Minuteman Border Fence Vandalized
By Mark Stine, KOLD News 13
There are holes in a border fence put up by the Minuteman Project. Volunteers with the border watch group built it last month near Palominas. But someone tore it up.
The new Minuteman fence resembles the current border fence and it now has even more similarities because parts of it are in pieces.
"We expected some sort of statement from across the border, but we didn't think they'd go this far," says Jack Ladd as he drives along the new Minuteman border fence that sits on the edge of his ranch, and assesses the damage. "If anything, it's going to show the people of the United States it's even worse than what they thought."
An 800-foot section of the three mile barbed wire fence was cut.
"Cut so cleverly that it could not be repaired, it has to be restrung because it's cut right here at the post," says Carmen Mercer of the Minuteman Project.
"It's very disappointing and of course we'd like to know what happened. If it was reaction from the other side, if it was reaction from, I don't know, question mark there."
The Minutemen aren't surprised someone wanted the new barrier destroyed, but they are surprised the culprits weren't caught in the act.
"Especially over the lengths that it was done. It's just surprising to me that it was not getting the attention of the border patrol when it happened."
And since the act of vandalism, the volunteer group is increasing security along the fence line to keep it from happening again.
"We'll be there to prevent that, you better believe it."
The Minutemen say they've reported this vandalism to the Cochise County Sheriff's Department and hopefully they will be able to find out who destroyed the fence.
OH HEY THIS FENCE IS BLOCKING MY WAY OF ENTERING AMERICA ILEGALLY. LETS CUT IT DOWN.YOU MIGHT THINK THAT THIS WAS DONE BY THOSE LEFTIST IN BOULDER WHO THINK ALL PROPERTY IS PUBLIC WHEN IT COMES TO THIER RIGHT TO GO HIKING.

You know it would have to take alot of cutting to trash a fence. Beaing and ex-farmboy i know a thing or two about such things. I bet it was a crew of people that high-tailed it to the area and trashed. Next time they ought to rig "hot". That will give the vandals a thing or two to think about.They could also post some geese or other critter such as a llama to patrol the areas. They can be very protective of their domains. Both make excellent watch dogs and can put some serious hurts on a fella.
If I am not mistaken... wasn't the fence a woven wire one with a 4-point two strand barb on top? If so then they had not thought of using good streatching methods and reinforcing with the posts properly. Either that or I have spent too much time "fenceing" for cattle and hogs.
This vandalism does not surprise me at all. In fact, I had expected this to happen. The culprits, if/when found will catch all sorts of hell and praise. I wonder just how many politicians will give them kudos?
