I'm guessing the locals pronounce "Malheur" to rhyme with "baller", right?
North America is full of French-named stuff that the locals have changed the pronunciation of so badly that you'd never know it was a originally French.
There's a town in Saskatchewan called "Bienfait" ("bien fait" being French for "well done") that the denizens pronounce "bean fate" for some ungodly reason.

they pronounce it closer to the French pronunciation, no one says "maller" or anything that rhymes with baller. mäl-heur?

Maybe the idiot pointing guns on the overpass got busted too? Seems like another day of arrests.

That image about "Davey" was from his 2014 arrest, as far as I can tell there's no word of charges for his 2016 arrest.

it was a "KILL STOP" and he was set up for death

in other news a few weeks ago I walked past a rally in front of the federal courthouse in Portland on my way to lunch. I got into a yelling argument with an Idaho III% moron who recognized me from a youtube video of "liberal trolls" after I took this picture:

Maybe 40, max - there were a few more standing to the left and some still gathered in the center of the park. Plenty were driving around in pickups flying confederate flags, because, you know, Oregon is totally part of the south

He didn't just make reservoirs, he dammed up creeks to collect the water to make those reservoirs, all trying to make his own minor hydraulic empire downstream.

And yet he's still propped up as just some poor old simple boy who wanted to get some water in barrels! Gosh won't this government just stop overstepping their bounds?

There's lots of obsidian in that area of Oregon (see: glass buttes) and a lot of flint knappers. Worked obsidian is basically garbage, perfect for the memorial

I'm gonna pass through Burns and past the refuge tomorrow. Glad it's not filled with idiots anymore.

Given the offer/motivation came from a standing politician, he probably thought he was going to get diplomatic immunity or something.


You should swing past the memorial and dump a few bags of rock salt on it to salt the earth

If I was passing on 395 I'd take a nice, steamy piss on it. Maybe I'll adjust my route...

I went outside the courthouse a bit ago, there's only a handful of supporters. The feds have taped laws about carrying guns on federal property to the building and there's still the dude with a Guy Fawkes camo mask and someone handing out jury nullification pamphlets. I'm gonna attempt to be there tomorrow morning to catch some actual occupiers - I wanna have my photo taken with Shawna Cox

Zero protestors at the courthouse today. Where are the thousands of patriots? Where are the horses draped in flags?

I saw Kenneth Medenbach being interviewed by a reporter in the morning, they were both standing alone on an empty block. Kinda sad.
