Fun extra fact from the Bundy arrest:

quote:

Later, right-wing online talk show host Pete Santilli, who has been embedded with the militia from the beginning of the occupation, was also arrested on the same charges. Santilli, 50, lives in Cincinnati.

Those charges being "conspiracy to impede US officers from “discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation, or threats, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 372.”

Props to him at least, he willingly turned himself in.

The rest of the militia are trying to claim that the people involved in the shootout were unarmed, and that the tarp guy had his hands up and was trying to surrender when he was shot dead by the FBI. It's pathetic that they think anybody would believe that.

Both Bundy's were arrested along with 4 other people and another was killed in a shootout with the police.

What's even better is that they were pulled over on Highway 395 because they were trying to go to a "meeting" some place 100 miles away.

Let's recap...armed terrorists take over a federal building, turn it into a compound and declare they'll defend it with force. You're probably breaking quite a few federal laws there and the only reason they don't go in after you is they don't want another Waco. So what do you do? You loving sit tight in your compound and live off your stockpiles while making crazy statements to the media right? No, apparently you pile into your car and go driving off and somehow don't imagine that this provides the police a perfect time to arrest your dumb loving stupid rear end without turning it into a huge gunbattle against dozens of armed terrorists in a fortified compound.

God loving drat these guys are dumb as loving poo poo

Well, the FBI and local police were also letting them freely wander around town and bring new people and supplies to the refuge. Which means that not only are there more people there now than before, there's also women and children who will get in the way of a potential raid.

I think they just finally saw an opening to pull over the car loaded with the Bundy brothers and some of the chucklefuck gang. I don't think they were totally expecting it to turn into a shootout.

He gave up, too.

Currently we're at 8 militia people under arrest (Ammon Bundy, Ryan Bundy, Ryan Payne, Shawna Cox, Brian Cavalier, Jon O'Shaugnessy, Jon Ritzheimer, and Pete Santilli) and 1 dead (LaVoy Finicum). Considering that at least 30 militia members were positively identified by the Anti-Defamation League, there could be as many as 20+ armed individuals still there, plus unarmed women and children.

Pete Santilli called Blaine Cooper (the really crazy and volatile guy left at the refuge) on his live stream and was horrified at what he said over the phone. From the context, it sounds like Cooper is planning on standing his ground and won't even let the women and children be taken out before a raid. Pete was having a lot of fun cheerleading for these guys until he realized that they were actually crazy and murderous, and now he's making GBS threads himself in a jail cell.

Same here. I smoked for 20 years, transitioned to vaping for a month before giving that up completely. Coming up on two years without either.

It really helps that while smoking is cool, vaping makes you look like a complete dumbass.


edit: There's a near zero chance that militia guy was unarmed. Their entire masculinity is built around guns. For a guy like that it'd be like leaving the trailer without his penis.

lol everyone i see smoking looks like they hate it and i wonder if i looked like that too when i smoked. some combination of burning, horrible flavored smoke combined with being outdoors in the freezing cold might have something to do with it

My guess would be erosion underneath the sidewalk created a sinkhole of sorts that collapsed, causing the retaining wall to fall into the river taking the line of cars with it.

The complete lack of maintenance on a 120 year old retaining wall had nothing to do with it, I'm sure, it was totally caused by the rain.

quote:

“The street caved in back in the ’80s on the other side of the school. We knew this was going to cave in because you could see the cracks getting wider and wider,” a woman said. “Several neighbors have called the city over the past year, they patched it with blacktop. But over the winter, because of the snow, it just kept cracking. I got home at 3:30 and there were already several cars, about eight of them, settling into the ground.”

“Three years I’ve been calling in. The city has come out five or six times and told me not to worry, that everything was OK,” one man said. “Now, of course, the guys who come out in the trucks, they don’t really know. They just come out, look at the situation. They’re not engineers or anything. They’re utility workers.”

Well clearly women are allowed in or else they wouldn't be there? :v: And if the children are going to be taken out of the compound, somebody has to take them and watch over them.

I thought it was a bit odd that an earlier poster said "unarmed women and children" like every single one of the women were unarmed, I'm pretty sure there's gonna be at least one of em who likes to hold guns too.

But especially with this kinda right-wing conservative crowd I can see the men being like "okay you ladies see to the children while we fight the good fight" and send them away.
