North <br>  <br> County Times reporter William Finn Bennet quoted Andy <br>  <br> Ramirez of Friends of the Border Patrol as saying that <br>  <br> the vigilante terrorist James Chase of Oceanside, <br>  <br> California proposed to him the use of \"snipers\" during <br>  <br> their patrol of the border which will start as soon as <br>  <br> July 18. <br><br> Andy Ramirez said he has now refused to be associated <br>  <br> with the terrorist James Chase or his organization <br>  <br> because he doesn't like his militant approach to <br>  <br> patrolling the border. Andy Ramirez added that he has <br>  <br> several issues with the vigilante James Chase. Ramirez <br>  <br> said he began avoiding the terrorist's phone calls <br>  <br> after an April conversation in which James Chase, <br>  <br> mentioned the use of \"snipers\". \"That scared the <br>  <br> daylights out of me,\" Ramirez said. \"We decided we <br>  <br> weren't going to have anything to do with him.\" <br><br> James Chase is a veteran of the Minutemen vigilante's <br>  <br> Mexico\/Arizona operations and bragged to the North <br>  <br> County Times in an interview, prior to those <br>  <br> operations, that he would be packing a revolver. There <br>  <br> are now reports that a terrorist arm of the Minutemen <br>  <br> are stashing weapons and explosives at a safe house <br>  <br> near San Ysidro to be used against Mexican immigrants <br>  <br> or against Mexicans on the other side of the border. <br><br> James Chase is a close lieutenant of the Minutemen <br>  <br> leader James Gilchrist of Aliso Viejo, California. Jim <br>  <br> Gilchrist defended the statements of James Chase. The <br>  <br> Minutemen leader said that James Chase is a former US <br>  <br> Marine and that he is seeing the border operations <br>  <br> from a military perspective. Hate e-mail received by <br>  <br> La Voz de Aztlan also support Chase and his use of <br>  <br> \"snipers\". One vigilante wrote that Chase would be <br>  <br> \"blowing-up the heads of the wetback scums\" as he did <br>  <br> the \"heads of the gooks\" in Vietnam. <br>  <br> <\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Minutemen vigilantes will deploy &quot;snipers&quot; along the","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2005\/06\/128390.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
