Imagine if a group of Muslim men took over a federal property armed with nothing more than prayer rugs. They’d be painted as a dangerous terrorist cell and immediately shipped off to Gitmo.

and these same militia morons would be throwing pig heads at the property and still not get arrested…

I think the answer to that is obvious to everyone.

I like Josh Marshall’s description: White Privilege performance art.

How long do you think if these guys would have lasted if they had done the same exact thing?

As a native Oregonian I second her words. I’m not in favor of an ā€œassaultā€ and I don’t want to see anyone injured, wounded, or killed, but enough is enough. Cut off their utilities, stop allowing them to come and go, and make it clear that when they leave they will be arrested and charged with the appropriate crimes. Personally I’d also charge them with Sedition, since it’s clear that is exactly what this is.

When they get hungry, and really cold, and can no longer recharge their phones and laptops, they’ll give up. Take away the media attention that fuels this fire and it will go out quietly. It’s time for action.

Based on their behavior, I think they’ve been exposed to plenty of lead already…

Armed black men would not take over a wildlife refuge in the middle of nowhere in the freezing winter. Only teahadding white shit-for-brains would even consider it.

I’d suggest sending these dudes in to…er…join the BundyBoyz. Things might get resolved pretty abruptly.

Confronting them any time they leave will increase the media attention one-hundred fold. You didn’t think this through. The authorites - have to.

Give it a rest already. You have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER, ABSOLUTELY NONE how it would be different, or if it would, if these yo-yos were black. The situation would be more tense, yes. But the black President and the black attorney general would treat them differently? There is not a shred of evidence to suggest that.

LATEST: True to form, bundy talked to an FBI negotiator, only to cite his familiar list of impossible demands: Release the Hammond convicts, transfer Federal lands to ignoramus yahoos like Bundy, abandon the refuge, never to return. Lots more beefs. Bundy considered the FBI had no authority anyway because ā€œlocal peopleā€ had not appointed them. They should talk again Friday.

Before I said, I figure they need some FBI ninja-types with tasers and immediately place them all incommunicado even from on another, whisk them off to monitored solo jail cells.. The key is no bloodshed. You have to let individuals speak to their lawyers presently but make it clear the charges will be 5-times worse if the lawyer pulls some press-conference drama queen shit like that insufferable Kim Davis with her pal Upchuckabee, Has to be done in a way that denies them any stage no matter what.

Ish Kibbible.

Now that these ignorant jerks are messing with the native artifacts stored at the reserve and bulldozing over possible archaeologically important areas maybe the Paiutes will go on the war path. This is outrageous – especially the stupid ā€œroad buildingā€ between one of the bunkhouses and the road. They are too lazy to walk to the road apparently.

Here’s hoping the only walking they will soon be doing is around the prison yard if their good behavior justifies. That prodigious moron Finicum says he would rather die than go to jail? Then make certain he serves a long sentence in jail.

Oh, fer Jeebus’ sake…

#Ripley, how would you take care of this Bundy clusterfu*k?

They thought they were renting by the week at the NoTell Motel.

I worked with a guy who used to mock another coworker incessantly. Mock his voice, yell his name at every chance and just be generally disruptive around this person. A classic bully. The abused coworker just ignored the bully hoping that he’d stop. He didn’t stop. He just kept on going until finally HR stepped in and stopped it.

That’s what these clowns seem like. The Feds think if they ignore them, they’ll go away. I don’t think so. They’ll get pissed they are being ignored and then escalate their stupidity. Arrest them now and be done with it.

You don’t want to kill the three functioning brain cells that still have?

No, too much wildlife. Too many important cultural artifacts. Send these morons a few boxes of lawn darts and wait a few weeks.
