Prominent Arizona "neo-Nazi" J.T. Ready Among Five Killed In Gilbert AZ Shooting

[Donald E. Pauly]

I don't know much about Ready's day to day behavior, except that he has been a regular embarrassment to the Immigration Reform movement in Arizona. This experienced Stormfront poster is unknown to me and has some thoughts on the subject. It is curious that his last post on Stormfront was at 04:18 his time this morning.

Re: JT Ready in murder suicide shooting 5 dead.Shocking.He rarely posted but was posting more this month and not sounding like himself at all. He has some posts in the bridge bombing thread that totally do not sound like him and I was surprised by them. Either they were not him or his health was deteriorating. Either way this is a horrible tragedy.RIP, JT and the family, too.What about Vandal at earthlink? Anybody hear from him? He should know more about the situation. God help everyone.

Anarchist terrorists to blow up bridge

Looking at them, I'd say at least two, probably three are Jewish, at the least, as I evaluate by appearance.

This house was very poorly armed for Arizona. Only two handguns and a shotgun were found. Ballistics should tell the tale as to who shot who and whether Ready killed himself. Powder burns are almost always present in suicides.

Those pipe bombers were anarchists, not WNists. Of which, most were probably jews or jewbreeds.

For your information

Btw, I've soaked up more information and details in this thread than the one on SF. Their thread is full of "aw shucks" and "he will be missed, hail victory comradefriendpersonwhoIlike!"

Even though this reminds me of a similar excuse for cause of death surrounding David Lynch (death 3/2011 in CA), claiming it was a domestic. I'm not one to claim Musstard agents killed them, but it does draw parallels.

For several years, Arizona vigilante J.T. Ready conducted armed, civilian patrols along the U.S. border, urging the use of violence to prevent smuggling and illegal immigration.

On Wednesday, the former Marine, who was running for Pinal County sheriff, went on a shooting rampage in a sedate Gilbert neighborhood, killing four people before he took his own life, authorities believe.

The victims ranged from a 16-month-old infant to a 47-year-old grandmother. Investigators have yet to list a motive for the killing spree, but early indications suggested an explosion of domestic violence rather than a political act.

The shootings occurred at a beige, middle-class home in the 500 block of West Tumbleweed Road, near Cooper and Warner roads, a housing tract between a Methodist church and residential lakes. Friends and neighbors said the victims knew one another and all either lived at the address with Ready or had resided there until recently.

Investigators were still sorting out the relationships and had not identified the dead as of Wednesday night. However, a Florida relative, Hugo Mederos, said detectives had notified him that the victims were:

• Lisa Mederos, 47, Hugo's former wife.

• Amber Mederos, 22, daughter of Hugo and Lisa, who was employed at a nearby Wendy's restaurant.

• Jim "Jambob" Hiott, 24, Amber's boyfriend, an Army veteran who served in Afghanistan.

• And Lilly, Amber's 16-month-old daughter.

Hugo Mederos said his other daughter, Brittany Mederos, was at the house and heard gunfire, but was not wounded.

"She was in the bedroom when she heard the gunshots," he said, after speaking with Brittany by phone. "She heard everybody screaming. She heard the baby crying."

Sgt. Bill Balafas, a Gilbert police spokesman, said the wounded baby was taken to Maricopa Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. "There were signs of life, that's why we transported her," Balafas said.

"This is a domestic situation. We do have a witness that our investigators are interviewing," he added, referring to Brittany.

Balafas said the three females were discovered inside the house; the two men were found outside.

Gilbert police were joined at the scene by members of an anti-terrorism task force, according to an FBI spokesman. As darkness fell Wednesday, victims' bodies had not yet been removed. Investigators retreated from the house after discovering a pair of 55-gallon drums in the backyard. Fire officials determined that the contents were not an immediate danger, but the investigation was further delayed when bomb-squad members found munitions in the house and called in federal agents.

Ready, a prospective candidate for Pinal County Sheriff, was founder of U.S. Border Guard and a member of the Minuteman Project, both nationally prominent anti-illegal immigration organizations. At one time, he also belonged to the National Socialist Movement, which espouses White-supremacist theories.

On Wednesday afternoon, someone posted a message on Ready's Facebook page: "Reports are unconfirmed that a cartel assassination squad murdered J.T. Ready and several of his friends and family. ... This page's admin will keep you updated of the situation as soon as possible."

A message on the U.S. Border Guard website said members were "extremely saddened by the untimely loss of our founder" and expressed sympathy to the victims.

Ready, 39, has advocated deadly force to stop smugglers and immigrants from entering the United States illegally. He became a significant figure in Arizona politics recently because of his purported neo-Nazi views and his association with former Arizona Senate President Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, who was recalled last fall.

Pearce did not respond Wednesday to requests for comment. However, Pearce has in recent years disavowed his association with Ready.

In 2008, Ready became a Republican precinct committeeman in Legislative District 18. Because of his extreme views, several GOP congressman in Arizona sent a letter to Maricopa County Republican Party leaders asking that Ready be removed from that position.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups nationally, characterized Ready as a racist and "an outright neo-Nazi" who once declared, "I firmly believe in having a minefield across the border. This is 100 percent effective."

Harry Hughes, a member of the National Socialist Movement who also took part in armed border patrols, expressed shock at Wednesday's mayhem.

"I think this is horrible," he said. "I want everyone to know J.T. Ready was the last person on Earth I'd figure to have done anything to hurt a child. It really caught me off guard. Despite all the rhetoric and the stuff we're going to hear about him being the evil Nazi, he was a good man."

Wednesday evening, Hughes was being interviewed by police, federal agents and prosecutors at his Pinal County residence in Maricopa, which Ready listed as his home address in elections paperwork that also showed Amber Mederos as campaign treasurer.

Meanwhile, a group of friends wept and commiserated at the Wendy's restaurant in Gilbert.

Heather Morton, a former employee, said J.T. Ready had worked at a nearby auto shop, met the Mederos sisters while dining at the restaurant where they worked and became involved with their mother. She said Ready moved into the family residence but was so "cruel and controlling" that Amber Mederos moved out a few months ago with her daughter and fiance.

Morton said Ready tried to boss the girls and criticized Amber's baby for being half Hispanic. "He said, 'She's 50 percent ugly,' that's how he described her," she added.

Nancy and Bud Napples, owners of the apartment complex where Jim Hiott and Amber Mederos moved, said they were a "young couple, just starting out."

Bud Napples said Hiott had been looking for work since November and recently landed a job. He watched Lilly during the day while Amber worked at Wendy's. Things were looking up for the young family, Nancy Napples said.

"They both had work, and he was so happy about that ... He had Lilly in his arms, and he was just happy."

Hiott, a member of the South Carolina National Guard, returned from U.S. Army deployment last year in Kabul, Afghanistan, where he served in an artillery unit providing security for reconstruction efforts.

Linda Hiott, a sister in Walterboro, S.C., said he was a normal guy: "He liked fast cars. He liked to go to church and go fishing."

Nancy Napples said the little girl was "a delight," with dark hair and blue eyes. "It's strange to see a couple on the verge of the rest of their lives ... and have that happen," she said. "I'm sorry for their families and the little girl that didn't really have a chance."

Police swarmed into the development known as Lago Estancia and blocked access after the slayings were first reported around 1 p.m. Footage from a media helicopter revealed at least one body lying outside.

Neighbors in the normally placid community were stunned and frightened, especially early on when it was unclear whether a gunman remained on the loose. The area was cordoned with yellow police tape while neighbors retreated into their homes, and several nearby schools were locked down.

Cathi Rand, a nearby resident, expressed outrage at the slaying of a baby. "You want to commit suicide? How dare you take children's lives."

Tammy Cowden, a neighbor who lived next to the family for about 20 years, described Lisa Mederos as "a stay-at-home grandmother who doted on her granddaughter."

"I heard the gunshots," Cowden said. "I heard three of them. ... My dog wouldn't stop growling."

"It is just horrible," added Paulie Hale. "Just really, really sad. This is a family neighborhood."

J.T. Ready, Born-Again Liberal, Dead In AZ Mass Murder
By Peter Brimelow on May 2, 2012 at 9:48pm

In covering Immigrant Mass Murder Syndrome at VDARE.com (latest one here), we've always said the multiple killing is not, alas, a job Americans won't do. The latest proof of this: the death of Arizona Minuteman J.T. Ready and several members of his family in Phoenix this afternoon. Press reports suggest Ready himself may have been the shooter. (Ariz. border militia leader kills 3 adults, infant and self, by Michael Winter, USA Today, May 2, 2012).

We all know what is going to happen now: an anti-immigration patriot Leftist witch-hunt. As I wrote after a Vietnamese immigrant killed 13 people in upstate New York in 2009:

If the killer in the Binghamton immigration center massacre had been a white American, I have no doubt that much of the VDARE.COM Editorial Collective would be in police custody right now. After all, the Treason Lobby has gotten its anti-Hispanic "Hate Crime" hysteria on to the national agenda with no significant evidence at all.

And subsequently, indeed, American Renaissance's Jared Taylor never received any MSM apologies for being "linked", entirely falsely, with the shooter of Rep. Gabrelle Giffords—part of yet another anti-conservative Leftist witch-hunt that Sarah Palin, to her great credit, helped stop by bluntly describing it as a "blood libel."

So let the record show that when VDARE.com last looked at J.T. Ready, we were analyzing the way his "neo-Nazi" posturing was being used to smear Arizona immigration patriots—and we were able to quote a Phoenix Leftoid, Terry Greene Sterling, who wrote in the Daily Beast:

[T]hese days, Ready says, he has had a change of heart. In a quirky flip flop that could only happen in Arizona, the 37-year-old alleged Nazi spins himself as more of a liberal than some of the mainstream politicians running for office on a secure-the-borders platform.

'My view has significantly changed since I've been patrolling the desert,' Ready asserts. He's 're-evaluated' a lot of things and has 'modified' his earlier views. He is no longer a member of the National Socialist Party, he says. Bumping into migrants in the desert who are thirsty, hungry, and injured has opened his 'whole humanitarian side.'

'I no longer see them as invaders,' he claims. 'I see them as economic refugees.'

I note that Ready was running for Sheriff of Pinal County, Paul Babeu's former post—as a Democrat.

Smoky Mtn said in 60

And all that was pissed away this evening. No less than three neighbors came up to me this evening about this story. All that I could tell them is that I will do my best to out the crazy mother fuckers in our movement who dare to move in this area of East Tennessee.

Societal anger crystallizes and coagulates in many way and over long periods of time. That Ready ended his and others' consciousness will be remembered by those who more regularly read him and mostly forgotten by others. His emotional immature temper served and dis-served his interests. He hadn't the patience or intellectual resolve to be a Breivik, correct.

East TN is chock full of toonies. They may be [existentially simple] racists on one level or another but toonies just the same thank you. As JT was. They consider themselves 'tuned in' to higher mystcal realms. Why, just ask them. They're glad to tell of their reception of the broadcasts. I'd still like to see the Stormfront poll or thread comparing JT Ready to Breivik. A lot would conclude Breivik the more evil (based on prior toonie broadcasts they've tuned in to in their lifetimes) because he killed more and 'innocent kids' too, not just direct multi kulti family members in a semi-auto argument-ending squabble.

[Craig Cobb]

The Bobster quoted in 66

Bumping into migrants in the desert who are thirsty, hungry, and injured has opened his 'whole humanitarian side.'

'I no longer see them as invaders,' he claims. 'I see them as economic refugees.'

A regular toonie Good Samaritan with aqua. Probably got the same good vibrations changing Amber's spic daughter's diapers in the orange roof rented. No, not exactly the American Breivik. He's with jeeboo and daddy now volks. Stormfront hails the way.
=============================

Re: JT Ready in murder suicide shooting 5 dead.
From what I've heard, he had his car backed up to the curb in front of the house, and he shot the family while they were sitting inside their car in the driveway.

He was supposedly armed with 2 pistols and a shotgun.

Rumor is that his girlfriend Amber was leaving him and she had posted about it on her FB page.



edit to add: "On her Facebook page, Amber posted pictures of her daughter Lilly. But there were also cryptic messages about being "frustrated," "worried" and "praying.”

The last message she posted read: "time to get the drama out of my life and make a better life for me, my daughter and my love.""

Hehe, Stormfront has deleted all of Ready's threads. What a surprise.

[littlefieldjohn]

Supreme Court ruling on Arizona's SB1070 coming up, along with Schumer's plan to kill any additional state illegal immigration initiatives in the Congress if the Court rules in favor of Arizona, balanced against " Prominent border patrolling- armed -citizen in -Arizona- going- berserk- with-personal firearms". Along with AG Holder about to be indicted for supplying weapons to Mestizo border gangs through the nigger administration's 'Fast & Furious' racket. Well played.

He was half patriotard, and half CI. I argued with him over calling people jews who weren't. Beyond that I didn't know him. But I do respect his willingness to go out in the field and do something valuable.

Now crawl back under your grape leaves and shut up, ape.

They always do this, and it is wrong. It makes them, and WN by extension, look dirty, cheap and scared. It really makes it look like WN are perpetually engaged in things that are dirty and probably illegal, so that whenever something bad in the world happens we must immediately remove all postings because we are somehow guilty.

Watch how VNN does it, Sugar Don. That's the right way. We don't remove things when there's no legal or other reason to. That lends to the internet such stability and gravitas as a flickering shifty medium can have.

The story is being discussed on Stormfront, but Stormfronters are split on whether it was a murder-suicide or a cartel hit. A thread on VNN Forum indicates support for Ready with the exception of Donald F. Pauly, who although he professes to be pro-White, spends a lot of time denigrating White activists like Edgar Steele.

That's not applying Occam's razor at all. While your scenario certainly is possible, it is not the simplest explanation, nor the most plausible. Applying Occam's razor would lead one to conclude that the guy just went apeshit and offed his family and then himself. Not exactly something that is unheard of. And something that happens with a far greater frequency than Mexican cartels crossing the border and doing hits on low profile targets.

In fact...haven't similar scenarios played out involving no less than 3 or 4 active (ahem...formerly active) VNN forum posters over the last few years? It seems that it has happened with a high enough frequency that one would expect one of you guys to lose your shit and kill yourself and your loved ones any day now.

People who know or are learning about the truth of our threatened White racial existence can't always deal with it, the more since it needless to say tends to be particularly depressing, especially if they've made mistakes in life. There are striking parallels between Curt "Melcur" Maynard and this guy, as others have pointed out.

"My impression of J.T. Ready from seeing his behavior in a Facebook forum was that he was an attention-hog. Talk, talk, talk. Look at me.

Funny thing, when I pointed out that he looked like a Mestizo (in the shape of his eyes) he implied that it was due to Taye-Sachs, which is a Jewish disease."
