What kills me is, even if you accept that David somehow had an extra, secret radio that no one knew about, you have to ignore the following observable facts:

- David said he would come out if the FBI shouted 'hallelujah', and then they did, and he left. If they wanted him to die in a blaze of gunfire, they would not have shouted 'hallelujah'.
- We have audio-recording of David's last few hours inside the refuge. When, exactly, was this secret radio message supposed to have been played?
- If David was so boosted by a secret message by Ammon, why would he be yelling things about how he 'didn't care about the cause'?

The thing that I don't understand is that they say that, but the explanation for why Ammon Bundy and the other leaders didn't get black op'd out of existence, and they actually provided footage of them taking down Tarpman is a non-committal shrug as they explain that government is loving stupid?

I mean I understand that they're being gross hypocrites and showing a lack of critical thinking, I'm just having a hard time understanding how the human brain can bend and twist itself around like that without cutting off blood to some part of it.

Not according to that article:


It's unclear who will represent Bundy. He asked for a court-appointed attorney at an initial hearing last week, but U.S. Magistrate Judge Janice Stewart said she wanted to see financial documents first.

"The court only appoints counsel for those who can't afford an attorney," Stewart said.

They'd just refuse to appoint a public defender, so he would have to hire his own or represent himself. Of course if he just flat refused to do either of those things he would wind up in contempt at some point, but that seems like a pretty stupid hill to die on, even for him.

edit: Or what the previous poster said? I don't know. I don't think the entire case is going to be derailed over this minor issue, is the main thing.

These guys do seem think that the world functions on Hollywood rules where the faceless cops or government goons are easily mowed down by the important characters and just cannot fathom that they aren't the big heroes who are supposed to win. If the enemy didn't then it's because they pulled some dirty trick that they just need a brainstorming scene or reinforcements to defeat.

It's fascinating to see just how childish their worldview really is.

It's part of the whole police state narratives. Think of the stereotypes we associate with various law enforcement agencies - a good old AMERICAN sheriff knocks on the door in broad daylight and casually informs you that he's received a complaint, whereas fascist stormtroopers kick in the door in the middle of the night or kill you in a shadowy assassination plot. The whole "fair fight" thing isn't just a defense of their masculinity and action hero fantasies, it also reinforces their narrative of a brutal police state using force to bring people in for unfair or manufactured charges.

I guess it depends on circumstances. While in their heads the movie rules are the law, when certain other things happen they'll go stupid of movie rules to explain it.

The most recent I've seen is "Finicum was right handed, why would he reach for a gun holstered on his left side??!!" Checkmate sheeple. It's like the ever popular movie crossdraw was never a thing. I'm surprised they don't claim they were all victims because no one used a fully automatic pistol/rifle like all the movies portray everyone has access to

Yea, I saw this on netflix. It's funny, but also that these guys do go out of their way to cause incidents to prove their point about jackbooted thugs and government overreach, ignoring that they caused the situation in the first place.

The police will use every method to avoid anyone coming to harm, on either side. I've been told by a friend who is a cop that one of the reasons for knocking down doors is actually to get people to go out another exit where they can be taken down safely. Obviously they have to be ready in case the person inside is a stand your ground type, but the shock and awe works in either stunning people or forcing them to run.

Then again, we do have SWAT team no-knock raids actually providing a justification for "fascist stormtroopers."

That article posted earlier by the anarchist who tried to join the occupiers (and left in disgust) uses things like that as one of its good points: there really are huge problems with the United States in every sense, from human rights violations and endemic corruption in policing to corporate influence on governing and lack of health care. People should be protesting and fighting long and hard to fix the problems with the country. But the Malheur occupiers, by and large, either didn't get a poo poo about the legitimate problems with the country (because they're obsessed with their own bizarre conspiracy theories and non-existent grievances) or absurdly misunderstand the causes of the problems and how they can be fixed. So they protest a government that's legitimately kinda lovely, but instead of doing anything of importance they just scream about bizarre cherry-picked interpretations of the Constitution and threaten to shoot anyone who opposes them.

I'm actually a little curious about Bundy's financial situation. Surely all his money is tied up in cattle that the government is rightfully supposed to be auctioning off at this very moment? Are any of the proceeds from that cattle business legitimate at this point? How come they haven't just frozen all his accounts for illegal activity (or his corporation's, or whatever owns the cattle) and left him bankrupt? We got any cow lawyers here?

Generally the financial statement is submitted under the penalty of perjury, so they can go after him for that. This basically never happens, but the bundys aren't popular.
And yes, they can bill after the fact as well.

Bundy is lawless and violent. He does not recognize federal courts – claiming they are illegitimate – does not recognize federal law, refuses to obey federal court orders, has already used force and violence against federal law enforcement officers while they were enforcing federal court orders, nearly causing catastrophic loss of life or injury to others. He has pledged to do so again in the future to keep federal law enforcement officers from enforcing the law against him. As of the date of this hearing, he continues to violate federal court orders and continues to possess the proceeds of his illegal activities.

This deserves to be quoted in full.

quote:

While Bundy claims he is a cattle rancher, his ranching operation – to the extent it can be called that – is unconventional if not bizarre. Rather than manage and control his cattle, he lets them run wild on the public lands with little, if any, human interaction until such time when he traps them and hauls them off to be sold or slaughtered for his own consumption. He does not vaccinate or treat his cattle for disease; does not employ cowboys to control and herd them; does not manage or control breeding; has no knowledge of where all the cattle are located at any given time; rarely brands them before he captures them; and has to bait them into traps in order to gather them.

Nor does he bring his cattle off the public lands in the off-season to feed them when the already sparse food supply in the desert is even scarcer. Raised in the wild, Bundy’s cattle are left to fend for themselves year-round, fighting off predators and scrounging for the meager amounts of food and water available in the difficult and arid terrain that comprises the public lands in that area of the country. Bereft of human interaction, his cattle that manage to survive are wild, mean and ornery. At the time of the events giving rise to the charges, Bundy’s cattle numbered over 1,000 head, straying as far as 50 miles from his ranch and into the Lake Mead National Recreation Area (“LMNRA”), getting stuck in mud, wandering onto golf courses, straying onto the freeway (causing accidents on occasion) – foraging aimlessly and wildly, roaming in small groups over hundreds of thousands of acres of federal lands that exist for the use of the general public for many other types of commercial and recreational uses such as camping, hunting, and hiking.
