OR - Militia members occupy federal building in Oregon after protest #1

[Everyday Grace]

Egad! Eyewash anyone? I wish I could unsee a couple of the pictures on that page.

Yeah, they're pretty gross. Sorry I didn't think about putting a《CAUTION》sign on the post.

I get kinda numb sometimes from looking too far into folks like these.

Can't say I've ever seen such a nasty looking buddha before.

Ammon Bundy said he would not resist arrest, but he would not cooperate with any prosecution he deemed unconstitutional. He said he is encouraging county residents to convene a grand jury to rule on whether the federal government’s jurisdiction over the reserve is proper. He also is seeking the indictment of the government lawyer who prosecuted the Hammonds.

And there it is.

Sovereign Citizen claptrap.

County grand juries do not have jurisdiction over federal issues.

Except in the "common law grand jury" fever swamp of the Sovereign Citizen.

This causes all kinds of problems—and crimes. For example, many sovereign citizens don’t pay their taxes. They hold illegal courts that issue warrants for judges and police officers. They clog up the court system with frivolous lawsuits and liens against public officials to harass them. And they use fake money orders, personal checks, and the like at government agencies, banks, and businesses.

Crazy begets crazy.

Violence broke out at the Bundy compound Wednesday night between its militant occupants and members of an outside group whose leader says he wants to get women and children out of the compound.

By Wednesday night, one of Arthur's three-person crew was in the hospital, his eye blackened from a punch to the face.

Arthur said Cooper punched him in the back of the head, then attacked his comrade, who goes by the name of J Dog. The group retreated, and J Dog went to the hospital.

And continued into today...

"I'm about to (expletive) your day up!" Santilli yelled as he stormed away from the counter-protesters' tent. "You (expletive) with the wrong person, you (expletive) crackhead!"

Indications are that today has seen some additional inflammatory in-fighting.

I'm wondering what "message" it is that some of the Harney County locals are in agreement with.

"You (expletive) with the wrong person, you (expletive) crackhead!"

Surely not.

Stay classy, Y'allQaedas!

Sheriff, Bundy meet on neutral ground to discuss ending refuge occupation

http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-n...f/2016/01/sheriff_bundy_meet_face_to_fac.html

CRANE -- Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward, backed up by two other sheriffs, met face-to-face Thursday with protest leader Ammon Bundy to try to bring a peaceful end to a weeklong occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

"I'm here to offer safe escort out," the sheriff told Bundy. "Go back and kick it around with your folks."

The sheriff plans to call Bundy on Friday to see what he and his group have decided.

But later Bundy told reporters that the protesters won't leave until federal land in the county is turned over to residents to manage on their own.

"Until we can see that there is a great momentum and the people can get doing that themselves, then we will remain," he said. "That could be a week, that could be a year."​

Who made Bundy king? Zzzzzzzz.

Me too. Felt like a crazy lady laughing to myself on the tram. Gives me faith in humanity that people find the funny side.

[bluesneakers]

He's willing to give them the opportunity to get out peacefully, but no mention of giving them the opportunity to turn themselves in? Gah. The other night the sheriff seemed so tough and honorable, and now I'm just embarrassed for him.

Those were really messed up, and hysterical. Somehow now the word cowpokes brings a totally wrong image to mind.
