Sometimes I wish the mods would hold off on the ban for a few hours. Let the hole be dug deeper, let the hilarity go on a little longer...
Whoever they are they're going back to their goblin mountain and bragging about how they got you pressed. Guaranteed. :lol

People are seriously defending these fuckwits?
I commend him for saying flat out what so many want to just say on gaf, and elsewhere. Must be frustrating to word your racism in a way that wont catch a ban. Its why I like Trump. Brings everything to face value. None of this "Oh I don't like Obamas policies!" "Which ones???" "Pfft I just plain don't like him!" "why?" "hes bad for the country..." etc etc

Is it really that surprising?
Its amazing how entitled they think they are. hopefully they can settle this peacefully and punish those who are doing this.
Siege is against international humanitarian law, so that is not happening.

These kids always go for the shocking posts.
If you're gonna troll at least for the entertaining long con troll.
Hell; considering the town it is in and the day of the week - the doors might have been unlocked. I guess when I think of by "force" I think of doing it against active opposition.
I think slow playing it is the best option. They're going to keep screaming dumb shit; further discrediting their cause (letting them destroy their own movement with exposure), and eventually they'll get bored and leave - people will get arrested, and no one dies.
Sadly; there are at least some people who agree with them, and the internet is nothing if not a giant ass megaphone.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Well, I left out the obvious after our government stole it from the Native Americans, unless you are thinking I am wrong about something I wront. If I am, I apologize, but as far as I've been taught or read that's basically the gist of it.
Curious to see where you think what I wrote was wrong or misunderstood.

Also, I know that guy's banned above, but no.. it's highly doubtful they have years worth of supplies. They've lied about their numbers, they are lying about supplies. I'm sure they can hold out of quite some time though.
They did ask them to leave though, but it seems so far that's about as far as the Feds want to escalate this.

My brother is now defending them. Does not help that the guys that recently broke into our house were black.
I tell him that making racist jokes is being racist, he counters with "well, it goes both ways. Don't make jokes about white men with guns". So now Y'all Qaeda is a racist joke?
I live with this guy.

Well that was the thought behind my snarky reply, I admit.
But there is also a whole lot of other things going on here with the "legitimacy" of these people's claims (they have none)
Look, nobody likes dealing with bureaucracy and there's no denying that there's plenty of that with public land use issues. With good reason, though: what is the alternative to government acting as a mediator in public land use? Private ownership of all BLM/Forest Service/National Parks and the disbanding of the Dept. of the Interior?
The whole purpose of the BLM is to allow the public, and private corporations, to use these large areas of "empty" land in western states (this is where and why the American Indian issues come into play, given the fallacy of this premise). The agency already makes provisions for ranchers, miners, recreation, etc. Of course not everyone is happy, because not everyone wants to use the land in the same way. Again, what is the alternative? There are plenty of reasons why the sagebrush rebellion fell apart: there wasn't, isn't, and really can't be any political unity behind it in the first place.
The Bundy gang, though, was making use of the these provisions without even paying the fees to the BLM for DECADES. If I remember right they owe millions of dollars, and see the BLM asking for payment as "tyranny". In other words, they want to socialize the costs of their ranching but privatize the profits. Or, they want to be the ones to decide who has land rights, not the BLM. They are scum bags and ignorant of American history and the principles of democracy.
If people want to talk about streamlining the bureaucracy of public land management in the US, there's better ways to do it than promoting violent sedition.
We can definitely agree that these people should not be the ones to represent that process.

These dudes aren't Navy SEALs. They are out of shape, poorly organized, crybabies with guns.
Of course, they didn't plan.

Actually a little surprised they didn't go loaded with years worth of freeze dried apocalypse supplies that get advertised on conservative talk radio.
You can either buy gold or supplies, they chose poorly.

Found this on Twitter.
The bands on the snake look like Doritos.
Terrorism is the use of fear to achieve a political end. Occupying a building is just protest. Nobody's terrified about going about their day due to this.
This near had me in tears. This was definitely a junior right? Or they just really didn't give a shit anymore?

They've threatened violence if anyone tries to stop them. Schools have been closed in the area and employees of the Refuge can not go back to work until they're out.
This is not "just a protest"
Found this on Twitter.
lol
No need to kick the poor idiotic fool while he's down.
Also, I'm pretty sure that taking over a building that doesn't belong to you counts as looting. Its literally looting the highest value thing in the building: the building itself.

Actually, I think that is one of the Bundys who is now in Oregon.
The Hills Have Eyes
that is amazing and even better
Violence towards practical ends is not terrorism. Its purpose needs to be to incite terror. If its purpose is defending territory, that's not terrorism.
Yes, it's disruptive. Protests are disruptive. Yes, it's a stupid protest. Yes, they should be imprisoned when they're eventually starved out of there. But not every bad thing is terrorism.
Defending? Lolol ok

I look forward to not hearing about this tomorrow because no one cares and the news moves on to the next social media attention grab.
This is amazing.

Great article.
Yes, defending. Like or not, they have control of that area for now.
