I can't wait for this to be over and get some shots from inside of the refuge and see the state these morons left it in.

I mean, look at these peoples cars, they're covered in poo poo. I saw someone praiseing them while occupying for having a focus on "daily Chores", and i doubt one of those chores was cleaning.

A drone can also stay on station for a while. Choppers are a bit more labor-intensive.

That said, hopefully that means they intend to end this sooner than later. But the tone from the FBI guy at the conference would kinda suggest they were going to dig in for a bit...who knows though. Now that the group has been isolated and pared down, they may go for a deprivation/stress strategy.

I would hope that over a few days the more reasonable individuals would decide to leave, but I don't know.

I'm watching the live stream. I'm genuinely curious how these guys have avoided shooting themselves. They seem to be pretty incompetent in just about every facet of life. My hope is that the FBI manages to finish this without a single gunshot fired, which would make their "manly blustering" seem even more foolish.

So, where are these guys? It doesn't look like the building they took over, is it the front gate? Or just some random stretch of road?

It might be on the other side of this hill, but I really have no clue. There are power lines and a service road visible from where they are.

Also they are talking about a seemingly larger group at the bunkhouse and a small group in the fire tower. No wonder the FBI is doing flyovers, the seditionists are in like 4 different clumps.

The guys on stream are basically just sitting around and jawing and not doing a good job of keeping watch at all.

Pretty much everyone that wanted to leave did before the 4am deadline they were given, the people staying are the die hard ones that won't leave and the FBI will probably have to go in for them.

And yeah, I would love it if the FBI rolled up all of their Bearcats and black helicopters as a show of force if it got the remaining people in there to surrender without any more shots fired.

It's funny that they have been expecting this since last night but no one arrived yet, and they still expect it. Meanwhile, there were a bunch of people in town just this week, and others had traveled back and forth from other areas within very short amounts of time.

Very optimistic thinking. Optimism logistics.

I wonder how many people got picked up while trying to get in to the refuge to reinforce. Considering at least one dude managed to walk in I imagine quite a few have tried to get in and failed.

Edit: Apparently I may be wrong about someone actually hiking in.

Would there actually be any downside to rolling one of the FBI's Bearcats up to the militants and letting them plink away at it for a few minutes? I'm assuming those things can take rifle fire indefinitely, and if they get shot at they have some more legitimate charges on them.

Plus it may show those guys how useless their situation is.

People trying to get in and failing doesn't even make sense though, right? Because the only reason to go there would be to shoot it out with the feds, so why would a roadblock stop you? These guys have also stated that they are expecting people to shoot up the roadblocks anyway right? The fact that this isn't happening means that basically no one is even trying to get there. They're just as abandoned as they were on day 1 when they were crying about how no one showed up.

I am sure idiots might be getting turned back or something because they are idiots who just want to get close, but I am not seeing how any actual back up is part of that.

they're not exactly short on things to charge these guys with, why put lives at risk (even a small risk) to add to them?
