no, but they are an armed group occupying gov't property and threatening violence. Sounds like terrorism to me. I guess they're lucky I'm not a judge/DA is what I mean.

Only way to deal with these assholes is to wait them out. Ramping up the response will instigate them and lead to violence. They only have so much food and water with no leverage. If they come out on their own it weakens thier movement and shows how fucking unreasonable they are. people seem to forget Waco lead to the Oklahoma City bombing.

fair enough, but that's no reason this story can't end with them spending the majority of their lives in Club Fed (I'm not betting on that happening, but that would be the ideal outcome in my eyes)

They are trying to rile people up to join the movement, this can end if they show how toothless they are by waiting them out and having a peaceful end to the situation. They can take them into custody and charge them at that point.
It doesn't seem to have worked with Trump.

The Federal Government wants to avoid that disaster again, which is why these idiots have been given such a long leash.
They keep testing, though.

What floors me is the vast difference in the reporting of this situation. From a standpoint on it being a bad situation, I'm sure the feds can talk it out, but imagine this same setup happening with any group of minorities. The media response alone would quickly diverge.

They're just really mad the Ducks blew the big game.
It hasn't even been reported on by CNN or MSNBC.

listen to the mad man
To be fair there's very little difference between a sit-in and an occupation...
... with the exception of the presence of arms and the willingness to use force.
... which is kinda the operative thing here
this whole thing has been a fiasco from the start; always a possibility if any of these not jobs survive I will run into them at work
exactly, I doubt any of their mothers packed them a lunch

So terrorists occupy a Government building on US soil. Wonderful.
What did these ranchers who are going to prison do? I only vaguely remember the Bundy protest, and seem to recall it was about them not paying the Government for the use of federal land for grazing.

Watch these guys get a nicer treatment than Occupy did.
Well they're not really inconveniencing a bunch of entitled people so of course they're going to get a nicer treatment.
This is a pretty good one but I'd say the pic where Homer forms the vigilante group but secretly wants a militia is better.
i was under the impression that the fire got out of control burning federal land. Not intentionally setting fire to it. Though I could be wrong. Not really sure how I feel about the ranchers

Take the kid gloves off. These assholes need to be taught a lesson

Actually there's a little more to it. They were convicted of arson and served their sentence, but the Federal judge realized under the law their prison time was too short and ordered them back to prison to serve more time. I'm guessing it's a combination of both circumstances that led to this.
so escilate the situation possibly leading to the loss of life? There are probably better ways to handel it at present

No not militarily. There has to be something they can do because these assholes think they are above the law

Yeah, this. Suspected communists, or the rumoured ones at least, we're treated far worse than this. And those people never had proof they were communists!

When is the white leadership going to speak out against these animals?
Giving people camera time just legitimizes them due to appeals to authority.

That ship sailed when the pro-slavery comment was made. Hannity was very scared haha.

An overview, with local footage, of the protest, as well as a post-occupation interview at the end.
