So after a few dozen fat crazy rednecks spent weeks living in that wildlife office on a diet mostly consisting of grilled cheese they're pretty much going to have to fumigate with napalm to get rid of the stink right?

Also replace like all of the office furniture, carpet and bathroom fittings.

Yep. All that's going to be considered a damage and, because cleaning and reupholstering and such are going to be in excess of $1000, it's likely going to result in at least one charge of "Destruction of Federal Property", maximum charge of ten years.

For example, we know they broke or smashed open the Paiute tribe exhibits because they videotaped that poo poo like they were loving ISIS or something.

What in God's name would be their rationale for doing that?

Were they "liberating" the Native American stuff from Federal oppression or what?

Do you remember which of the videos that was? I'd like to see it.

I might have been exaggerating, but they did rifle through the storerooms at the refuge as if they were spoils of war. And, yes, that's exactly what they're claiming. Of course, the Bundys were also claiming that they had a right to handle those artifacts because they're part Native American or some bullshit.

The Guardian posted:

The militiamen stationed at a federal wildlife refuge in eastern Oregon are now rummaging through artifacts and documents of the Paiute tribe, sparking outrage among local Native Americans whose ancestors originally occupied the land.

LaVoy Finicum, one of the leaders of the armed protesters occupying the Malheur national wildlife refuge, posted a video of himself inside a government building looking through cardboard boxes of papers and other items associated with the local tribe � and inviting Paiute leaders to meet with the militia and reclaim their belongings.

�We want to make sure these things are returned to their rightful owner,� said Finicum, who recently helped destroy a US Fish and Wildlife Service fence and remove cameras that he claimed the government was using for surveillance.

...

�I feel disrespected that they�re even out there,� said Jarvis Kennedy, the tribal council�s sergeant-at-arms. Kennedy said he was too upset to watch all of Finicum�s video. �It�s like me going through their drawers at their house.�

Tribe leaders and federal officials say the refuge stores confidential documents and thousands of historic artifacts, such as baskets, spears, tools and beads. The refuge is also home to Paiute burial grounds, making the militia�s recent decision to pave a road through the refuge particularly alarming.

�I could go to the Bundys where his grandparents are buried,� Kennedy said. �How would they feel if I drove over their grave and went through their heirlooms?�

In his video, Finicum said that he was showing how the wildlife refuge has done a poor job maintaining the artifacts and keeping storage rooms clean. �This needs to be taken care of, and so we�re reaching out to the Paiute people in the sincerest manner as we can,� he said on camera. �Let�s make sure that we take care of the heritage of the Native American people.�

Added militia member Blaine Cooper: �The rightful owners need to come back and claim their belongings.�

...

Kennedy noted that the militiamen have had no trouble leaving and returning to the refuge and feared one of them might damage or steal their artifacts and documents. �All the stuff they are doing out there, it�s like a crime scene,� he said. �Once this is done, we�ll see what�s missing.�

yeah basically as someone who's been starting into this warp portal since the beginning all I can say is they act in basically the opposite of how any sane person would.

I've never heard of anything bad happening from desecrating an ancient Indian burial ground, I'm sure that things will work out just fine for these guys. Juuuuuust fine and dandy.

That's pretty loving specific as far as ancient Indian curses go but you can't argue with results so :shrug:

Since these idiots were all "we've started the revolution, rally to us!" and all the other keyboard commandos were like "uhh, I have pizza rolls in the oven and my rascal battery is low," does this lead to a bunch of internal finger pointing, recriminations, and otherwise falling apart, killing what little "momentum" these idiots have?

Who am I kidding. Its still Onama's fault.
