Right?

pretty sure that was actually krisanne hall and not fiore, otherwise this is pretty spot on

e: fiore strikes me as a populist looking for some fame/reelection/money and not an insane idiot, but i said something similar about cliven soooo

There were reportedly children at the reserve at one point. CPS had nothing to do with their leaving

CPS took some kids from multiple people who WERE there, and those people appear to have taken their kids from where CPS put them and moved them somewhere else, where those kids ended up isn't clear.

I’m saying that there’s no way Fiore eats charges. Her antics won’t get her more than a stern talking‐to. The sheriff maybe gets charged, depending on the contents of his phone calls :nsa:.

State assembly is pretty far down the totem pole, but it’s still a serious political office. Sheriff is closer to dog catcher.

Plus the sheriff is technically part of the DOJ so the FBI can really put the screws to him.

he made for a good story - he's stopping the government from taking "his land", which is a narrative that appeals to a lot of people

not so much taking over land that belongs to federal government and calling for no public lands at all

I mean they spoke in support of the Bundys during the standoff. True, taking over the refuge was a bridge too far, but it's not like any of them deserve a pass for supporting Cliven et al during the bunkerville standoff.

Not talking about charges, but public perception and accountability.

There was that one rep from Tennessee or w/e that spoke on the House floor in support of the bundys this time around as well.

There's more meat to the beginning. The Hammonds were sent to prison for arson, but the feds appealed the sentence because it was too short for the mandatory minimum sentence. They were re-convicted and turned themselves in to serve the reset of the sentence in California a couple days after the whole thing started. IIRC the family apparently has no connection to the Bundies and when they did a FREDUMS march to their house, the family lawyer showed up and basically said "You don't speak for my clients, gently caress off."

Lots of people are confusing Michelle Fiore and Krisanne Hall.

Fiore is the Nevada state representative who was on the phone with the Final Four last night, and was promising to come meet them so they could all walk out with her and give her a good photo op being the hero. She apparently actually got to the barricades today but we didn't hear much of anything from her after that.

Krisanne Hall is some crazy christian lady who was on the line with them today and who was really bad at doing anything but inadvertently fanning the flames and almost getting them killed.

As crazy a gun-nut loony as Fiore is, she actually was pretty good at talking them down from the ledge of doing something really dumb. Hall, not so much.

Right?

Bundy's are from Nevada, the Hammonds (firebugs) are in Oregon and are unconnected to the Bundy's, aside from being cast in the same hosed-up mold.
The 100+ militia were just there for a rally supporting the Hammonds. The occupation just started with 1-2 dozen of them (Ammon tried to co-opt the rally to buff his headcount numbers).
The refuge's numbers grow somewhat during the next few weeks. The arrest implodes them to a handful.

I'm not sure Fiore would have done much better with Fry, and KrisAnne was mostly fine when talking to the other 3, it's just that Fry wasn't quite the same brand of crazy as them so the things they were saying weren't really resonating with him

e: to some extent it seems like Fry kind of just wanted SOMETHING in return for surrendering, even if it was just the FBI saying Hallelujah because he asked and maybe getting a pizza

It's probably fairly common for people in those situations to want to just feel like they're getting something, anything, that they're asking for so that they can feel like they're saving face and not just giving in when they come out.

Hence why he was able to walk away alive with a cookie, a promise of a pizza, and a hallelujah from the feds.

During the stream itself, this thread exploded when he mentioned he was a messianic jew and everyone in the stream got real quiet. I don't really know anything about Messianic Judaism so I don't understand the whole subtext of the statement aside from the very face value. Are messianic Jews big on the martyrdom thing?
