Anyhow, content! Sort of. This is a very, very angry man, and he calls what the US Government did to the Native Americans equivalent to Waco and Ruby Ridge, so that's. That's a thing.

The federal government really got in the way of those benevolent, tolerant states trying to live peacefully with them there Indians.

Well the closest example we have so far is their dads ranch standoff and if that's anything to go by: however the bundy's want it to, no charges, they go back to the ranch surrounded by armed seditionists and then do it all again in a few months.

But this time around the govt is gonna be real tough with these guys and not actually release the assholes from prison that Bundy wants. Take that!

I cannot believe the FBI is negotiating with Bundy.

Seriously, why didn't he get arrested when he met with them? Arresting him individually wouldn't cause bloodshed. It wouldn't interfere with their ability to continue the current "let them do whatever as long as they have guns pointed at us" strategy.

It would be a free lunch for the FBI, basically.

I'd say Jon Ritzheimer is a good candidate for "first to shoot" as well. According to the ADL profile on him, he got kicked out of the Oath Keepers for suggesting that they become an out-and-out terrorist organization (as he put it, "We're ready for offense").

Tacit toleration of people like this by one of America's major political parties, is my guess. The FBI probably smells getting their funding eviscerated if they harm one precious little sov-cit hair without iron clad provocation.

Congress has already destroyed all funding for dealing with right wing terrorists despite reports indicating that it is becoming a major problem. At this point, nothing short of the SovCits shooting up an entire city will get the Republicans to stop tolerating them and treat them as an actual threat. Their base is so rabid that they won't dare risk alienating them, no matter how detached from reality they are.

Bundy and the other people with him carrying guns, who refused to be separated from the reporters, which was the reason Bundy refused to negotiate- the FBI negotiator's condition was that the media (the human shields) not come in with him.

Yes, pretty much. Several auxiliary storage buildings/garages, too.

It's Ammon talking about how hurt he is by this footage and then 5 minutes of footage that shows nothing but captions substituting for evidence, like a video talking about martians have killed your family and then two minutes of slow motion footage of your family plays while text appears saying they're all dead.

Popping back in to say "...Huh!?!?" :psyduck:

I have to say I didn't expect this to be the option the FBI would take. Doesn't this legitimize the militants more than simply Waco'ing them would?

:jihad:: "We're commandeering this federal building in the name of true patriots. The federal government is illegitimate and must be overthrown. We want to be recognized as the biggest terrorists there is!"

:cop:: "We don't negotiate with terrorists."

:jihad:: "Did we mention we're white right-wing Americans exercising the second amendment?"

:cop:: "Oh. Uh, that changes things! Why don't we have a seat and work this out then?"

If nothing else, it certainly undermines the liberal argument "what's the point of the second amendment, the government will crush you with tanks" :smugdog:

Apparently as long as you are white, no it won't. Which was certainly the only group the founders intended the right to bear arms to apply to in any case. The system works!

Didn't that shooting take place outside of the occupation site, and didn't involve anyone who was considered a protester? I don't think "a murder took place near occupy oakland"= "occupy oakland murdered someone"
