The militia would operate in vast desert expanses like this in Cochise County.By Jim Becker bio | email Bill Davis is calm and methodical as he describes his group's goals. You could say he has a deadly earnestness. "If we think they're carrying drugs, weapons, contraband, we'll get out in front of 'em and stop 'em," says Davis. "They won't get past us. You can write into that what you want, short of shooting them." Davis is recruiting combat veterans, with kill records, to camp out and patrol along the border, and he isn't afraid to let the world know. "I want the word to get out, and I'm sure it is, that the routine isn't going to be tolerated anymore," he adds. Why kill records? Davis says he wants professionals-- "no wannabes, no Rambos." "If it comes to when shots are fired in the general direction of these guys, they have my authorization to return fire, if they're in defense of their life or their buddy next to them, return fire, stop it as fast as it starts, and they're capable of it. And as fast as it starts, believe me, they'll stop it," promises Davis. "It's very dangerous, and it's very risky," says Tony Estrada, Sheriff of neighboring Santa Cruz County. "They don't know exactly what these cartels reaction is going to be if they get in the way." Estrada worries members of the militia could get caught in a crossfire between law enforcement and traffickers. He also says smugglers could view militia as 'rip-off artists'. "These individuals that are moving people or drugs through these remote areas of the border will stop at nothing," adds Estrada. In any event, Davis says he has received 8,000 applications for the armed patrols from all over the US and Canada and could have several dozen militia members ready to act within a few hours notice. "What we do is we act as a glorified neighborhood watch, and we're a deterrent," he says. http://www.kold.com/Global/story.asp?S=12353515 Last edited by wetibbe; 05-01-2010 at 05:27 AM. |
