My bad. I must've read someone refer to "the guy in the hat" - the one who actually took down the cameras - in the Kos thread.

Before anybody starts cheering about how this is how we win peacefully, by arresting and charging them whenever they finally give us a chance - several of the militants who are there now were arrested and charged after the 9-month Sugar Pine Mine standoff, released to await their court date. That's the standoff that's been held up as the example of how we don't "make another Waco" or whatever.

Then some stuff on how the church statement is really just to protect the church from the decades of unfair treatment by the government.

Then about how the church doesn't want to drive its weaker members away :ohdear:

Most are not ready for this fight, honestly admitting. Just like you were not ready to be part of the fight in defense of traditional marriage definitions, more members are unable to defend this fight because of their lack of knowledge or understanding of laws. Putting the church in the forefront of conflict causes members, who just want to improve their lives, to feel anxiety about the church and their place in it. Those with weak testimonies may falter under this strain.

Not everyone in the church has been so blessed with a testimony of the restored gospel as have I. *long bearing of testimony*

It reminds me of around when Chris Kyle was hot poo poo, there were lots of stuff about how most veterans who had scene as much action as he did tended to be uncomfortable about what they did. Very much to the tone of "I did my duty" and the specifics not being something they want to get into. I know the guys I know who saw action in Afghanistan really do not want to talk about it. They'll happily talk about what it was like in camp or how the locals treated them and stuff, but when it comes down to action, its the last things they want to talk about it. One guy told me there was one guy in his unit that was way to proud of killing. Would actually carve notches in the butt of his rifle for kill marks and other stuff that sounded like they had seen too many movies. The guy was arrested and dishonorably discharged because he was caught trying to remove an ear from a not quite dead fighter as a trophy. What the gently caress dude?

Yes, these assholes are going to keep doing this, and I agree that they all need to be arrested. But right now isn't the time to charge in and arrest them all.

Also, Sugar Pine was ultimately a nothing burger and that is the point. No one is going to commit an act of terror because of Pine Ridge.

Again, there is nothing we can do to prevent all future incidents like this, the right wing base is too riled up for that. There are just too many people that have gone off the deep end. What we can do is prevent the marginal cases from crossing that line and acting out.

Take a look at this video. This was played before the sermon at a mega-church with 10,000 members. These are the people that I believe we don't want to be giving any more validation for their paranoid beliefs than we absolutely must.

There are not many people on this board with as legitimate a gripe with right wing extremists as I have. You think you are outraged by what is happening here? Walk a mile in my shoes. It is extremely difficult for me to be among those urging patience in this situation.

Urging patience so that we avoid sticking our collective dicks in a wasp nest is not "catering". I have layed out several times that i think a shootout is incredibly likely in this situation and that my goal is to see as little knock on after affects from this as possible. I have explained repeatedly that I want to see them all arrested as soon as they leave the refuge. All I am saying is that if you go John Rambo on this one it's going to spook a whole bunch of people into believing their own personal version of tribulations is at hand, and those people are going to treat parts of our country like it's their own personal Fallout 4 server.

Whereas if the FBI keeps letting the clown show play out it will mean fewer marginal cases go full psycho when the showdown finally comes.

Okay so we are literally allowing people to get away with terrorism because... we are afraid of what they might do to us? Like okay a lot of people have gone on record in this thread even being like 'well these aren't terrorists because they're not killing anyone', but they are literally using a terror that they might get a bunch of women and children - who are related to them - killed, inorder to try and make us give in to their demands.

Just arrest any militia member who leaves the camp until they board themselves up and refuse to leave, don't let mail go to them, and let them break when they've run out of food for themselves. Medieval siege this poo poo.


Seriously, people are freaking out like any action is going to make millions rise up in arms and kill everyone, and if that's a serious threat then those people should be under watch.

Does nobody have a sense of scale? Is exaggerated strawmen the only thing we can use any more?

Nobody's said anything about "millions". But as Oklahoma City proved, it only takes a single determined crazy to cause pretty massive death and destruction. Even totally discounting the possibility of any terrorist attacks coming from this, starving them out or starting a gunfight likely puts children and unarmed individuals at risk of injury or death. Every kid or unarmed wife who freezes or gets shot becomes a face for right-wing media to use against the federal government after Malheur ends.

A siege and arrest probably would have worked within the first few days. Now there are kids and unarmed individuals at the site who are put at risk and they've got plenty of supplies to last them. The situation is no longer one that can be resolved through just hurting people until they give in or die. I mean, it could. But it would be a PR nightmare at best.

Not millions, but hundreds or possibly a few thousand. And while they will be crushed, they would do a ton of damage and hurt a bunch of people on their way out.

This is a religious uprising. And this religion happens to have a serious fetish for guns in addition to a half century worth of prophecy about a doomsday that they think they are currently living through. It would be ill advised to provide any validation to that narrative.

I literally have a gigantic thread where I spent much of last year explaining how these groups function and accurately predicting that scenarios like this would start to play out. Maybe I just got lucky and my analysis of this situation is severely flawed. That is possible. But at present I do not personally think I am far off and think it can be argued that I possess a fairly good idea of the situation with right wing extremists in the country.

I mean hell, I predicted back in September that Trump would dominate the GOP primaries at a time when Nate Silver (and every other expert) was still insisting that Trump's chances were remote at best. I feel I've got my finger on the pulse of the right wing much better than most


To clarify a quick point, I don't believe any truly society disrupting wave of violence is possible here no matter what the FBI does or how badly this may get bungled. But I do believe that we can reduce the amount of violence from the right wing in the coming months by waiting as long as possible.

Considering that in an hour the militants are meeting in another County where the local Sheriff is supporting them the militants may start expanding soon and that quite likely will force the Federal government to stop being passive very soon anyways. So this debate might stop being a purely academic exercise in fairly short order.

Yeah, that jackass has been making comments here and there throughout. He's not just a member of the local SovCit group (that committee thing), they honored him, last year I believe, for being such a great SovCit dude. So now he's meeting with terrorists, that's great.

Are you just intentionally ignoring the nuance of what people say?

It's not about "kid gloves" or letting people run free committing crimes. It's about acknowledging that Malheur has likely turned from something that would be easy to contain and shut down within a week to a potential powder keg of violence. Arresting Ammon Bundy as soon as he walks outside could end the standoff as the leaderless militia surrenders or consumes itself from within....or it could be the opening for a more volatile member like Jon Ritzenheimer to seize power and turn the standoff into a base for staging terrorist attacks. Besieging the refuge with blockades and cutting the power could force a surrender....or it could result in children and unarmed wives and hanger-ons freezing to death when the more crazy and armed people in charge refuse to let anyone abandon their plans. And then there's the constant risk of the FBI inspiring new terrorist attacks from straight up attacking the settlement.

Everyone who's advocated for a more nuanced approach (like Prester Jane) has outright said that they need to be punished in some manner, and really want to see it. But you also have to acknowledge that letting the thing grow to this point has also created a dangerous situation, and saying "Just start a siege, shoot anyone with a gun, and viciously stamp out resistance" shows a total lack of understanding of what's going on and the possible repercussions of acting too hastily.
