“On Saturday a separate group of armed men arrived but left several hours later…”

$117,000 a week, to be precise. That is the cost of the payroll for BLM personnel that have furloughed due to threats, etc.

If these gun-toting anarchists are truly on a “Mission from God”, then they should be able to simply pray for the Good Lord to provide for their nutritional needs – call it “Cheetos and pork rinds from heaven”.

Doesn’t include the cost of keeping kids out of school, or the cost to local and state law enforcement.

Which would parallel the precision and wisdom of their advance planning thus far.

The government should find someone infected with an airborne contagion – some kind of mutated Ebola perhaps – to drive the supply truck. That should do the trick. :wink:

You could always go home.

Or, starve you jerks!

thought they spent all that crowdfund money on beer?

Some enterprising cowboy candidate ought to fundraise on this…

build a “BEER FOR BUNDY” paypal button…

With all the survivalist websites out there, it’s difficult to understand how these bozos weren’t better prepared. Except for the fact that they are bozos.

Probably not prepared because they were expecting some sort of “Mission Accomplished” scenario where the feds would just walk off and let them take over.

The Guardian said one of the things they wanted delivered was Miracle Whip. Seriously. I don’t even want to know what 15 guys in a cabin are going to use Miracle Whip for.

Open letter from the Winded Warriors of Bundyland, Oregon: “Please don’t forget the sacrifice we are making. Please send thermal footies and underwear, Scoobie snacks and Granola (assorted flavors), RedBull drinks, equipment for cold weather, some winter fatigues, maybe some Jack Daniels, and…and a big box of Kleenex, TP and air fresheners, oh…and KY Jelly (gun oil chafes like heck)…and a few pretty sheep would be extra nice for the long haul."

“…when there is a plan to transfer control of federal land to locals.”
What?
That’s a laughable cause. That’s never going to happen and shouldn’t. Back to which locals? None of these people are even from the area. Why aren’t they protesting federal land stuff back at their own homes?
The police should have dropped the hammer on this place in the first hour.
It wouldn’t even be a story anymore.

An interesting development from the local Birding Community (from DKos):

And for those of us who are also lawyers (I for example just happen to have a law degree of U of Oregon), whether the Feds prosecute you or not (and we will do all in our power to ensure they do), we will put every civil suit against you and God knows you have given us plenty to work with, so you will know once and for all that your odious actions have real consequences.

The birders are apparently keeping track of all who provide assistance to those occupying the Malheur Refuge-- and are threatening boycotts of local businesses-- in the upcoming birdwatching season-- of those choosing to assist in extending this sham.
