Local, city, county, and state can't respond. Tell OSP who can barely keep police on the road at night to come. Tell Harney County with 6 deputies to come. poo poo, tell Grant County to bring theirs, too! Malheur County can come right on in!

It's nice that you can look at a map and pretend you understand the area and fantasize about the feds staging a raid on a bunch of yeehaws set up in a CCC shack an hour away from a grocery store.

This is a good point, SE (and probably E in general, but there's some actual population netween Pendleton and Baker City) Oregon has been unable to keep an acceptable number of police officers on the road for years now. FBI do what FBI gonna do, but if it involves local LE, there is a very good chance that some unrelated person's call is going to get answered late.

The "resources" are irrelevant. Armed gunman cannot interfere with federal business. That is not a thing you are allowed to do. The importance of the location effects how urgent the situation is, but low importance does not mean there is no situation.

Oddly enough I've met some fat as hell guys that were active/in the reserves that were in very good physical shape underneath all the fat. The military actually makes exceptions for really fat guys that can still pass certain requirements.

I've met a good number of dudes who were fat but also worked out a lot. Some people just have bodies that won't get low in body fat while other people are very active but also gluttonous.

i also know a couple of ''fat' huge muscle dudes, guess what, they dont look like that

As opposed to just leaving them alone which as we can see here did wonders at dealing with them such that they wouldn't escalate the situation.

they literally escalated by getting into their trucks and driving an hour to some abandoned shack in the woods

preppers are pissed at ammon bundy because he advertised this whole thing as a peaceful protest (where the 150+ militia number comes from) then pulled this takeover poo poo at the last minute hoping to get everyone to shrug and say 'well im here anyway' (and still only got like 15 people)

Who What Now posted:

Does that somehow make it not a crime? It's good they aren't being raided, it will be bad if they aren't arrested.

its a crime, but going in WACO TACTICAL STYLE is a PR misstep at this point and the FBI has a bit of institutional knowledge about making this exact mistake

the fact that these guys are so hilariously underprepared probably plays into the FBI's decision making process too, this isnt a platoon of highly trained and supplied ex-soldiers, its a bunch of morons asking for snacks on facebook

e: i see what youre saying but if you want to arrest them right now, thats a raid

the FBI already knows whos there thanks to facebook, media interviews, and the fact that theres like 15 of them, the wheels of justice can afford to turn slowly here

His case, sure. What about the dozens of armed lunatics pointing guns at Federal agents? They're the ones who should have already been arrested.

Yes they should be arrested but crimes don't exist in a vacuum. If we can wait for them to run out of snacks then arrest them quietly one by one that is far better than rolling up in armored cars and kicking off the Waco Memorial Race War. The government is actually being smart for once, yes it sucks that these white idiots are getting treated more gently than OWS/BLM protesters but as someone said earlier:

Popular Thug Drink posted:

yeah it's a little disturbing how many people are correctly identifying the racial disparity in dealing with peaceful protests and come to the conclusion "i wish the police would treat these white guys as harshly as they treat black guys" instead of "i wish the police would treat black guys as gently as they treat white guys"

Also we can't raid yet, not before PETA shows up.

http://www.peta.org/blog/vegan-jerky-to-be-hand-delivered-to-oregon-cattle-ranching-militia/ posted:

Vegan Jerky To Be Hand-Delivered to Oregon Cattle-Ranching Militia

The militant cattle ranchers currently occupying Malheur National Wildlife Refuge have appealed for snacks, and PETA is answering the call with a hand-delivered package of vegan jerky that contains more protein than beef does. The PETA staffers, who will bear signs reading, “The End (of Animal Agriculture) Is Nigh: Get Out Now!” are suggesting that militia members learn to raise crops, not cows—allowing the many species of wild animals the refuge was designed to protect to thrive.

“People from all walks of life are increasingly appalled by the idea of slaughtering animals and realize, too, the harmful impact that animal agriculture has on the environment, so it’s time to face facts,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “These ranchers may have a beef with the feds, but their water use and the cattle’s production of methane mean that the world needs them to get out of the beef business.”

As PETA notes, the Worldwatch Institute estimates that animal agriculture is responsible for 51 percent of human-caused greenhouse-gas emissions and the University of Chicago determined that switching to a vegan diet is more effective in countering climate change than switching from a standard American car to a hybrid.

If they're waiting on them to "run out of snacks" then maybe they shouldn't be letting people come in and out freely to bring them supplies.

All the supplies in the world won't change the fact that these guys are idiots who not only showed up to a siege unprepared but also managed to piss off everyone else in their tiny community by billing this as a peaceful protest then taking over a government building. This sit in will implode on it's own, the absolute best move the government can make is to just wait it out.

Builder of website about Malheur occupation says '#Pray4ISIS' social media posts were just rants

e:

Fry, who has also made a website supporting the standoff, said in an interview Tuesday night that he is not a supporter of the Islamic State. He characterized his Google+ page — which also includes the hashtag "#HitlerWasRight" and phrase "obama needs to be hung after being found guilty for TREASON!!" — as him "ranting off" and being facetious and sarcastic at times.

Why do you people immediately go to "CONSPIRACY NUT TRYING TO SAY ITS A FALSE FLAG" When you intentionally misunderstand what I am trying to say. The farmer isn't part of the loving government. However I'm not sure he sat on his porch watching the Bundy Bro's cut the fence down. He probably supported the action, however now that he realises that the feds may raid the place he's quick to switch to playing dumb as to not get wrapped up in an insurrection.

or maybe hes just a rancher who doesnt want his cows wandering outside his fenced in area?

Well yes that's another option, however I'm sure the cows grazing fertile land is a pretty nice thing to have. Especially when it's free.

a couple of hours of free grazing is not worth the clusterfuck of a headache that intentionally cutting the wire right now would bring down

can you not understand that maybe this is just a dude who wants to do cattle things and not get involved in the snack revolution?
