My stance is that the FBI probably knows better than I do...but then again Cliven has been threatening them into submission since the mid 90s and hasn't faced any real consequences.

I retain my right to ridicule their non response to some pretty major crimes, and their lovely response to all govt officials and the citizenry asking what the hell, until I see some results.

The poo poo going down in Burns and Malheur is not harmless, isn't contained, and isn't getting any better. Everyday I'm less convinced of the need for restraint due to the prospect of this getting out of hand when the feds make ANY sort of response. Mostly because I'm watching a non response and its getting out of hand in ways that weren't reality 2 weeks ago, and are unique to a non response.

At the very least there should have been some show of effort to stop them from bringing kids into the building. If the feds assume Ammon is serious (and it appears they do), then that was a major major drop of the ball.

Thought of including this in my last post but didn't think it was relevant- these guys remind me of some of the people who pop up in living history. I do American War reenactment- civilian, not military, but a lot of my friends do military- and there are plenty of guys in the time period who show up to events wearing Civil War trousers, sneakers, a non-period beard, and a big hat with a giant feather or foxtail hanging off it, very Mountain Man (I've actually seen at least one person who was wearing all these things). Or maybe they're dressed OK but they go out on the field and disobey safety requirements, don't listen to the people running the skirmish, get into yelling fights with other reenactors in front of the public. After a while the site makes the event invitation-only. Or sets up clothing and behavior standards that everyone complains about. There's a lot of people out there who want to dress up and play hero, but who are totally unwilling to play by the "rules" even when those rules protect the safety of everyone there and mean that we're not actively misrepresenting the time period to the public.

So, yes, wannabe larpers.

That's like when they were digging around in the garage and mentioned that the newish looking pontoon boat looked cool. Then quickly swapped language to "We're going to take...positive posession of this since it was bought "by the people" and WE'RE THE PEOPLE".

And in the end: New boat! They're like 4 year olds who think that they can just take things "because it's my favorite" or "I play with it all the time!".
It's like me tearing pages out of library book because it's public property, therefore I own it and can do whatever I want with it. (I work in a library and can't wait to use the Lennie Briscoe quote "Even though you are a taxpayer, you know, we don't actually work for you personally" on someone.)

Yeah after the wet farther of nothingness that resulted from Bundypalooza '14 (complete with an ATV victory lap on Native lands), I have zero reason to believe RW guys pointing guns everywhere will feel any ramifications, outside of what they do to themselves.
But I'm sure once they chase families out of town threaten to kill law enforcement officials kidnap kids from CPS start shooting indiscriminately something will happen to change that!

Edit: welp, that's irony for you

Seems like tonight's meeting to expand their operations may have been what triggered the Feds into finally acting. If this is true it will be interesting to see what the people at the refuge do.

I sincerely hope that I have been completely wrong the entire time and that everyone packs up and leaves.

In fact I will be loving ecstatic and will happily eat a big ole slice of humble pie with a crow chaser if this just simply up and ends right here.
