Conspiracy nonsense. It's a common belief (that I think might be kind of sort of true) that the government can listen to any cellphone they want whenever they want, even if they're turned off, so obviously the government is listening to all cellphones, all the time. Since these guys are a threat to liberal tyranny then obviously Oblammo is spying on them literally all day every day. Gotta carry a jammer to make sure.

Its not like we have a bunch of aircraft specifically built to intercept and track coms. No. No such thing. Whatosever.

Small note on cellphone jammer talk- cell phone jammers are very extra special illegal under federal law(FCC I think)- to use or own. Don't run a cell phone jammer.

I heard some of the yeehawdists felt like federal agencies were bullying to try to get them to sell their land.

It seems that their land is fairly intermingled with the federally-owned land, to the point where the shortest route between one section of their land and another section of their land might be over a tract of land owned by the feds. Previously, when moving their cattle from point A to point B, they were permitted to move their cattle across the shorter route through federal land, as long as they notified federal authorities and requested approval far enough in advance, didn't leave their herd on federal land for more than a certain period of time, and so on. Naturally, they routinely ignored and broke those rules and restrictions, which led to that permit being revoked. So they've made up a story about the feds wanting their land, in an attempt to tap into the same anger people get when they hear about a poor black neighborhood being eminent domain'd by the city so that it can be bulldozed in order to build a shopping center or highway.

None of them will see jail time, they won't even be questioned, they'll be allowed to leave, the right declare victory, and they'll still get to go home to seeing Obama being impeached on the news over squashing gun rights.

No jail time, but they will be fined for the damages done. Cliven Bundy may have "won" his little standoff, but it didn't make his court case - or the million-plus dollars of back fees he owes - go away, and most of the militiamen camping out on his ranch gave up and went home after they failed to crowdfund their daily bills and ended up having to go home and back to work. The federal government can afford to wait and take their sweet time; these guys can't.

Has anyone actually taken their side yet? Where's that convoy of sympathizers we were told to expect by now?

In my Facebook feed apparently; my family is all in support of these guys, and when I went downstairs the night before last sometime after posting negative things about the militia lunatics my dad said that sometimes he has trouble believing I'm his son and we got into a huge argument that went nowhere because whenever I say anything even remotely negative about a Republican or conservative my dad goes on a long rant about the various terrible things liberals have done.

He has yet to comment on the article I posted earlier where his favorite presidential candidate Ted Cruz expressed the exact same sentiments I did (sans my calling the militia terrorists). I wonder if he'll disavow Cruz for this.

i dont see how trucking out the riot gear is the bare minimum LE response. we can also just figure out who these dudes are, where they live, and serve them summons when they get bored and return home. i mean it would cost millions just to set up a pointless cordon so these dudes can feel like they're accomplishing more than embarassing themselves

having cops show up there in person would be warranted if they were holding hostages, but it's certainly not useful just to soothe the ruffled feathers of internet liberals pounding the table and yelling about punishing the locals

Oh, Ken finally realized that just because he supports free speech he doesn't have to condone every word his awful friends say on his site or give them a platform for hate speech? If this is a trend I might start reading Popehat again instead of avoiding it because I don't want to read yet another article where Clark does something like defend actual neo-Nazis.

Edit: I mean, Ken can still be a massive idiot at times, independent of his allowing racist extremists to post on his site, but his legal analyses are good at least.

Edit again: I just checked the site, it was in fact Clark who left, who was the one who sent the tweet we both mentioned. Alright, well, the community fostered there by things like letting an rear end in a top hat like Clark post there for so long is terrible, and Ken and co. can still be terrible at times, but the site might be worth using again now that the worst is gone.

I would have to guess there's at least one person there undercover for feds/staties keeping track of names and any personal info people have there (license plates, ect) so if poo poo really starts popping off the feds know who they are manhunting.

Considering that's an unarmed gaggle of hippies versus a declared revolutionary group that's armed to the teeth, something tells me this comparison isn't made in good faith. But yes, if it came down to it, I would support a measured law enforcement response, which is exactly what has happened on numerous occasions.

You may note that The Gathering has an extremely strong law enforcement presence whenever it happens, including riot gear at the ready. Something that isn't happening here.
