Drunk Kentucky guy who terrorized the thiefs stream for like an hour and a half, calling in over and over with weird questions and for spell checking. He was hilarious and we all loved him and the magic he spoke that meant that the person who could see it was him calling and choose whether to put him live or not would be helpless to refuse

He was like the town drunk from Blazing Saddles

The best/ironic part of John Spartan was that in his later calls after the trollbeast host kept parroting she had it on good authority from her SECRET SOURCE that the FBI shot the guy 32 times while he had his hands up saying "I'm unarmed and I surrender" or some bullshit like that he kept pressing her how she knew that was true and she refused to answer. I think her reply was "you'll have to research and find out otherwise" :smug: or something like that.

Shockingly he was the shining beacon of critical thinking in the shitfest even while completely hammered and probably on his 2nd bottle of Jack.

I would love to have that guy to come here and post a thread (even though he's probably 55+ and can't use a touchtone phone) because he sounded like a :tinfoil: type but still had some reasoning skills.

I hope they have another couple of days left in 'em. Here's what I do if I'm the feds.

Morning 1: A tank has appeared several hundred yards away from the fire. It doesn't move all day, impossible to tell if it's even manned.

Morning 2: The tank has closed just enough distance for it to be noticably closer

Morning 3: Even closer still

Morning 4: Two tanks

he's probably the opposite of most people. When he's sober he's completely rambling and mad like the occupiers but when he's drunk he's reasonable and sensible and basically a normal human being. Alcohol treats his schizophrenia and no one knows why.

Any 'giant army' that might come to help will also be full of the same kind of opportunistic cowards. Aside from maybe 5% that are true believer death wishers like Tarp Ghost, obviously.

Like I really adore that these idiots are filming and live streaming it to the internet so we can watch them turn from heroes in their own minds to sheepishly giving up because they're out of snacks. Technology is their own worst enemy.

8 people arrested a couple of nights ago. Police have blockaded roads going in and out of the refuge. Have given the people in there the opportunity to leave peacefully. All but 5 now have. Three more were arrested when they left last night. Remaining 5 say they're staying and want to die for the cause.

quote:

The arrest of Bundy and the killing of LaVoy Finicum during Tuesday's arrest operation set off "chaos" inside the refuge, according to a video that was released by militants early Thursday. Like other videos, it features Fry, who set up the group's website.

"It was absolute chaos," Fry says in the video. "People were just grabbing their things ... and just fleeing, driving in their cars and zooming out. A lot of people left even their guns, lots of guns and stuff behind. I mean, that's how crazy it is."

After saying that women and children were among those who left, Fry goes on to say that despite receiving word that law enforcement agencies are willing to let people go without being charged, questions remain.

"Obviously, a lot of people are scared of being labeled terrorists — or domestic terrorists," Fry says. "So a lot of people chose to stay and just kind of see what happens."

Speaking over a video that shows a campfire in the driveway of the refuge, Fry then says, "Right now, the situation is that, out of five people left here, four of us are allowed to leave, and one of them has to — he's charged with a felony, he has a felony warrant."

I had my doubts about anything meaningful happening to these guys because of the Bundy ranch thing two years ago. I'm pleasantly surprised. They look like idiots and the only person who died so far basically committed suicide. Now someone get down to Nevada and shake our tax dollars out of that racist grampa Bundy already. gently caress that guy too.

"We didn't mean any harm! We just wanted to actively harm birdwatchers, government development, and water management, as well as terrorize and abuse the nearby town! We didn't know you could be white and a terrorist!"

After how much bullshit they've pulled, it's so cathartic to see these fucks get treated fairly under the law. I'd given up hope that karma would ever visit the Bundy ranch.

Well so far they haven't done big charges against the people they arrested, just a Title 18.

The Title 18 law does carry a 6 year prison sentence in addition to being a felony type crime.

Instead, most of the posters there are just laughing at the occupiers, calling them Ewoks, and not giving a poo poo if they get shot in the face or not. Oh and a few sadbrains who are all like "stoppit guys this is serious! this is are freedoms!", which just encourages the others to laugh even harder.
