I have seen a picture of Ammon handing out rolls of coins to people. Perhaps he has run out?

I thought maybe their sovereign nation had its own currency.

I suppose as part of the hospitality package they're enjoying they get police escorted trips to WalMart and the wine store.

This is a farce.

I'm thinking they may enjoy this little chestnut....

I just dropped by to see what these "cowpokes" were up to today, just more of the same old sheep dip. I love your song I'd say they could really get into that song..

 

[pappa rob]

don't forget the frilly "aprans" I guess they don't have spell check or know hoe to use it... I mean how to use it.

Finicum: Bundy met with elected officials

“BURNS, Ore. (KOIN) — As the standoff led by out-of-state militia at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge continues, Arizona rancher LaVoy Finicum told KOIN 6 News leader Ammon Bundy met with elected officials from multiple states Saturday night.

But Finicum didn’t name names, but said the meeting took place at the refuge.”

*

“The Washington Post on Sunday reported ISIS is urging Americans to instigate more demonstrations against the government:

“A Twitter posting addressed to members of the Islamic State community describes the ongoing occupation by armed rancher Ammon Bundy and his fellow activists as a “key opportunity,” and suggests that Islamists should do what they can to help them.””

*

“There were tense moments on Saturday when a heavily armed “security detail” from Idaho and the Pacific Northwest arrived at the refuge unannounced. They prevented journalists from freely moving on public lands. Bundy later told them they were not welcome and they apparently left.”​

Sure would like to know who those elected officials are.

Re ISIS: In my opinion, there is no difference between all these 'militia type' groups and what I know of the 'ISIS type' groups.

Sliced AND shredded cheese. Haven't they heard of a knife and a cheese grater?

I don't see much difference either, except ISIS seems to be in it for idealogical reasons and the militia men are in it for the money.

I can't find a legit link but there's video of them talking with FBI members at the airport. It blows my mind they can show up with guns and be treated as equals.

What kind of real man grates his own cheese? Of course cutting cheese is another thing altogether..

Really, a goodbye message to his family and he posts it for all to see. If my spouse had posted that to me the only thing I would want to know is if his life insurance was paid up, because it would tell me how little he really cares about his family. What a farce.

If I could the only thing I would be sending them is some brains because they seem to be short quite a few.

 

[ohreally]

I do think that these people are domestic terrorists. I do not think they are anywhere near what ISIS is. If they were acting like ISIS they would not have a grocery list. They would just go into town and shoot anyone in thier way and take everything they want. They would not be waiting for law enforcement to make the first move they would already be shooting anyone in law enforcement. It's just my opinion, but they are in no way like ISIS.

 

[Donjeta]

Hoping that worked.

Gosh they're trying to overthrow the government and didn't think to pack socks and underwear?

 

[renah]

I feel a little guilty enjoying all these zingers, but it sure provides a good measure of comic relief after all the other disheartening horror contained within these forums. THANK YOU

Besides, these absurd characters deserve every bit of ridicule thrown their way.

Gaming supplies. So they think they're at Scout camp.

Is it possible this is just some kind of elaborate performance art?

Naaah, probably not, with Bundys involved.

 

[IzzyBlanche]

In Harney County, may the anarchy die of its own cluelessness: Editorial

It is difficult to overlook the rustic glamour [Editorial comment from IzzyBlanche: NO IT ISN'T.] of Ammon Bundy, who leads the illegal armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters, south of Burns.

...

More than anything, Bundy and his cronies, citing Constitutional rights they fail to explicate, pass themselves off as apple-pie patriots, hands on the trigger and ready to fight the good fight. They have watched too much TV.

...

The occupiers are glib in calling themselves "patriots." Real patriots would honor and test the systems of government for reform, avoid local intrusion – and, well, never celebrate themselves as patriots.

Gosh. They are survivalists, not SAVAGES. Pshaw. :snooty:

 

[ohreally]

It seems like thier only plan was to take over the refuge and have a shootout with law enforcement. Either die or head home within a few days. When that didn't happen they have become lost in what to do next.
They had the opportunity to have two militia groups with the big guns help them start a war yet they turned them away.
Does anyone else get the impression that they know they have lost, but pride won't let them go home?

If they'd of asked for yarn and knitting needles they could of made their own. That's what a real survivalist would do... Or be a man and just go without, commando style..
