Sheriff Joe Arpaio Threatens Arizona Militias: Could Get "30 Rounds Fired Into" Them

Arizona Minuteman pointed weapon at sheriff's deputy after mistaking him for a drug runner

Tough-talking Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio is warning civilians who embark on armed patrols in remote desert terrain that they could end up with "30 rounds fired into" them by one of his deputies.

His unapologetically terse comments came Tuesday after a member of an Arizona Minuteman border-watch movement was arrested over the weekend for pointing a rifle at a Maricopa County sheriff's deputy he apparently mistook for a drug smuggler.

H/T withholding thuggery.. :p

Now here's a question to anyone familiar with this area I have; Is Maricopa a case of the citizens getting the fascism they crave, or one where the political opposition is just willfully out of touch with their basic concerns and the fascist gets elected by lesser-o-evil calculation?

Who's leading this particular toxic waltz?

And all the good 2nd amendment Arizony neocons shout in heady unison, "Praise be to Joe!"
