Texas Minutemen leader craps in his pants and resigns

Texas leader of Minuteman group resigns
Associated Press

VICTORIA — The Texas leader of the Minuteman volunteer border patrol group has resigned, saying the chapter lacks structure and claiming racist tendencies among members from his area, a newspaper reported.


In a reaction from Homeland security, an unidentified official upon hearing of the resignation said "Like duuuuh? Who did he think he was leading? A group of boy scouts concerned about gay rights?"

1. The LEADER complains that there's no STRUCTURE.........
gosh, I wonder where the blame would fall there? :eyes: And who could have guessed that these guys would be racist, morons that think "dress right" means laundering their sheets before a stakeout? :silly:

You get what you pay for, and these guys came free. All they ever wanted was to kick a little "illegal" ass!

4. Snarf, ha, ha - Didn't think they'd last long here in TX

At least Parmley (the TX leader) had some small shred of conscience to call them out on their crap.

I just wish these "bad asses" would take to the section of the TX border where the really bad bandidos are killing officials everyday.
Then I might think they were something more than racist assholes who want to hunt humans.

5. Heard this on KUHF this morning...
...at least he had the integrity to dissassociate himself from them, AND call public media attention to their racism - perhaps that will cause even more scrutiny of their activities.

6. We don't want them here
and local law enforcement doesn't want them here either. They don't want to have to worry about being shot at by drug & human smugglers AND the safety of these nimrods at the same time. We have a real problem on our hands here as the smugglers are now defending their loads as opposed to running off & leaving them behind.

7. Well he was a real Minute-man
Didn't last very long. Well at least he opened his eyes and called them for what they were "racist". These people are trying to pass their group off as security concerned and scaring people about terrorism. They try to convince the gullible that they have to do their patriotic duty to patrol the borders, because the US doesn't have the manpower to do it.

All it really is though, is captured in John's picture - racism rearing its ugly head with a new name. Instead of KKK its now the Minutemen.

11. I get this mental image of Paul Revere riding thru Del Rio and shouting...
"The low wage blue-collar workers are coming! The low wage blue-collar workers are coming!"

9. Send the Minutemen to Iraq!!
I think the Minutemen need to go to Iraq and guard the borders. They can stop the insurgents from entering the country.
Oops, I forgot that they only want to go where there is little danger of anyone firing back at them.

12. And who said God is dead
Talking about boy scouts. Four electrocuted one day, 300+
treated for heat exhaustion another day waiting for their
false idol W at their camping retreat.  Is God telling them
something?  If this had happened at some pro-choice rally,
right-wing evangelists would be ga-ga about God's punishment
of the evil liberals. Were are their voices now?

14. These assholes disgust me!
They ought to put their energy into helping these poor people. Advocate for human rights. Advocate our government to put more pressure on itself and Mexico to end corruption. Advocate our government to crack down on American businesses that break every OSHA rule hiring these immigrants for next to nothing to do horribly dangerous job with no consequence. Fucking assholes I tell you!
