A guy I used to work with had a previous job in some subset of social services, and he said they did just this when they took mentally ill patients on field trips and the like.

Can some Oregoon please ask this dork if he was in the military and record the answer. I am willing to bet real american dollars the answer is some variant of 'quit boot camp 6 weeks before finishing but the Commandant himself said I can call myself a Marine' or 'recruiter told me i'm too tough for the marines'.

Why the qualifiers? Fluffy Unicorn or whatever his retard name was flat out said he was in the Marines. And then the Marines said "no he wasn't". My theory is the more cosplay army man these guys are the higher the percentage of stolen valor

Azathoth posted:It's not about the prestige, it's about the toughness, at least for scrawny losers like the one in that picture. They're not physically intimidating, but they really love to shoot their mouth off, yet without their guns, they know that they would lose any actual fight, so they claim to be Marines because everyone knows that all Marines are tough and can kick anyone's rear end and no one fucks with Marines. It's everything that they want to be, but aren't, so they go play dress-up (seriously, love that description) and claim to be something they're not because although they may not be tough, people treat them like they are. The idiots for whom it's about prestige invariably claim to be Navy Seals, Army Rangers, Delta Force, Green Berets, etc. This is what I looked like in Iraq in 2005, after about 5 months:  I was a diesel mechanic, pressed into duty as the head of the base sentry section in a fairly remote infantry/tank outpost without running water. I saw a tank get flipped over by an IED. I watched through my scope as a guy buried a bomb in the road, but we couldn't arrest or shoot him because he came from an Iraqi government 'mineral factory' and to do so might cause an international incident. These cosplayers and wannabes would poo poo their pants and cry if they had to actually leave the safety of their tough guy internet forums. Or kill themselves. Or shoot themselves in the foot and try to get a purple heart (literally happens). And i consider myself an absolute pile of poo poo coward compared to OIF/OEF infantry/tank dudes and most vietnam & WW2 veterans. My neighbor was a machine gunner in vietnam, guy on my fire department was a flamethrowerin vietnam, My friend's dad was a tunnel rat in vietnam. I am nothing by comparison. For stolen valor animals, it's not enough to be an admin clerk, mechanic, bulk fuel specialist, or any of the support roles that make up 95% of the military, that's why the almost universally claim to be some kind of high speed black ops murder machine, because they want to be the star of the show. Stomping the guts out of these scumbags should be considered the moral imperative of every citizen.

When I worked as a field technician I had a Walmart customer all but threaten to shoot me with his shoulder holstered snub nose .38 (pulled his jacket aside so I could see it and asked "want to rethink that statement?") when I told him I couldn't ring him up at the photo counter because I didn't actually work for the store.

From that video, he's clearly got a whole bunch of damage underneath too, but I'd figure that there'd be a surgeon who could figure out a way to make him not look like a still photo of a boxer getting punched in the face.

Azathoth posted:Legit question, isn't there plastic surgery that can at least bring him back somewhere closer to normal? I dunno, it's likely extensive nerve damage that caused the eye issues at least. My old man had a tumor removed some years back, but they told him they did not know the extent of nerve damage would happen and it was irreversible. to this day the right side of his face "droops" and he has no control over the right side of his mouth or eye.

Several of them have hired lawyers, one has a public defender and Ryan Bundy is representing himself with a court-appointed lawyer advising him. (He is not listening to his court-apppointed lawyer.) I imagine that the public defender will be trying to allege federal misconduct.

Captain_Maclaine posted:I believe they also broke it somehow during their digging of the shittrench, or possibly when they failed in an attempt to construct earthworks. A bit back, but weren't they trying to dig earthworks in the Harney basin, slap bang in the middle of a bowl valley with no control over higher ground? All the battlefield experience I have is from the Total War series, and even I know that wouldn't stop an enemy armed with anything more threatening than a pointy stick. Forget the FBI, 18th century redcoats could have taken that place.

What's the legal definition of "violence" then, because they basically took property and barred people from areas they needed to be. Like does it have to [intend to] inflict defined, physical damage?

I'm not a lawyer, but wouldn't a hung jury just result in another trial, and so on, until a definitive guilty/not guilty was reached, or until the prosecutor just said "gently caress it, nevermind"?
