Hate Crime: Christian Conservative Republican Activist Arrested for Murdering 
Two Legal Latino Students! Proclaims Upcoming "Revolution!" 
In one of the most heinous HATE Crimes against Latinos in U.S. history, two 
young Latino students were brutally murdered yesterday by Republican activist 
and Christian Conservative Minister Donnie Ray Baker (60). When Deputies 
arrived at the murder-site, they found innocent, legal (from Chile), Latino 
students: Nicolas Pablo Corp-Torres (23) and Racine Balbontin-Aragondona (22), 
deceased at the scene. Deputies also discovered three victims that had been 
wounded. Fransisco Javier Cofre-Fernande (25) was air lifted by life flight to 
Sacred Heart and is in critical condition. Sebastian Mauricio Arizaga-Suarez 
(27) was also air lifted to Sacred Heart and is listed in stable condition at 
this time. The third victim, David Alonzo Bilbao-Meza (21) was taken to a local 
hospital and is listed in good condition. It is heartbreaking to learn that 
these innocent children, at the beginning of their lives, were so brutally 
murdered by someone who proclaimed he was a
Christian minister.

The murder rampage began a little before 2:00 am Thursday morning at the units 
of the Summer Lake Townhomes in Miramar Beach, Florida. Investigators said 
Baker left his townhouse, armed with a rifle, walked across the complex to the 
victims' unit's window, peaked inside, and opened fire.
After the shooting, witnesses saw Baker carrying a rifle though the pool area 
across the street to his home on the other side of the complex. Authorities say 
he locked himself inside and waited. When authorities arrived, they used a 
loudspeaker to talk with Baker, said Michele Nicholson with the Okaloosa County 
Sheriff's Office. Baker surrendered without further incident shortly after 6 
a.m. His tennis shoes were discarded near the door of his home at Unit 25, 
where he was arrested.Afterwards, neighbor Crystal Lynn said, "he did come up 
to me one time and asked me if I was ready for the revolution to begin and if I 
had any immigrants in my house to get them out."

While many Republicans are already attempting to distance themselves from Baker 
proclaiming him a lone nutcase, on the Landover Baptist website, one Republican 
Christian Conservative, Jeb Thurmond, has already proclaimed: "Walton County 
Republican Headquarters volunteer Dannie R Baker is being persecuted for 
pre-emptively defending America against potential illegal immigrants." Some 
Republican, Christian Conservative and ANTI Immigration Reform websites are 
predicting an on-coming Revolution against the Obama Administration and their 
supporters. Reading the Landover Baptist website provides eerie insights into 
their diabolical agenda. How can anyone with these heinous agendas pretend to 
be Christian?
Baker was a pitiful man, looking for love. On one "looking for love" website, 
this 60 year old man advertised for a woman between 18 - 29. He said, "I'm 
looking for a woman to be my bride and to have my children and to enjoy my 
lifestyle on the beach in Florida, USA!!! I want a Christian who wants to be a 
ministers wife." It is a good thing no one answered. 
Let's hope Baker is charged, to the fullest extent of the law, for the HATE 
Crimes he so callously committed.
