I guess I’m missing the part of the armed standoff that’s a ‘peaceful assembly’.
I’m also missing why you need to bring guns to a ‘peaceful assembly’.

I’m sure they’ll leave their guns behind. After all, they’re all about “peaceable”. They’re quite vocal about it.

More morons volunteering to spend years in federal prison and give up the right to legally possess firearms for the rest of their lives?

I live in Chicago. I f I tried this here, the police would kill my whole family. I can’t help thinking these guys think they are being wronged and punished unjustly. But to me, they look like brats being further spoiled.

BJ Soper, a founding member of the Pacific Patriots Network promoted the “call to action” on his Facebook page Friday and told the Oregonian Thursday that his group is planning a protest in Burns for Saturday.

Did my ten-year-old write this? It sure as hell sounds like him. He’s demanded my resignation and requested to escort me out of the county several times.

Sure wish TPM would stop referring to these groups as “patriots” and “militia” just because they say so.

“PPN condemns the DISHONEST tactics used to arrest Jason Patrick,” the statement said, accusing the FBI lying to Patrick by telling him was free to leave the refuge.

Did the FBI do that? Gee, what a shame.

It might be more entertaining if they were called what they are:
FUCKING IDIOTS with guns looking to get arrested.
On second thought that’s a rather long moniker. I’ll just shorten that to
FUCKING IDIOTS
edit
But that 1st version has a sort of Jerry Seinfeld ring to it.

If the only thing that comes out of this is that thousands of chairborne commandoes who’ve had their Red Dawn fantasies coddled for decades suddenly get a good hard look at themselves, it may end up being worth it after all.

I sincerely hope that, in the course of justifying to themselves why they don’t want to spend 12 hours in the car to go hang out with assholes in a snowy field in the middle of nowhere, maybe a few dozen will rethink the entire stupid direction in which they have taken their lives.

Bingo. These guys are intellectually and emotionally about ten, and that’s being charitable.

Which is actually a very good thing. The more of these traitorous terrorists there are behind bars, the safer the rest of us will be.

Dear Ammosexuals:

As events of night before last clearly show, you are in no position to make any more demands. Kindly surrender and end this charade. You aren’t in a winning position.

Here’s your call to action: go start digging up shitty pipes in Michigan to replace them and show them that communities can do fine on their own, thank you very much, without Big Government.

Yeah, not as glamorous as showing off your one-inchers and making jihadi videos, but you know, it might help with the credibility issue.

Re: airing of grievances coupled with these gun humpers…I had a sentence about the Festivus pole but it seemed too risqué.

THE BASIC GRIEVANCE: “We want to steal the Federal resources that the Federal Govt. stole from the Indians in the 19th century …who stole it from other Indians there before them, and on and on.”
