I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!
So this is how The Pete Santilli Show ends. Staring at a motel wall listening to local news mumble in the background.

maybe right now in the heat of the moment that's what's on his mind, but there's no reason not to try and talk some sense into him. shits on lockdown now, and he's not going anywhere. since the government is actually locking the place down and making it clear this bullshit won't stand they can afford to be patient now.

This is definitely the hope, but he doesn't seem to be one of the most reasonable members of that militia. But we'll see tomorrow how it plays out.

It's a fascinating movement. The sovcits I've dealt with personally are, while frustrating, very interesting people. And often pitiable. Not really these ones, but the ones I've had a chance to look at usually had something go really wrong in their life and then made some pretty severe rationalizations / bad choices to refuse to admit they were wrong. Doesn't excuse them, but usually leaves me with a feeling of "dude, things could have gone so much easier for you," which sucks.

I'm guessing you're in the US, I'm in the UK and we pretty much have the same problem with these people you do. I've had a couple of friends who were "that way" over the years. It's such a pain, because 99% of their personality is just fine. Then there is this 1% that is "Um, what in the name of god did you just say to me? Can.. can you even add? Or think about step B, after the step A you've just said you want to happen?", that I've never found a way to counter/help with/do anything about.

It's sad.

Operational Security. Don't reveal anything that the enemy can use against you. Don't be Geraldo drawing positions in the sand on camera, for example.

"Operational Security". They don't know how to actually do that however. They just throw words around like 12 year olds who just watched Mission Impossible for the first time and decided to use ID codes when calling their friends.

"OPSEC" is like a military term for how you conceal information and poo poo from the enemy. So it might be them playing soldier and warning each other not to say certain poo poo.

they still haven't raided the compound though. they hit the guys in the car. it would've been a good idea to pull over the car and raid simultaneously if they had the numbers for it with that reasoning, but now they're back on high alert. someones dead.

I agree, though the same principle does apply to them getting complacent with the fact they weren't blockaded allowing them to snatch up anyone who was out wandering.

My only guess is that because of the wives and children at the compound they were hoping they could hit the leadership while they were moving and the rest would surrender.

There better be a goddamn video of how that encounter went down because they're all saying he was gunned down execution style.

EDIT: Not that I want to see another police shooting video, but in this case there needs to be some evidence he wasn't just "surrendering".

pretty likely. hopefully it pans out and the rest surrender. since this is out of nowhere, they probably aren't in position to hold out against a long term siege at this point. they'd kind of gotten used to just replenishing supplies by driving to the store as needed.
