I would think the worst part about being killed by a dude with anime girls all over his death machine would be knowing that the person who killed you is definitely a virgin.

Can Finicum really be called a rancher? That's a job title, and it implies that your money comes from ranching cows of whatever the proper verb for that is. Finicum made his money from caring for foster kids. I just feel that his proper title is Stay-At-Home-Dad and he just happened to have a hobby of raising cattle.

As someone who served in the peacetime airforce in a REMF/POG as heck job, my advice to anyone trying to steal themselves some valor is to keep it simple. Instead of saying you were a recon sniper SEAL Green Beret, say you were like a hull technician in the navy (your apartment handy man, but in a boat), or a "corrosion control specialist" (airplane painter)/"loadmaster"(cargo airplane box-putter-onner) in the Air Force.

No one will care enough to question it, and you can scam your veteran discount from Stuckey's or whatever without some guy way too proud of mustering out as a terminal lance with a million motto tatoos waving a camera in your face to shame you on Youtube.

The little respect they do end up having for servicemen shines through when they'd rather not steal valor if it meant they were anything but special forces/Marine Snipers. I think the average ding-dong doesn't realize that the majority of military personnel are support and relatively few in comparison are actually infantry/foot soldiers.

They fetishize the military but most of the time can't see it as a function of the government they despise so much. This happens with slightly more normal people too "Support are troops, but I hate the mailman, gently caress him".

I don't really believe Fry. If he was supposed to go do something with Lavoy he would have probably been right there under foot the whole time until it was time to go. It seems like he's both trying to shoehorn on the Lavoy mythos while also alluding to how he was going to leave the camp afterwards but couldn't after the whole incident.

Highlights from the Shawna Cox affadavit:

quote:

On Friday January 1st, 2016, 5:30 am, I traveled to Burns, Oregon, to participate in a
protest rally for the Dwight Hammond family. Dwight and Steven Hammond are
ranchers sent back to federal prison for a second time (double jeopardy) for fires they
10 started to improve grazing on their range and to protect their homes from a wildfire. I
picked up my cousin, along the way. We had sleeping bags, blankets and warm
clothing, because we were planning to sleep in my van. (We were raised to be very
frugal and didn�t want to waste money on a motel room. We were taught not to be
whimps).

As we found ourselves in a small caravan of vehicles headed toward the Refuge, we
noticed an American bald eagle perched on a telephone pole above us as we passed.

As we were leaving with videos and photos, I received a text on my phone from a
friend in Salt Lake City. The Mormon Church has just put out a statement about the
takeover of the Refuge. My contact had verified it and is truly shaken up.

After a few hours we discovered that some of our guys were in town checking with
the police and locating the feds. We found Ryan Payne in town with a number of
others. He had approached the police and had a conversation with them in the parking
195 lot of McDonalds. It turned out it was a psych-op to test us to see how C4CF would
react in a threatening situation. Now they knew that C4CF wasn't leaving and were
not going to be scared off.

Rod Johnson came back with more local people to be taught the Constitution and
share their feelings. The schools in Burns had been closed due to Judge Grasty's,
Sheriff Ward's and the fed's fear mongering about how dangerous it was for them to
go to school, 30 miles away from where we were at the Resource Center. Presumably
205 for the children's' own protection, a chain link fence had been placed around the
school building.
Rod had told his wife to bring their children on a field trip out to the Resource Center
to meet us and judge for themselves why they should or shouldn't go to school. They
210 were very precocious children and we loved meeting them. They were at the
Resource Center entrance at the highway, up top, during the press conference but we
Page 6 of 24
didn't know who they were at first and would have loved to have had them speak to
the press.

One of them was named Jimi. I asked him why they had come and he told me that the
245 Spirit had told him he needed to come and help us. The Spirit bore witness to me
right then that he was suppose to be here and was a very important piece of this
puzzle.

I was discouraged and felt like all these people at the Resource Center, who were
risking their lives, their securities, their families, their homes, their jobs to help these
citizens of Harney County, were unappreciated. It made me feel like crying and I
became angry inside. Why are we here? These people don't deserve this help but then
325 again there were those who really wanted us to stay. How could C4CF desert them?

Later that evening some state legislators & representatives from four states met with
us and voiced their concerns and listened to our story! Our meeting was interrupted by
a retired Army general all dressed in 18th century clothing. He presented Ammon with
his personal Bronze Star and a signed copy of the Declaration of Independence, as this
gentleman was a great grandson of one of the original signers. Ammon was very
425 humbled and didn't want to accept it, but he did.

I set up an appointment for Ammon to speak on the �Common Sense Show�, a very
475 large radio station in Phoenix, Arizona, with Dave Hodges. The appointment was set
up for 7:30 pm and I was standing by to hand Ammon the phone as he was talking to
people at the Head Quarters. I counted down the minutes with my fingers � 4�3�2�1
and no call came in. I waited 10 minutes and was very puzzled because they had been
holding on the phone. I hung up and received a text from a listener in the Phoenix
480 area, who told me the station had totally gone down and all they could hear was static.
I called the station back and the secretary was frantic! �For some reason they (FBI we
assume) overloaded the satellite system and not only crashed their station, but crashed
their internet and their FaceBook communications as well. Dave was outraged!!
They must be afraid of Ammon speaking out!! Dave said he would not advertise so
485 far ahead next time, but he was going to get Ammon on for sure!

At 10:02 we received a call informing us that we should listen to Ron Paul. The call
suggested the Hammond Property was worth $2 Trillion.

At 5:39 pm I text my son: "This is the 2nd American Revolution, We are restoring the
660 Constitution!"

A young woman behind us stood up and read her three pages of notes she had
715 prepared previously. She was only allowed one minute to speak, but because she was
doing a very good job, the two girls on either side of her spoke out and said that they
would give her their minutes so she could finish. At the end of her report she said,
"And I have never met or seen a Bundy." After she sat down, Ryan Bundy who was
sitting in front of her stood up, turned around, tipped his hat, offered her his hand and
said, "Hi, I'm Ryan Bundy, nice to meet you." The three girls stammered, blushed and
smiled.

[this is Ryan bundy:]

On Friday Jan. 22nd
, 7:00 am breakfast, prayer, meet & greet and then our 8 am HQ
825 meeting with prayer and updates. Ryan Bundy shows us all the 40+ airline tickets of
Ammon's that he used traveling back and forth between Idaho and Arizona in the last
few months. Each and every time each ticket had to be punched when they did a strip
search on him. That is 6 times each card.

At 2:00 pm we had our preliminary meeting with ranchers
885 to help them understand how important it was to nullify their contracts with the BLM
etc. When it was time for the signing and the unveiling of our new Harney County
Resource Center big sign we challenged the ranchers to come out and sign. They
never did. I believe it was because they were so deathly afraid of the consequences
from the federal government�s heavy hand.

This is the most bonkers legal document i've read in a while.

Besides the bizarre attempts to make it look like a legal document, Shawna's interpretation of events is very telling. Her frustration that people aren't treating her or the people at the refuge as heroes is a constant:

quote:

I was discouraged and felt like all these people at the Resource Center, who were
risking their lives, their securities, their families, their homes, their jobs to help these
citizens of Harney County, were unappreciated. It made me feel like crying and I
became angry inside. Why are we here? These people don't deserve this help but then
325 again there were those who really wanted us to stay. How could C4CF desert them?

...

I wished that they only knew how much each individual at the Resource Center was
455 sacrificing for them. These patriotic Americans at the Resource Center are putting
everything (family, jobs, fortunes, their lives and their sacred honor) on the line to
help them!! My heart breaks because I want them to understand how much we love
them and how much God loves them! We are doing no wrong! We are being civilly
disobedient to make the changes that will not and cannot be otherwise accomplished
460 due to the corruption of the federal courts and justice system. We have all tried for
many many years. You cannot compromise with the Devil. We just keep losing
ground.

That second part is when she goes to a church in Burns, which I find particularly interesting because she's at a church saying her heart breaks because they don't know "how much God loves them." This is not an uncommon thing for Christians to say about non-believers, but is very unusual to say about other Christians.

Their paranoia was also high, every time they panic over rumors it is always chalked up to psych-ops. When anything fails it is because the FBI sabotaged it. How do they know it was the feds? Because they ask local police at McDonald's and they spill everything. The feds are very worried that Ammon's message might get out, so worried that they shutdown entire radio stations to keep Ammon from speaking, but apparently not that worried, because the next day everything works and Ammon goes on air:

quote:

It was that evening, just after dark, when we got word that C4CF was going to be
attacked. It was from a supposedly very reliable source. Suddenly people went into a
Page 5 of 24
panic. I had no idea what we should do, as we had not even discussed such a scenario.
170 I asked Ammon what he wanted me to do. He told me to get the women out now!

...

After a few hours we discovered that some of our guys were in town checking with
the police and locating the feds. We found Ryan Payne in town with a number of
others. He had approached the police and had a conversation with them in the parking
195 lot of McDonalds. It turned out it was a psych-op to test us to see how C4CF would
react in a threatening situation. Now they knew that C4CF wasn't leaving and were

...

�For some reason they (FBI we

their internet and their FaceBook communications as well. Dave was outraged!!
They must be afraid of Ammon speaking out!! Dave said he would not advertise so
485 far ahead next time, but he was going to get Ammon on for sure!

...

The local residents were making some statements you could tell were rehearsed. One
teenage girl really cried out how afraid she was to go to school and how her friend had
asked her when were they ever going to be able to go back to school again.

Shawna is suspicious when people speak badly about them in town hall meetings because it sounds rehearsed. Then she goes on to praise a group of teenage girls who read a 3-page document they wrote in Bundy's favor.

quote:

After she sat down, Ryan Bundy who was
sitting in front of her stood up, turned around, tipped his hat, offered her his hand and
Page 18 of 24
720 said, "Hi, I'm Ryan Bundy, nice to meet you." The three girls stammered, blushed and
smiled.

You don't get to call yourself a "rancher" if your animals are in that kind of horrifying shape.

Seriously that's one of the things that pisses me off the most about this, Bundy doesn't even take care of his goddamn animals in any manner whatsoever. You could probably give a cow to a literal 10-year-old with no farm experience, and the kid would still take better care of said animal than Bundy did.
