So who is gonna go out and occupy the minor bundy's house while he is occupying the federal building? Or at least you know, burgle the poo poo out of it I bet he left a fortune in guns behind.

Robbing a home left empty around the holidays? Sounds like a job for the Wet Bandits.

Local federal law enforcement, surely?


http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/264673-white-house-calls-oregon-standoff-a-local-law-enforcement

This seems dumb. Hard to imagine local law enforcement in rural Oregon are equipped to do much of anything, and god forbid they try and it really would turn into a bloodbath.

If the FBI really has yet to set up a basic circumvallation of these dipshits and their birdwatching fort, I really have to question the competence of every level of the federal response to this.

Are these guys even from Oregon or are they all from out of state? It wouldn't surprise me at all if they all had pickups suited for the Nevada desert and no snow tires between them.

Out of state and apparently not even requested by the arson ranchers' families

I sort of get why the locals or the feds decided not to post people on the roads into the refuge, but surely they could've guessed that leaving the militiamen free to move as they please means they'll bring in more people and supplies

we shouldn't take any course of action that treats the occupiers as anything other than a sad joke

They're not a sad joke anymore though. They started that way, when they shivered their asses off the first few nights. Now they've had time to actually stock up with food and fuel (in part thanks to local sympathizers), odd jobs from around and beyond the state are free to trickle in, and both the work and school schedules of the people who actually live in that area remain disrupted. They're a public nuisance, not a joke, and the longer they're left to their own devices, the more media attention they receive and the more hesitant federal officers seem to actually do something about them, the more full of themselves and their cause they'll be come. Once they're sufficiently high on their own self-righteousness they could graduate to become a public safety risk in that county. What's more important, in the national sense, is the message the standoff says to others who share the militiamen's ideals but have yet to act on them. Upthread someone who claimed to work as a ranger on federal lands out west talked about how the risk their colleagues see in this unfolding situation lies in antigovernment folk taking the feds' and local law enforcement's hesitance as a message that if they stand up for their rights with guns in hand (against, say the nosy park ranger coming by to check your fishing license out on the trails), that the government will back down. If the feds continue to mishandle this situation like they did the Bundy Ranch standoff, it sends the message that the authorities are indeed afraid to tackle right-wing militia groups when they decide owning guns puts them outside the rule of law.

A page back, but It's the worst tasting alcohol imaginable. It has all the flavors of gasoline and burning rubber. Worse yet the taste and feel of it lingers in the back of your mouth lIke a swig of rancid olive oil, and nothing else takes the flavor away except for a good 20 minutes worth of time.

You can also look up Malort Face on Google and see people's reactions. It's generally sold around Chicago.

and for all that, it's just 70 proof? really? these chicago lightweights need to try some diesel

The FBI is playing the long game, which it is world famous for.

What is your basis for this opinion? You have a very high estimation of an organization that's spent much of the last decade and a half catfishing mentally unbalanced American Muslim teens into fake terror plots.
