Felony child endangerment can net you up to 20 years in Oregon, so so I hope we're looking at some century-plus sentences once this is all over with.

if Blaine kills the kids or attacks the cops and burns the place down with everyone in it. then everyone involved is hosed.

Better, of course, would be if he wets himself at the first sight of a federal rifle and surrenders. But gently caress that rear end in a top hat.

Sounds like right now Pete would do it to be honest, but they'd never take him back

Am personally happy for them to live in peace separated and moved on from their ill-conceived militia cause. Except now with properly enforced financial ruin from the federal and state level everywhere they go.

Also loss of 2nd amendment rights

I want them to live. I want them to live long lives in prison, forever labeled the cowards and killers and terrorists they are. I want them to know that and for it to eat at them until the day they die. The christian in me hopes that they can somehow make good on that and turn their sins into contrition, but mostly I just want them to have live with what they've done.

LIke, I'm glad Dylan Roof is sitting in a prison cell and I hope that every night he hears the voices of the loved ones of the people he killed saying they forgive him. I hope that eats at him and changes him and I'd like him to escape the death penalty and just have to live with that.

If the remaining militants get kids killed it will be really hard to not wish death on them. Still the right thing to do, still can't just shoot people because they are garbage, but man are these people loving awful.

Aren't some of the kids there foster kids too? So some woman out there got pregnant when she was 19 and in desperate circumstances, gave her kid up in the hope of it having a better life, and some jackoff is using it as a human shield. gently caress the world and gently caress these people.

Also these guys seem unable to understand why they were even arrested in the first place. Its unreal.

They all, to a T, believe that their hosed up interpretation of the Constitution, Common Law, Uniform Commercial Code and whatever other legal mumbo jumbo they use to justify their actions are correct, and every single time any of them get called on it, they are dumbfounded that their current Legal Word Salad Magic Spell didn't work, and it just makes them double down harder next time.

We went hardcore into SovCit stuff when I was in the academy and in some of the terrorism seminars I went to before I left the glorious life of law enforcement 10 years ago. A lot of it got put to the wayside for islamic terrorism after 9/11, but we got a pretty good education on how to recognize them and common tactics.

On the bright side, at the very least the kids in foster care will be taken away and given new homes after this. Assuming Blaine "Jesse Ventura" Cooper doesn't get all of them killed.

Several of these people are white supremacists and have length criminal records up to and including murder. They also tried to kill federal agents when they were getting arrested. I mean yeah they aren't LITERALLY ISIS but it's funny to call them that.

I am really not a fan of felony murder, but it would seem like this is the type of situation where it ought to apply, if it applies to anything. I mean an armed occupation of land followed by a shoot out with police? Come on.

Also RIP their future public defenders.


Edit: I'm referring to the Oregon statute indicating this situation doesn't apply.

has been deployed...

...but experts warn it is
just a drop in the ocean.
Can anyone confirm if I've got this right? The leaders of the movement, as far as I understand it, were mainly 12 individuals:

Ammon Bundy, Ryan Bundy, Brian Cavalier, LaVoi Finicum (RIP Tarpman), Blaine Cooper, David Fry, "Captain Moroni" Ryan Payne, Joe O'Shaugnessy, Jon Ritzheimer, Maureen Peltier, Pete Santilli, and Joe Stetson. Stetson was already arrested a few days ago. Tonight, the feds nabbed both Bundys, Cavalier, Finicum, Payne, O'Shaugnessy, Ritzheimer, Santilli, and Stetson. That means that in less than an hour federal agents apprehended something like 60% of the remaining leadership?

And, has anyone heard anything from Peltier, Fry, or Moroni? Could they, as well, have been taken into custody?

This. Their entire worldview is coming apart and they can't rationalize it fast enough. The heart of SovCit beliefs are that their magic words render the Federal Government powerless over them...and oh look, they're getting arrested.

I hope you're right and he's open to diplomacy, but nothing in his history, demeanor, or reaction to the shooting/arrest that assure me of this. Maybe he's keeping the kids as negotiation fodder? That's a good idea, problem is:

1) that's foresight they haven't shown so far
2) already said he's willing to die for whatever this is
3) what would they demand that they aren't being offered or haven't already been refused when they had more leverage?
