How appropriate - Malheur is French for “tragedy”
This is a false flag operation by the Obama administration as an excuse to confiscate guns. Sorry, I wanted to be ahead of the curve.
Wait a minute: secession “not on the docket” in any state? There is a junior high civics teacher somewhere who lost one a little while back. Can’t win them all.
I’d go with sedition rather than treason here, with a side of destruction of Federal property. Obnoxious people who commit minor offenses while armed and loudly aggressive should be treated as dangerous but (so far) harmless. If they are recruiting people with minor children to join them, that may constitute hostage-taking, and the sentences get longer. But it is important to realize the strategy of the incompetent loser: these are not die-hard cultists, these are adolescent pus-brains who fight “tyranny” (a word they can’t even define) by breaking into a vacant ranger station and talking like they just captured Fort Sumter. I’d be happiest if they were all taken into custody, in the next few days, reported as vandalism, on page 38
So far? Trespass and possibly vandalism. Hopefully it won’t get worse.
It always take me a few weeks to get the hang of a new year. :smack:
Hello, Muffin (sorry can’t boldface), I’ve missed you. I think you are right. There are so many laws (mostly in red states, but really, everywhere) that multi-multiply sentences for crimes committed while carrying weapons, but this (as far as I’ve been able to discover), oddly, isn’t one of those cases.
The best thing would be for these feckless children to be exposed as the weak and ignorant pretenders they are. But there’s another one now, typing her/his manifesto safely in his room, ready to make them, or him/herself, the next hero/ine(s) of the stupid.
Dude, when you talk courage, I listen. I’ m sure there was a reason you didn’t confront that gang of insurance agents, Rite Aid managers, and small businessmen over their loud motorcycles and posted about it here, instead. I bet that was one of those “tactical decisions,” right? Next time they upset you, well, they better just watch their sweet patooties, right?
Yeah yeah yeah you fuckin pussy.
Start another thread about me and I’ll be happy to chime in.
At least I ain’t some wanna be biker gang member who big shtick is you don’t mess with a fucking wanna be biker.
Is sedition technically a crime, with a definition and punishment (like, say, vandalism?) Or is it just a pejorative term for rotten anti-government behavior?
Anyway, these guys have done plenty to warrant jail time, starting with criminal trespass. There’s no real need to lodge any “political” charges against them. That would allow them to claim to be “political prisoners.”
In the US yes it is. Seditious conspiracy.
Nine members of a christian militia were charged with it in 2010 so its still on the books.
I’ve seen a lot of social media today, pointing out the “what if these guys were black/muslim” thing, which is fine, and true. But given that these nitwits haven’t shot a gun, or taken a hostage and are basically locking themselves inside a frozen visitors center…I’d say the operative word to describe them would be “nut jobs”, not terrorists.
I started a thread about you. A fellow of your stature does deserve individual attention. I’m especially hoping you’ll expand on the greatest day of your life i.e. the day you shot at some guy. I just know that it will be a thrilling story!
I’m glad this is the Pit, so that I can say that you are an unmitigated asshole.
The Texas Republican Party was trying to get a secession vote on the primary ballot, but the Party apparatchiks refused to allow it
Under Federal law, by being in possession of a firearm during the trespass, the misdemeanor trespass penalty of 0-6 months could be increased by an additional month to up to an additional year and a half, depending on the convict’s previous record.

Cool! That looks applicable. Much more appropriate than misdemeanor trespass.
Hang on. You’re a hard-core, “all taxes are theft” libertarian who uses the phrase “War of Northern Aggression” unironically.
By what possible measure are you “normal folk?”
Bastards!
Which brings up an interesting question, which I am confident has probably been answered here, somewhere. If the state legislature votes to secede, I assume that Congress would have to ratify the secession, in the same way that Congress had to vote to admit the state: would the votes of that state’s Congressional delegation be counted, or would they be treated as provisional non-citizens?
I’ve heard they’re being called Vanilla ISIS too.
Just turn off the toilets, and stop the beer deliveries and turn off the cable. They’ll be out by February when the NASCAR season starts.
