How could this possibly go wrong? Since they’ve already been harassing the locals…

Good strategy. I would pay to see this in person.

How long is the Fed going to put up with this nonsense? This is a horrible precedent to set for future attempted land grabs.

Fox: We will bring the trial live. Only on Fox. Obama will finally be impeached by true Patriots.

it’s fun to play dress up. in the privacy of your own home. where the entire nation won’t laugh at you. and where it is usually intended to lead to killer sex with your s/o.

They just keep making bigger fools of themselves. The ‘locals’ hate their presence and have been routinely harassed by these morons. I say let them continue.

No. It’s not a precedent. You don’t go all militarized-police on these jamokes for the same reason you shouldn’t use drones and carpet-bombing against terrorist criminals. You do that, you legitimize them. These fucks will go to jail…AFTER the news-tainment complex has been distracted by the next shiny object.

I hope everyone is locked and loaded at all meetings. For their “own protection”.

If this guy is not a real judge, why, when giving his name, is TPM including the title of one?

I used to be a reporter and this paragraph

“According to the Oregonian, self-proclaimed U.S. Superior Court Judge Bruce Doucette (not a real
judge) arrived in Harney County Tuesday and is readying militiamen for a big old trial.”

is VERY wrong. It should read:

"According to the Oregonian, Brian Doucette, who claims to be a U.S. Superior Court Judge but is not, arrived at Harney County Tuesday and is readying militiamen for a ‘trial.’

This ratcheting up the drama, playing make believe and all, makes me think these guys get each other amped up on this paranoia because it gives them a dopamine rush, and militia types are the ones who’ve gotten psychologically addicted.

These kids today don’t know nuttin’. Scare quotes around fake titles, that’s what we did in the good old days. By cracky.

Please. These are NOT “Oregon Militiamen”. They are not Oregonians. They are outsiders - foreigners, you might say.

How sad. Our government (Obama’s administration) is so wimpy they won’t do what is necessary…remove and arrest these clowns.

Sooner or later these idiots are going to accidentally pull a trigger and someone is going to be hurt.

Get them out of there or kill them!.

Well, let them hang a couple people. But once they pass a dozen it’ll be time to arrest them.

Probably.

Precedent was set with Bundy. Now they’re just reinforcing it.

When a tendency to think in abstract rather than concrete terms is joined with low-average IQ or simply an inability to reason logically, this is what you get: “sovereign citizens,” libertarians, people who believe in astrology and magic healing crystals. They’d just be objects of pity or sources of annoyance if not for their almost unrestricted ability to hoard guns and ammunition.
