Armed Protesters take over Fed owned Building

http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/03/us/oregon-wildlife-refuge-protest/index.html

Yep. Another chapter in the Cliven Bundy saga. Protesters have taken over a Federal building in Oregon, claiming the government is using unfair tactics to try and get them to sell them their farmland. Shit hit the fan when ranchers where arrested for arson. The ranchers claim they where doing it to kill off invasive crops and to prevent wildfires. The protesters think the arrest was the government trying to punish ranchers.

Shit gonna go down folks
 
They've already run out of food from what I hear...

What do you think are the chances that they'll start resorting to cannibalism?
 
It would appear the cannibalism has already begun. "You're surrounded by informants".

Bundy got help after all, maybe even some snacks. Militia groups are forming a "perimeter" to prevent a Waco-style battle. They're not going to be on the preserve itself, because they don't agree with his methods, but they're scared the Bundy boys will be taken away in body-bags.

Rapolla said he had also taken sausage McMuffins to FBI agents who are stationed at nearby Burns Municipal Airport to monitor the occupation and had coffee with deputies from the county sheriff's office on Thursday.

"I think you're a jack-booted thug and I'm prepared to drill you between the eyes to assist a media whore, but here, have some greasy shit." On the other hand, I'm not surprised by his coffee break with the County Sheriff -after all, it's a core belief for them that local government will be more reasonable and do a better job than a distant bureaucrat every time.

They don't seem to get that nobody fucking likes some asshole showing up from out of town and making their lives and jobs more difficult.

Ha! Very true. And making his life more difficult in drastic ways... there are loonies ready to kill the Sheriff, as well.

We shouldn't be surprised they only respect authority when it agrees with them.

This is the lamest insurrection ever. I want the time I spent watching this develop back.
And to think they were talking so big and wanted to be taken seriously. I've come across whiny vegans with more backbone.
 
Honestly I'm just glad this isn't looking to turn into a mini re-visitation to Waco.
Whoever's quarterbacking this on the federal side of things is smart. These dudes are complete bozos and I don't know a single pro-2nd amendment person whom I respect who thinks otherwise. That said, they're trespassing. I'm not sure if being armed in the commission of that crime, or if the fact that it's on federal land is any kind of modifier, but this isn't like Waco, where the concern was that children were being abused and might get harmed or killed due to the Branch Davidians hard-line anti-government sentiments and large caches of supposedly illegal weapons (and they were, and did.)

The best course of action is pretty much what we see playing out; Keep your distance. Monitor the situation. Positively identify as many of them as you can. Wait for them to lose interest (or food, or public attention) and wander off. Pick them up later while they're coming out of their home-town WalMart with their arms full of TV dinners and Skoal instead of their AR's

That's incidentally exactly what they should have done at Waco itself. Koresh was known to jog daily at an exact time, alone, every day. They could have just picked up Koresh when he was jogging. Without its head, the cult would not have acted as it did.

They played Rambo instead and lots of people (including the kids they supposedly cared about so much) died.

Bringing guns into the park is another charge. Also, they're obstructing govt business and apparently tearing down a fence, so that's destruction of federal property. Agree that the smart play is to wait for them to disperse and pick em up later.

Convicting them of some kind of firearm felony will knock them out of ever (legally) owning a gun again. Then if they ever get popped on a felon in possession rap they can go away for a long time.

It seems we're all on the same page: Wait 'em out. Don't let them become martyrs for their "cause".

Wait them out, bust 'em, and then prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Fed lawyers? Get creative. Stick these rednecks in prison for a long time.

If we start letting militia morons think this sort of bullshit is okay, and they'll get away with it, the next time they'll occupy a federal building full of innocent people while armed to the teeth.
