Any way you look at it he got what he asked for, the ignorant bastard.

Some say any loss of human life is a tragedy.
Some don’t.

mark me down in the don’t column when it comes to the militia shits (perhaps a natural reaction from an Okie that remembers 1995)

So this is “new video” we here in the TPM comments section posted over a week ago.
Josh and crew should really consider stooping to the level of us hoi polloi. They may be a little better informed and up-to-date if they did.

A pistol can be briefly seen in Ryan Bundy’s right hand at 6:17. Planning on shooting it out with the OSP/FBI?

It seems to me that most of those ding dongs involved in the “occupation” could be charged with murder, when you are committing a crime and someone is killed as part of that crime, even if you did nothing other than join the conspiracy, you can be held liable for the consequences. Which in this case is the death of the chief of the ding dongs.

So be careful what you ask for. He said all along he wanted to die before going to prison. Mission Accomplished. He never gave any thought to the family he left behind. Nice guy!!

So the nutball terrorist got exactly what he asked for. I have no sympathy.

Listenin’ the Christian rock and running from the police. “Jest shoot me!”
Though I would have paid money to see them waving a bra as their white flag of surrender!
I want to feel bad but I just can seem to summon that emotion…

Not much new to be learned here, but I will say this: The first two shots strike me as being fired too early, and I think that’s what the two FBI agents are in trouble for and they knew it, which is why they hid it. It’s a good thing they didn’t hit anyone with them.
Also, 6:15 or so…is that his gun or his phone? I couldn’t tell.
Edit: One more thing…this proves that the “eye witness” testimony from the people in the car about him being shot in cold blood like an execution was total bullshit. They couldn’t see squat because they were “hunkerin’ down” on the backseat and floor of the vehicle.

As I see it, if we’re willing to give a pass in this situation, then we should be willing to do the same when the “victims” are more sympathetic to our ideology.
In order to respond to certain levels of force, law enforcement needs to be able to respond in a reasonable and prudent fashion. This response cannot take into account race, religion, sexual orientation (male or female). A trained individual should be able to respond in a manner in which a reasonable person under like circumstances would respond in the same way.

Those who live by the sword.
They made up this fantasy-world of militia men and they have lived the fantasy to the point where they believe it and everything that happened is on them - the occupiers, the fantasists who think they are entitled to form their own country inside of ours and run it according to their own rules. Well, they thought alllll of this up and they made it happen.

I love how they used CS rounds to smoke out the terrorists.
