Tucson human rights activist Isabel
Garcia said the Tombstone Tumbleweed's rhetoric is the latest
manifestation of a militant vigilantism that has long existed
in Cochise County with the acceptance and encouragement of local
officials.
She said Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever's
public friendship with groups like Glenn Spencer's American Patrol,
.... and the clear unwillingness on the part of Cochise County
Attorney Chris Roll to investigate and prosecute the two brothers
have given them credibility and encouraged groups like Texas-based
Ranch Rescue and the new Tombstone Militia. |
