Like that guy said earlier, this is basically a major bummer to those groups, because it confirms their greatest insecurity that maybe they have devoted their lives to the false belief in a government boogyman, and maybe they are the delusional ones, not the American public.

Kind of an ideological buyer's remorse.

I really don't think that's what's going on. Oathkeepers for one specifically said that the Hammonds don't want them there, and that you need to have your t's crossed and your i's dotted if you're going to claim a trial was corrupted, which Bundy did not. This is just a dumb hill to die on.

It's this what bothers me always and I'd like to hammer it down the throats of idiots. For them, war and fighting is about rifle attachements and having more guns. They just don't get that the real militaries are more than that. Without socks, food, toilet paper and warm equipment everything stops.

They always talk about the war, but aren't prepared to hold out a day in the wilderness. But they do have guns. It's just that you don't even have to shoot at an enemy that's killing itself while trucks bring you supplies.

That's actually one of the biggest things that people fail to realize about war in general. Wars aren't won by men with weapons. Wars are won by logistics. Dudes with guns aren't useful at all if they don't have anything to eat. Tanks can't do a drat thing if they don't have gas. Good luck fighting after you ran out of bullets and no that stockpile won't help you for long.

So, OK you have a headquarters in Bum gently caress, Oregon. How are you going to move your glorious revolution? Think you can just roll your truck up to the gas station and get gas and nobody will notice? You plan on paying for your supplies or just taking them? Good luck doing the first if you have no money and good luck doing the second without pissing everybody else off.

Granted I think the militia movement as a whole is disowning these guys because they're making them all look like twits. "Yeah we'll totally take down the federal government! Well, soon as somebody sends us some Funions and some Red Bull. And some matches. And nice socks. Yeah uh...could you send some beer too?"

Go check out some prepper videos on YouTube. They're all about how many guns they can carry in their brand new milsurp bug-out bags. They might throw in a bag of trail mix, a couple water packets, a few band-aids, and maybe some wet wipes if they're really on the ball, but it's all about how many weapons they can carry. They never carry a change of clothes or socks or blankets or anything you might actually need that doesn't kill people, because they're just playing real life GI Joe and probably have never camped for longer than a weekend in their lives.

Someone explain to me how setting a fire on fed land somehow covers up poaching or is somehow less conspicuous than a few blood splatters in the middle of nowhere.

Someone saw them doing it, and interrupted their hunt to kick them off the land, and therefore would have known exactly where to look for evidence. Hence the fire.

Well, let's be honest. If the disaster/CW2 they secretly masturbate to ever actually happened they'd be using all those guns to hold up people for their food, fuel and water. The people they're really angry at, the environmentalist hippies they'd love to beat half to death behind a bar can go out into actual no-roads wilderness with 20lbs of gear and live for a month.

It's like the plot to Bad Company starring Jeff Bridges. Also the age-old quote, "Amateurs think ballistics. Generals think logistics."

Liberal_L33t posted:

Yes, because I refuse to accept that any responsibility for a terrorist bombing is on the heads of the federal agencies for doing their job in dismantling a cultist militia drilling with illegal automatic weapons and keeping child sex-slaves. The responsibility for the federal building bombing or something like it would most probably have happened anyway (the fanatics had plenty to be angry about even without Waco).

If we followed the train of logic that legitimate law enforcement actions are responsible for any and all acts of violent retaliation, does that mean that in response to the North Hollywood shootout, metropolitan police departments should have implemented a policy of always letting armed bank robbers walk away with their loot? Hey, they could always settle for trying to dig up and repossess the cash later when the criminals weren't looking, right? That would be less likely to draw a violent response!

It is 100% the LEO's fault for getting their embryonic (at the time) no-knock boner on. They could've politely knocked on the door with the warrant instead of rolling a SWAT team up. Or arrested David Koresh anytime he went into town. Bank robbers are already engaged in pointing guns or shooting people. Terrible comparison 0/10

But how many people a day do you have to rob to feed 150 dudes a day. Who is in charge of storing it? Who organizes the daily looting?

If the US Military this instant got .223 bolt action rifles and changed into jeans, hiking boots and blue fleece combo, the organization would still be devastating.

I asked this in a different thread as well, but are authorities blocking the road to keep other people from joining or resupplying them, or are they not really giving a poo poo? I can't decide if them giving up because of zero planning or because people don't give enough of a gently caress to help them is the funniest outcome.

Nah. Think of it this way: they're currently providing great entertainment value for most people in the country. If you squash their puny rebellion, you'd be taking that way. Let them continue making a fool of themselves. It's not like they're hurting anyone.
