This needs to end now or rightwing terrorists will take over federal property all over the nation.

This is exactly what I’m afraid of. Eventually, other groups will become envious of the ‘stand’ and want a piece of the action and will reinforce the handful currently there.

Look at the bright side. It becomes a larger target of opportunity.

Of course they are. The federal government’s handling of this farce is sending a giant signal to the “sovereign citizen”, “oath keeper”, “minutemen” and others of the pseudo-militia let’s-pretend crowd:

YOU ARE IMMUNE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PROCESS AND WE ARE TOOTHLESS AND/OR COMPLETELY UNWILLING TO STOP YOU, ARREST YOU, CHARGE YOU, PROSECUTE YOU, PUNISH YOU OR SERVE ANY SORT OF JUSTICE UPON YOU, SO PLEASE DO THIS MORE OFTEN, RIGHT NOW AND EVERYWHERE YOU POSSIBLY CAN. THANK YOU, AND HAVE A VERY WHITE PRIVILEGED DAY.

It’s not “implied” consent anymore when they’ve been told explicitly that they can “come and go as they please.”

The johnnies-cum-lately wantin’ a piece of the notoriety.

Can you say ‘camp-followers’? …a derogatory term for ladies who followed armies on the move way back when.

Wondering how much money these jerks are getting from the government…?

No need for hysteria.

I’m not a rightwing terrorist myself but I do have my eye on some nice federal land in Hawaii.

Seriously why doesn’t some Constitutional scholar point out that the federal government owned (well, really stole) the land first, the Louisiana Purchase, Oregon territory (treaty with Great Britain) Mexican Cession and the Gadsden Purchase before these states actually existed.

14

Agreed.

The community has settled down, the dust is settling and they’re starting to support these guys – by the dozens if not more," Soper said.

More? like bakers dozens more?

Oh for god’s sake… The pervasive smell of man-sweat and gunpowder, the mass quantities of idiocy pheromones being released into the air, the predominant ‘whos-got-a-bigger-dick’ attitudes being displayed, the constant demonstrations of white superiority by a group of redneck hillbillies (they haven’t been mowed down by the cops like a non-white crowd would have been)…

Now they’ve done it!!! The rest of the ‘Retarded Anglo’ branch of the Gunfetishisticus NON-sapiens will mass congregate in that area for an extended perverse group mating ritual!!! Please turn off the cameras now! We truly, absolutely do not want to see this or have it recorded… shiver

I want to hear more about First Nations’ grievances with the federal government, which are far more real and pressing than a bunch of half-cocked angry inchers who have the freedom of movement but seem unaware of it.

19

Well…we know the guy wearing the mossy oak in the snow has his shit together.
