Felony Friday - The Extremist (Patreon)

A relatively well known Arizona neo-Nazi and anti-Semite starts a private armed citizens border patrol, called US Border Guard.  The man’s views and actions grow increasingly more alarming and extremist overtime. While running for Sheriff in 2012, he openly advocates for the use of explosive landmines and lethal force to stop illegal immigration at the US/Mexico border. But in May of 2012 - the man many Mesa, Gilbert, and other surrounding law enforcement agencies knew by name, finally snapped - but not while patrolling the Southern Arizona desert as most had predicted.

Content Trigger Warning:  This episode includes extremely disturbing 911 call audio. Listener discretion is advised.
