Yep, and you've had it explained to you that no one cares that he can be arrested when he's not. Good to know you keep count though, that's nice.

The concern for not getting anyone killed when it in fact led directly to Lavoy, not to mention the malheur and ranch standoff messes isn't a great excuse either. Get him off the scene and soon.

Er that happens at 99% on practically the next to last page? Kind of an abrupt end to his story arc. I guess there's not much point in going much further because most sovcit readers probaby just stop reading immediately and masturbate to the fantasy of shooting federal agents in the face.

The prepaid phones, sim cards, and thumb drives are almost certainly meant to make their communications more difficult to track. Putting that poo poo in public is a bad idea, because buying/shipping any signifigant quantity of those items is enough to get you flagged all by itself.

I also didn't see an answer: how many malheurs and ranch stand offs does one man get until we do anything?

Is it indefinite? Can a guy trade life in prison for a house arrest situation if he can afford NV land and a couple of nutty bodyguards? Does Lavoy count? Or do we only take away the "possible bloodshed" label when they kill a working man?

Reading the various ways that SovCits screw themselves over in the process of executing their oh-so-clever tricks is almost endearing. Sure, they're delusional, completely radicalized loons and very often bigoted offenders who are a danger to themselves and others, but this kind of thing makes them look almost like a puppy that got its head stuck in a shoe: adorably stupid.

Well that's an odd take seeing as the thing that most upsets me is people answering them and rolling their eyes like it was a basic addition problem. Or misrepresenting what I'm saying, there's nothing in your quotes that says roll on Cliven now. It's me asking how long that goes on until you do something, and it was an honest question. Main Painframe is a fuckin pain in the rear end in my opinion and he managed to answer it for himself without making it a big crybaby helldump fight. He said it never does. I disagree but that's alright, I get what he means and why.

I think a lot of people here are discounting the poo poo that Burns and Oregon had to deal with for 3 weeks because of a confirmation bias over the arrests, which were pulled off wonderfully. The problem is that doesn't erase or excuse the 3 weeks. The waiting contributed to the successful arrest. It also contributed to the chaos in Burns, and who knows what else nationally. It also established a template for anyone willing to put up with being jailed to get national attention for at least 3 weeks in exchange for vaguely threatening defensive gun violence.

Its a question of balance. In my opinion there's far too much weight on the "better not cause another waco" end. That's my opinion and it's a bunch of poo poo! Sorry!

Pretty much everyone who knows about the subject, as well as recent history, disagree with you. The FBI is playing the long game, which it is world famous for. The FBI has proven that it knows what it is doing and has a plan. I'm sorry that you cannot abide the idea of the bad men getting punished later instead of right away, and I'm sorry that you think that not ending this asap through aggressive means will cause more damage than playing the long game will, but you are objectively wrong.

That's what I'm saying. Most of the fbi tactics are a big black box of unknown, by design and they aren't going to publicize if and when parts went wrong, or if they intended or expected all the problems outside of the refuge. I don't presume to know better than them (and said as much minutes before the arrests circa page 170 or so), BUUUUUUTTTTTTTTT I also cannot fathom what horrorshow hypothetical situation justifies those three weeks and all the rest we'll be dealing with.

If its fair for someone to deploy confirmation bias over the arrests and how perfectly they say the FBI handled everything, despite not actually knowing, then other people should be able to look into that same inkblot and say "nahhh, that's not a mastermind psyop followed by a rainbow six level on cheat codes arrest. It was a very dangerous stare off followed by an oppurtunity taken" (gross oversimplification of what I mean).

Its not even like I'm spouting some fringe nonsense the governor of the state came out and said it was taking too long.

I don't know about her but when I say "it took too long" I'm not discounting any of the great work the fbi did in getting charges and pulling off the arrests. They did both wonderfully. My problem is that I don't think that's a good trade off for the downside, and if this is standard procedure for dealing with PEACEFUL ONLY DEFENSIVE GUNS NEENER NEENER assholes then it needs to be re examined.

How? Couldnt tell you.

Yes it is.

You're taking the result, good arrests, and retroactively applying it's success to everything that led up to it, declaring the entirety of the unknown aspects of the FBI operation and declaring it perfect, and that it all offsets any downside I can imagine. That's the definition of it. To say nothing of how convenient it is that it all folded into your narrativists theories, which I read and considered dufully, and still will, but don't accept prima facie.

I don't see the arrests as such, I see them as good arrests that all but ended a situation that was getting more dangerous and disruptive by the day.

I don't proclaim to know the inner workings and tactics nitty gritty of the fbi. You do. My opinions based on what I know and saw.

As for what I would have done? I would have moved on Cliven the first time he threatened gun violence on BLM officials and leveraged all possible pain (which doesn't have to include getting people shot to arrest him) to make it clear you can't threaten federal agents with death in America and then not even see charges as you escalate the situation for 20 years. His sons would have seen that the feds aren't the sovcit fantasy they love, their dad didn't discover the magic words, and they think twice before invading malheur.
