I look forward to the day when this innovative law enforcement strategy is applied to more dangerous situations, like an unarmed black person being pulled over for a traffic violation.

Unfortunately more than one law enforcement organization exists in the US, and not all of them agree on tactics. The FBI generally isn't the one shooting unarmed black people, and it's a safe bet these people would be facing a drastically different response if they were facing down, say, the NYPD.

I think people are just mad that legal left-wing protests like Occupy Wall Street are taken down by force by local police, with students getting tazed and maced, while at the same time these right-wing assholes get to point weapons at federal officers / take over federal property and the response is "gee I guess we shouldn't do anything because it might lend credibility to their movement."

It's just funny seeing the government's response to protests movements depending on which side of the political spectrum the protesters stand on.

That's because those people lack anything more than a superficial sense of nuance, and are so busy rushing to a kneejerk response based on what they already believed to be the case that they miss crucial details. Can you really not think of any other differences between the two situations besides political alignment when you complain that OWS was evicted by local police from privately-owned property after two months, but these assholes have yet to face a major crackdown from federal agents after occupying federal land for four days? Clearly the only reason that the FBI isn't treating these guys out in the woods the same way the NYPD treats black people is because of skin color, there's no other possible reason that federal authorities aren't committing the same atrocities that totally unrelated law enforcement agencies have used in a few cherry-picked instances!

Author claims to have a law degree ('of U of Oregon'), and yet writes like this:

quote:

With our powerful cameras, and ability to move unseen in the wilderness, we have found and documented your illegal hunts, your illegal traps and all sorts of illicit activities, and are constantly feeding that information to law enforcement, and we have finally got many of you poachers on the run and into jails. And I for one am a westerner sick to death of you welfare queens and cheats living off of BLM land, illegally gutting our wilderness and our wildlife...

Those of us who are international wildlife and nature photographers regularly face charging elephants, attacking lions and grizzlies, hidden crocodiles, massive storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, the hottest, coldest and windiest conditions, and all kinds of poisonous snakes and bugs in our work, and we know the outdoors and wilderness from desert to jungle to sea to mountain to tundra from pole to equator better then any poacher or criminal or yeehaw yokel ever will, and we are not afraid to protect it.

Possibly their punctuation was eaten by birds?

Occupy inspired national-coordination of Law Enforcement within a week - because it could be so easily imitated and it was positve. If someone is homeless why is it a crime to sleep outdoors? Why is it a crime to serve food for free? Why don't we just have public cafeterias so no one is hungry in America?

This is an armed tantrum that supports good old capitalist 'anarchism'

All the supplies in the world won't change the fact that these guys are idiots who not only showed up to a siege unprepared but also managed to piss off everyone else in their tiny community by billing this as a peaceful protest then taking over a government building. This sit in will implode on it's own, the absolute best move the government can make is to just wait it out.

The flaw in your starvation hypothesis is that they can just go and buy more snacks.

What is the tactical significance of hiding under a tarp?
