Title: Militia invades Wildlife Refuge
Post by: Cataclysm on January 02, 2016, 10:56:00 pm
"The Bundy family of Nevada joined with hard-core militiamen Saturday to take over the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, vowing to occupy the remote federal outpost 50 miles southeast of Burns for years.

The occupation came shortly after an estimated 300 marchers – militia and local citizens both – paraded through Burns to protest the prosecution of two Harney County ranchers, Dwight Hammond Jr. and Steven Hammond, who are to report to prison on Monday."

...

"Ammon Bundy said the goal is to turn over federal land to local ranchers, loggers and miners. He said he met with 10 or so residents in Burns on Friday to try to recruit them, but they declined."

With any luck, that lunatic Bundy will finally get what's coming to him.

So is he buying the land or is he just gonna try and occupy it?

Ironbite-cause I'm pretty sure this won't work the way he and his men think it will.

They're safe. All of the wild eyed armed radicals there are white, Christian and conservative. The cops won't shoot 'em.

Of course, they're white.  If black, Hispanic, or Arabic people were to try and pull this kinda shit, there'd be a god damned massacre.  That, or drone strike on American soil.

Put a nice tall electric fence topped with razor wire around them, cut the power, and wait them out.

or

Don't cut the power, give them the minimum amount of food, water, etc. the law requires, and don't let them out.

That would most assuredly result in the world's ugliest orgy and even more inbreeding than is routine for the Bundy's.

I found this article on it and I thought it was worth sharing.

I agree that the federal government has been comparatively soft on these groups. However I think that's probably a good thing. It would be nice if such restraint could be shown to all   wacko (WACO) groups.

I agree cut the power and wait.

Showing retraint to all armed groups would be admirable but that's not what's happening. The article mentioned that eco activists have been charged with terrorism offenses. This signals a troubling message. Hippies can get called terrorists for pissing off private companies but grab some guns, bibles and American flags and engage is some Grand Theft National Park and you'll be assured of getting treated with kid gloves.

The ranchers who sparked off the initial protest have surrendered to authorities and made statements distancing themselves from the Bundy's (http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/oregon-ranchers-who-prompted-militant-takeover-surrender-to-authorities-report/)

I wonder if the "hands-off" approach is actually a strategy? Those Militia goons are hell-bent on going down in a blaze of glory. The the Feds don't have a big presence, these goobers will just get bored, go home and watch Duck Dynasty or whatever's airing in it's place.

THEN, the Feds can make a personal visit to their homes.

I hate to think that The Feds just ignore this stuff. I know the Govt. is rife with corruption but not everybody in charge is an idiot. Even a right-wing U.S. Government has gone after Klan and NeoNazi groups.

The Feds OWN that land, so I doubt they'd appreciate having it stolen.

Wow! That's cool! Also; You know you're a kook when fellow wingnuts (even the ones who inspired your little 'Militia' shindig) think you're bonkers, admit they were wrong and turn themselves in.

Because nobody wants to call it terrorism.  That's why.

Ironbite-only real "lone wolves" can do terrorism right.

And best of all, the dead one is the guy who referred to his foster kids as his source of income.

Maybe with luck, they'll all clear out without their lead---

Oh who am I kidding, with Bundy in custody and one death, they'll try to attack the FBI or local police. They are just that stupid. And once the bodies are nicely cleaned up and disposed of, proper order can be restored.

Any guesses on what happens next?

Article with a video about the arrest: (Trigger warning: this video contains footage of a person getting shot to death) https://www.sofmag.com/fury-disagreement-erupt-over-osp-shooting-of-lavoy-finicum/

The video link is to FBI Youtube channel and the pro-militia nuts are even more convinced that this was an ambush and murder than before.

Personally it looks like they do the kind of stunts that would have gotten black folks shot to death by police in USA much earlier. HE WAS REACHING FOR A GUN! If you look at the bit where the guy gets shot (approx 6:00) he was going for his pocket, that contained a loaded gun, while being surrounded by FBI agents who were attempting to arrest him. If this had happened in Florida and he had been shot by Zimmerman that would have been seen as self defense.

I think it's a tragedy when anybody is shot to death but, if you're surrounded by well armed highly trained policemen telling you to put your hands up it can't hurt to do that.

Putting your hands in your pockets on the other hand...

Based on the video it seems a suicide by a cop. I am no expert on police tactics but I can't help thinking that maybe with different tactics even this situation could have been solved without anyone dying. There have been cases here in Finland where someone tries a suicide by a cop in a situation where the cops are prepared for it. Those situations just end up with one of the cops putting an MP5 bullet to the suspect's thigh which seems to be enough to stop anyone not high on PCP.

The dead man is the one who said in a TV interview and on several other occasions that he would never go to jail and would rather die fighting the police.

...Sooo this is not a particularly surprising end for him. But sure, let's go with the idea that this was "plain murder" by the authorities and he "dindu nuffing wrong."

Honestly if the police shoot a black guy in USA who had a) tried to run away b) refused order to stop and surrender c) reached for a gun, how many of these same people would say the police were correct in shooting him?
