Tying Up Loose Ends

Besmirching the dead isn’t my style, even when the decedent in question was a heavily armed neo-Nazi white supremacist who stands accused of murdering four people, including a toddler, before turning his gun on himself.

But I don’t think it’s unfair to J.T. Ready to point out that the FBI says it’s looking into a number of unsolved shootings of immigrants in the Arizona desert during the time Ready was leading a band of border guard vigilantes.

Was he involved? No evidence has emerged yet that he was, but authorities are investigating that possibility. For now though, Ready has been cleared in one of those killings, a double homicide last month.
