Bringing children on to the site of a potential armed confrontation sounds like the epitome of stupid. Or are they playing this gambit?
This is what 15 years of Fox News propaganda bullshit has begotten, and every single Democrat running for office this year needs to point this out and expose this to the voters - that this culture of extremist secessionist fanatics would not exist if not for the encouragement of the right-wing media and the Republican candidates so desperate to pander for votes that they’ll endorse any mad jackoff.
Have a heart. Conservatives get to hate everyone. Libs have to be much more selective, so their hate builds up. When an acceptable white bad guy comes along they need to strike while the iron’s hot.
There’s a great opportunity for profit.
The USA is ranked number ten in the world for crap per capita-excrementa, and number two in the world for total bombers.
So how about instead of aerial bombing the number two out of the terrorists à la 1985 MOVE, just aerial bomb them with number two until they leave, and seeing as they are ranchers, call it fertilizer, bill them for it, and then once you elect The Donald, sell the debt to China.

I LOLed.
Thank.
Hell, I think I’ll pickup, move out to Oregon, and claim some government land for myself. Maybe build some low income housing or something.
The Oathkeepers have come out to oppose the insurgency. It isn’t about the Hammond’s…it’s about not letting people forget about the Bundy cult.
Well, if you expect POOR people to pay for that shit good luck…
OTOH if you expect the gubment to foot the bill…well…get in while ya can
The Malheur Visitor Center website says “Get Involved” and asks you to call them if you have questions, so I did just now.
No joss. The terrorists are not answering the phone. That’s pretty irresponsible, if you ask me.
ALL Land Management!
I vote we send them a black sheriff…too bad Cleavon Little is no longer available to play the part.
They are committing armed insurrection. This is serious stuff and if left unchallenged will unravel the republic. Sure, ideally they would be taken into custody and tried. They deserve that chance, but if they fail to surrender, I say blow them to bits and make an example of them.
Ruby Ridge was their own home though, based on a setup by the Feds followed by a ham fisted assault, including a sniper shot into a woman holding a baby.
Waco was a the serving of an arrest warrant that could have been handled while Koresh was out on his daily jog.
The bombing in Philly of the MOVE group was another example of what happens when everyone rushes to take out the nutjobs: Move - Wikipedia
By the time of the Montana Freemen standoff, the police authorities changed their system to avoid excessive force and resultant risk and death: Montana Freemen - Wikipedia
So put me down (for those who are keeping score) in the “circle the wagons, play some ABBA, and starve them out” camp.
I wish the iron would cool down, but that seems to not be the case.
And then what we have today:
Also today, we have Trump, Cruz and others that fan those embers to keep the heat going, in past elections I saw the Republicans totally condemning acts like that, but nowadays they manage to criticize the perpetrator while at the same time they blame the target. Well, fie to that, and to FOX news if they think they can do as before by supporting guys like Bundy.
So there was no search warrant? :dubious:
CMC fnord!
The fascists out themselves when an inconsequential shack is occupied. “Oh the horror! The Republic is under attack”. Only the truly deranged give two shits about the federal government. The regular folks, like myself, are either getting the popcorn out, or ignoring the incident altogether. Lol at SDMBers with their shock and seriousness. Get a life.
You’re a fucking tool.
Seriously, if you don’t live in this town, and you are concerned at all about this development you need a hobby.
i know this is not movie, but it’s 2015. Don’t we have some drones and precision bombs that could take out the trailers? If not explosive bombs, then stink bombs that would ruin the food.
Tibby, gah! That would work.
