J.T. Ready, Arizona's most prominent neo-Nazi, member of the controversial "Minutemen" border patrol, and the one-time political protege of recalled state Senate President Russell Pearce, is dead by his own hand in what's described as a multiple murder-suicide in Gilbert that left four others slain, including a 2-year- old.

This post was deleted for the following reason: Ugly situation all around and maybe there's a meaty post to be made about the overall situation, but this is a little thin as is and we probably don't need to link to folks like the Minutemen's site on the front page. -- cortex



 
Talking Points Memo has more news and history behind Ready.

This Facebook status by Ready appears to try to direct blame at the drug cartels for the multiple murders:
Reports are unconfirmed that a cartel assassination squad murdered JT Ready and several of his friends and family this afternoon in Gilbert Arizona. This page's admin will keep you updated of the situation as soon as possible.
Haven't heard if anyone has identified this as the motive for the killing, or just an attempt to deflect blame from himself.
