white felon.

Lone Star Medal of Racism and Idiocy.
