“Border militia” chief had a bomb?
MySanAntonio reports that the leader of the militia people at Camp LoneStar. KC Massey, was found to have bomb making material in his hotel room near Brownsville, Texas recently. Oh, yeah, and he is a felon who illegally possessed firearms;
Agents with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, who searched Massey’s hotel room in Brownsville after an Oct. 20 arrest, found an AK-47 with six loaded magazines, a loaded handgun, a ballistic helmet and several cameras, as well as the ammunition box filled with suspected ammonium nitrate and fuel, according to court documents obtained by the San Antonio Express-News.
[…]
Massey was arrested in connection to an Aug. 29 incident during which a Border Patrol agent fired four shots at a man pointing a weapon at the agent near the Rio Grande while pursuing a group of immigrants east of Brownsville, according to documents from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas in Brownsville.
Apparently, the BATFE folks have found a number of these “border militia” folks to be felons in possession of firearms. And, you know to pollute the immigration issue with their special brand of criminality, the goofballs at these organizations, somehow think that felons have a second amendment right to possess firearms.
If I don’t want a felon to have the right to vote, I certainly can’t defend a felon’s right to own a firearm. The “border militias” are becoming a hideout for criminals, I guess, a place they can become folk heroes. But all they do is poison the immigration debate. They do more for the liberals (I found the original article on Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Hatewatch”) than they do for those of us who want to secure the borders.

Hmmm… it almost seems like anarchy is raising its head down there, just waiting for ‘that’ moment.
My step-daughter is pulling border duty with the National Guard and tells me these militia types have been causing more issues than most of the illegals they deal with. Only a matter of time until a good guy gets shot by or because of one of these jerks.
Yeah, that’s what I’m afraid of … someone getting injured or killed because of one of these idiots.
As long as its an illegal swimming the river why should anyone care
Because the left will use it as justification to open the borders, jonp – in order to prevent the “killing of innocents” (or some other naive libidiot sound-bite crap).
Well it looks like they “came and took” his weapons.
F’ing moron.
I concur with all of the above. A felon DOES NOT have the right to Own/possess firearms and ammo or vote, and rightfully so!
Actually felons can vote. The rules are different from state to state.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felony_disenfranchisement
I should clarify that technically A Proud Infidel is correct (at least as far as my understanding) that convicted felons do not have a “right” to vote, and that was upheld by the Supreme Court.
However, it comes down to the individual state as to whether to allow/restore the ability to vote to felons.
Interestingly, according to Wiki (so take it with a grain of salt,) the states of Maine and Vermont allow felons to vote, by absentee ballot, while incarcerated.
If they did not allow felons to vote in DC, nobody would be able to vote here, including a majority of the DC Council. But they are not referred to as felons or ex-cons, so like illegal aliens being referred to as undocumented immigrants, the thug that has been terrorizing your local government funded housing is called a “returning citizen” when he returns to the hood.
I’m willing to bet a dollar to a doughnut that, outside of the guns possession issue, that the “bomb materials” items were a set up and a plant.
(New man in the “militia”, AKA FiBbIe/BATFEces plant (now “disappeared”), suggesting additional, illegal, things to do at the border. And these idiots were dumb enough to fall for it. Would these “militia” have done it on their own? Who knows?)
I hate to say it, but in light of other activities by federal agencies under the Glorious Leader’s reign, that has become a lot more believable. On the one hand, I doubt it. On the other, I look at crap like Fast & Furious, Lois Lerner, Benghazi, IS, etc. and I have to admit, “Well, it’s not like they wouldn’t…”
These losers are doing the work for the Democrats on immigration issues the way the Texas Open Carry Ass Hats are helping the Democrats regarding the Second Amendment. Fellas, please don’t speak for me and please…DON’T help! You guys are making things worse for legitimate issues of national concern, like the security of our Southern Border. Go home and watch reality TV.
I absolutely agree. These clowns make those of us who want secure borders look like nutjobs. And those open carry idiots are so fucking stupid a part of me wonders if they are liberal plants pretending to be gun owners because they all seem to fit that liberal stereotype of gun owners to a “T”. I forgot who said it, but there was a quote something like:
“Conservatives think liberals are wrong, but liberals think conservatives are evil”.
Yeah, the standard for anyone who opposes certain government actions or inactions is perfection. If you oppose abortion, then you must support those who have killed abortionists and bombed abortion factories. If you support marriage as only between one man and one woman, you must also support illegal discrimination. If you do not support the current president, you are a racist and, if black, an Uncle Tom. And if you support merely following the immigration laws that are all ready on the books, you hate children and support clownie boys like Massey. Well, screw that. Screw all of that. None of it is true but the Left has dictated the terms and too many folks merely accept it. Massey here, if guilty of what he is charged with, is just a criminal and nothing else.
The idiot right has just as many hypocritical generalists, too – if you advocate any measure restricting any gun you’re a confiscator, if you can allow abortion for cases of incest/rape you surely must be in favor of 28 week abortions, etc….Large-mouthed small-brained idiocy knows no party limitation.
Didn’t that fat toolbag dennis chavalior? claim to be one of the fat heads at that camp>
Really? That’s interesting. However, knowing Heavy Chevy, he’s probably a phony border militiaman. Probably assigned himself the rank of Lieutenant Corporal!
Most of us say “I’m here for the beer”
Chevy says “I’m here for the cheese!”
See my comment above about FiBbIe/BATFEces undercover “plants”. I wouldn’t doubt that he’s one, being blackmailed into it for the carrot (lotsa cheeze) and the stick (deep dark dungeon hole)
Yeah I’m sure I saw him running his mouth about being “deployed” to FOB LoneStar, he said he was running the ‘OPS’ hahahahha fat fucking loser.
I have no doubt that these “militias” have undercover FBI and/or BATFE Agents embedded as well as informants much like they’ve had among other outfits like the Neonazis and the KKK for years.
I remember reading a Harry Harrison novel (Bill the Galactic Hero, I think) a long time ago and there was a subplot involving a revolutionary group plotting to overthrow the Galactic Emperor and, as it turned out, when the internal security folks conducted a raid to capture the plotters, all of the plotters were undercover agents for the government! Pretty funny and sounds like one of these days, our government is going to do something similar if they’re not careful. In this case, however, I am not inclined to believe that the gooberment was involved in this. These border militia mouthbreathers really ARE this stupid.
In the article it states he’s a veteran. I wasn’t aware that felons were able to serve in the military.
There are waivers (not sure if you can get them for felonies or not,) plus, I suppose, it’s possible that he was in the military first, and received the felonies after????
Waivers are available for Armed Forces, but there are criteria for issuing them (type of crime committed, recruitment/retention requirements, how reformed is the individual etc…). I do not know about the USAF, or USMC, but the other two branches have considered waivers for felons.Some states restore all of some felons rights (including 2nd Amendment) after certain considerations are met.
Waivers were done during Vietnam. Served with several and was damn glad to have some of them with us. However, there were also a few who really shouldn’t have been there.
Shared a hotel room with a fella at the AAFES center whose entry was delayed a day – in his case he had been convicted of theft of government property and while in prison had killed someone. The Marines wanted more info so they could judge whether he was moral enough to go in, so he was held up while they looked over his trial records for the theft.
