Oh man, reading the stuff I missed while I was working was intense. Like reading the Red Wedding for the first time level intense. Glad Fry had enough sanity to stand down and not end it either with a single shot or go out firing wildly.

The worst thing is every right wing keyboard warrior is going to attack themselves to this to try to prove their points about government over reach and obama = hitler and all kinds of dumb poo poo that is the reason we have people who are so divorced from reality that they are the willing to die for the idea that they can do whatever they want because of the Constitution. Lucky none of them did.

Recordings and transcripts of the streams should be heard and seen by everyone, because it really shows what a bunch of selfish children they are. Their argument boiled down to "I want to be able to do anything I want and if you tell me no, you're infringing on my rights!".

Afghanistan: A place that has known only war, a place you invaded, where some people consider themselves already dead for the fight.

Assad is so monstrous, large chunks of his own army turned on him, fighting in an area that has seen decades of fighting sharpening their skills against the US Army and the Israelis full of surplus arms of all calibre fighting an army that has resorted to dropping barrel bombs and chlorine gas that is only fighting at this point because if they don't, they die.

Libya fell when the army straight up didn't fight for Gaddafi after all the BS he put everyone through, plus western air strikes destroyed any remaining resolve.

Ukraine: Putin happened. They also had a near bloodless revolution before with people protesting armed with nothing more than rocks driving out the pro-Russian sock puppet. Guns would have gotten everybody killed.

If your President Obama declared himself dictator, he wouldn't fall because you are packing an Tacticlool AR-15 with combat LARP, it would be from nobody listening to him and then promptly arresting him for treason. The US isn't remotely in danger of becoming a dictatorship no matter how many times you watch Escape from New York. Canada is more likely to invade and the population would welcome them for bring healthcare. You have a lot of things that are hosed up. Dictatorships isn't one of them.
Afghanistan a place where they build small arms in caves. Because small arms are useless in overthrowing a modern army?

You forgot that half of Syria's border has dissolved in chaos because people with small arms made it too expensive for the modern US army to remain.

Libya was a bad example, I admit. But I could find a half dozen replacements.


Putin: an unpredictable, wild caricature and yet, also the modern political reality. Tell me, why do you think I, or people like me, will not need AR-15s? Can you see that far into the future? What does your crystal ball reveal that gives you this certainty? I bet the Tatars of Crimea wish they had AR-15s.

More than half of US casualties was caused by IEDs. There's a reason they favored remotely detonated bombs over assaults with small arms.

The last four members of the armed standoff in Oregon have reportedly said they left booby traps at the wildlife refuge before surrendering, but refuse to detail the locations or say if there were trip wires or other devices that could trigger them.
“They spoke to us about booby traps. We don’t know how sophisticated or what kind,” an unnamed law enforcement official told Reuters.

Oh, I know, I just find it interesting (and sad) that Fry clearly had the depressed insight to tell that the Christian bullshit was Christian bullshit, and the insight to tell that Reddit was a noxious pool of faeces as well, and the insight of saying that what the SovCits were doing was being ISIS-wannabes, with the clear accent on wannabes - but all that it ended up doing was giving him absolutely no ingroup. We've seen the amazing rationalising and self-delusion when Sean and Sandy (and Gavin/KrisAnn) convinced themselves that the surrender was not a surrender, but a victory. Fry couldn't even self-delude himself into thinking that Reddit were his people, even though he's otherwise a perfect fit.

Mark is totally going to be the handsome male lead of the Hollywood version. They will absolutely give him a hot blond wife and a six-year-old daughter (he'll kiss before leaving for Oregon), even if he's single in real life.

e: if he's gay, it's about 50-50 if they give him a hot blond wife or a hot blond husband. The daughter stays.

So people keep talking about all the militia members/whatever they arrested going away for ever, but it seems like so far they've only been charged with "conspiracy to impede officers of the United States", which doesn't seem to carry a crazily steep penalty considering:

quote:

If two or more persons in any State, Territory, Possession, or District conspire to prevent, by force, intimidation, or threat, any person from accepting or holding any office, trust, or place of confidence under the United States, or from discharging any duties thereof, or to induce by like means any officer of the United States to leave the place, where his duties as an officer are required to be performed, or to injure him in his person or property on account of his lawful discharge of the duties of his office, or while engaged in the lawful discharge thereof, or to injure his property so as to molest, interrupt, hinder, or impede him in the discharge of his official duties, each of such persons shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six years, or both.

So are they going to be dropping more charges on them? Can they, at this point? I don't know jack poo poo about law but if a bunch of them just get off with a fine that seems hosed.

Everyone who gets "conspiracy to impede" will have their entire lives pored over by the FBI and whatever state/county/municipality they live in, and they will drop the hammer on everything that's found out. Illegal guns, tax evasion, driving without plates/registration/insurance; anything and everything these idiots have done in the last thirty years that's in any way illegal will be brought against them on every applicable level.

Note: good lawyers are not cheap, and I expect they will not get a spirited representation by a public defender.

No they will and this is a hosed up disrespectful thing to say. PD's defend far shittier people and if they shirk their professional responsibilities it is more likely than not because of the strain on the PD system not because of politics.

Anyway most likely this is going to work like any other case involving a large number of defendants, they're gonna get lower level actors to flip on the leadership in exchange for more leniency and they're probably going to give a fair amount of charges against the Bundy's and others to encourage them to take a plea bargain.

They can add multiple other charges as they discover them. There's obviously criminal damage charges for the state of the place, then whatever they find in their homes and a general conspiracy charge if they tie them into Cliven (some of his charges open him and others up to a RICO case, at which point their whole movement is going to get ripped apart by the FBI).

Serious question: how do you defend these assholes in court?

They've already proven that they don't think Constitutional law applies to them, a bunch of them are probably on the SovCit side of legal theory. What happens to them when they fire their fourth appointed public defender because he/she won't recite their magic legal spells to get them off the hook?

They can choose to defend themselves and get completely hosed but so far the Bundy's themselves have all wanted actual representation and a lot of these people, probably a majority of them, are already felons. So they prolly have a fair idea about the power of the court. Most will not really be defended in court but defended through deals with the prosecutors, though I could see whoever represents David Fry going for a competency evaluation if he's still manic. Just speculating here each of them will have their own strategies and some of these people may indeed go full gold fringe on the court but I suspect the fact that they surrendered means that most understand the gravity of the situation.
