These dangerous clowns are really stepping up their aggression and their presence nationwide. I bet the vast majority of Americans have never heard of them, but I’m sure as the election gets closer, they will.
I predict they’ll be more openly involved with voter suppression in the guise of protecting against “voter fraud”. They’ll likely show up to disrupt either Clinton or Sanders events. I see them openly backing Donald Trump and likely showing up as his “bodyguards” wherever he goes.
Dangerous people playing at a very dangerous game. Totalitarian societies are born of such excesses.

So, if we substitute “Ferguson” for “Montana Gold Mine”, and “African Americans” for “Oath-Keepers”, does anyone truly doubt that there would have already been lots of bloodshed?
Why do we put up with armed anti-government groups like this without cracking down harder?

Attention, Feds:
SHOOT THEM.

If I had the personal funds, I’d hire the New Black Panthers to police the public access ways. I’m not looking for bloodshed, just their reactions.
The feds have been handling these nuts with especially soft kid gloves the last few years. It’s time to make them put their monies where their mouths are–basically down a black hole.

If there is one thing I’d like to see Obama do before he leaves office it’s order the FBI and ATF to move in, arrest these clowns and seize their land, the Oregon mine land, and the Bundy Ranch and incarcerate everyone who took up arms against this country.

Time for a little shock and awe. The Feds need to overwhelm this bunch with decisive and destructive force to clearly demonstrate what happens to domestic terrorists.

The “White Hope” mine pretty much says it all.

Amen 
GIve 'em an inch and they’ll take a mine.
Time for the smell of napalm in the morning? Gotta draw a line somewhere. Maybe they can recruit Cliven Bundy to join their little law-breakn’ party, and the Feds can clean up the whole mess with one fell swoop.

Absolutely, I never understood the whole Bundy deal. It was horrifying to watch these clowns line up federal officers in their sniper sights and yet, nothing was done.

Don’t forget “and declaring themselves to be the law now”.

This is what happens when the Feds allow a racist clown like Cliven Bundy to “win” in a standoff against the Federal Government. It “inspires” other racist clowns like these to start breaking the law and doing whatever the hell they please, because they have no fear of repercussions from the Federal Government who they now believe is apparently afraid to enforce the laws once they see armed white men.
The “White Hope” mine. God, if that’s not f’d up I don’t know what is.
And lets be VERY clear here. If these were a crowd of dozens of armed BLACK men illegally staking a claim on the “Black Hope” mine, does anyone believe this would have gotten to this point, or would the local police have swarmed in guns blazing? Yeah, I think we all know the answer to that one.
SMH.

Let us know if you start a go-fund-me fund, I would gladly contribute. And bring a video camera when it happens.

“… the Oath Keepers, a loose-knit national organization of current and former U.S. military and law enforcement officers that pledge to uphold the Constitution”
Gee, I want a noble sounding tagline to accompany articles when I start my reign of terror. I can picture it now – “… the Bunny Tamers, a loose-knit organization of former defense workers dedicated to protecting habitat for vegetarian creatures of the native forests, fire-bombed a small town in central Florida today, killing seven and holding hundreds hostage.”
Why have these people not been arrested and toted off to jail already. Seriously. This is ludicrous, frightening and sad.

Please stop being so oblivious about how white supremacy and systematic racism works. Substituting Ferguson and African Americans is a false comparison and the continued “outrage” gets us nowhere. The oathkeepers, the militias, the Cliven Bundys, they all accept their supremacy without question. That’s the point. They know they can sashay around Ohio or Texas or at the Atlanta airport with their AR-15s exposed. And they know that armed black men cannot. That’s what Black Lives Matter adherents are attempting to explain to Hillary and Bernie–how systematic racism works. Our country doesn’t exist so that people with actual grievances can get redress. It’s designed to protect, at all cost, the contrived grievances of armed white people. That’s why you won’t see federal agents engage in an armed confrontation with oathkeepers and militias but have no compunction about shooting unarmed black people.

I agree with both of you. I don’t believe, though, Castor_Troy is oblivious with his comment. You both made really good–and correct–observations.

Don’t hold your breath hoping Obama will do the right thing, ever. He’s shown us for 6-7 years he is a liar and coward, same for Eric Holder, the AG who was always missing in action, both taking their paychecks and laughing at We The People, not helping, not enforcing any laws against White Supremacists, not obeying any laws really.

Everyone; the Oath Keepers, the government and the public, knows an armed conflict between Federal troops and the Oath Keepers is what the Oath Keeper desperately want. They WANT to fire on Federal agents. They WANT to discharge their weapons into human beings. They WANT such an event to spark what they are convinced will become a larger uprising, and the firing upon of ever more Federal agents and troops in other locales. Each dispute is a new opportunity for them to bring about what they feel will be a new American Revolution. Resulting in what? A return to the paradigm of the white power structure that ruled in “The good old days”. 1850 again. No IRS. No government regulations. Unfettered laying of waste to the lands and waters. Blacks and women knew their place. Oath Keepers go to sleep at night just praying the next day the slaughter starts. Bet on it.

Once upon a time, I think this country had a Dept. of Justice? Just wondering, I’ve forgotten, it’s been so long since they did anything for We The People, instead of just themselves as exemplified by Eric Holder, the MIA AG, in the revolving door to and from Wall Street, like all of Obama’s employees. I found it hard to believe they let Cliven Bundy aim loaded assault rifles at government enforcement personnel, and the government backed down, defeated. That indicates just how lost the government is, and how racist.
