I cannot believe that Cliven was stupid enough to get on a plane. I thought he'd be driving,but nope, stupid.

You could consider this a brilliant FBI honeypot or a criminal who is too dumb to avoid getting caught under normal travel circumstances.

Eh. Maybe he was trying to indirectly surrender in a safe way that wouldn't get him shot but also wouldn't mark him as a traitor to his own movement or something.

Given the poo poo he was allowed to get away with before, maybe it wasn't completely insane for him to think the government would continue to allow him to flout the law.

Or it could be he's just a batshit crazy religious fanatic who thought he was on a God ordained mission and so everything would work out.

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
If Cliven Bundy had the support he believes he has, he would've had the money and structure to book six private flights from Bundy Shithole, NV, to various locations around eastern Oregon and forced LEOs to decide which route he'd take to get there and rally his meth-addled troops.

Instead, this rear end in a top hat flew commercial to Portland, which is like a 4-5 hour drive from the lunatics anyway, and they arrested his dumb rear end as soon as he got off the plane because they knew he wouldn't have any weapons on him.

This is the mastermind of the New American Revolution, everyone. This is the guy they've pledged to lay down their lives for. A man too stupid to realize that flying on a commercial airline in 2016 opens him up to every single law enforcement agency in the hemisphere.

I agree, I honestly think Cliven was just too loving arrogant to consider that he would be arrested. He was rushing to Oregon because he's been chomping at the bit since his sons were arrested to take over their cause, stating as much to reporters because he's also an idiot. I mean, he's been directly contradicting his son's requests to the four remaining militants because he's just that hungry for more people to die for his stupid, stupid cause. I'm sure he planned to do exactly what he was saying he was going to do; ride into the refuge as a heroic general before whom the FBI would cower and disperse, because he's been getting away with this poo poo for decades.

I may have missed it in all the excitement, but I didn't see this mentioned anywhere. According to the Oregonian's article about all this, the FBI actually moved into some of the buildings at the refuge Tuesday night and were there all day Wednesday, and these numbnuts never realized.

That livestream of the watchmen news is adorable. They claim the events of today ate biblical because Hammond and his son started it, and Cliven and his sons are now in custody, and Franklin Graham is Billy Graham's son and that's just like the 40 days and 40 nights where Noah was hit with a tsunami on the last day? I guess if you don't know anything about the Bible then this is exactly like your grandma's prescription drug fueled recollections of it.

FBI tactical teams had quietly moved into the refuge compound Tuesday night, entering the buildings undetected by the occupiers. They apparently were in the buildings through the day Wednesday before agents moved against the encampment.

Update: they've taken over big pink and put some kind of tesla coil on top. I just watched six cyclist get fried for the crime of trying to cross the steel bridge while being female. Northwest is lost to the patriots. They've set up a constitutional tribunal at 21st and glisan. Naito parkway is more like revolutionary river of blood. It's bad here.
