White Nationalism

In Oct 2011 I was approached by JT Ready, as I was leaving a white power event in Arizona. Jason Todd Ready was the founder of a border militia group and a member of the National Socialist Movement who had sought the elected office of sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona.
JT went on boasting about his accomplishments and suggested that I take his photo. His arrogance bothered me, so I declined. JT said that I “should strongly reconsider.” I replied that my digital card was full. He was persistent, even though it was obvious I was trying to leave. Finally, I caved-in and simulated taking his photo using the mirror-up lock on my camera (it makes a clicking sound). He said I wouldn’t regret it.
On May 2, 2012, Ready shot and killed his girlfriend, her daughter, and granddaughter, the daughter’s fiancé, and himself at his home in Gilbert, Arizona.
