Here are two controversial names of internet media high profile agitators to watch for as the Bundy armed faction, uh, fails to thrive:
Santilli
Ritzheimer
Both have made a career for themselves by calling themselves "journalists" and "patriots" while vocally leading others right up to the brink of armed insurrection.
They are part and parcel of the Bundy faction.
As this plays out, it appears that they are likely pied pipers to the honeypot out in the middle of nowhere, in the a snowstorm, and poorly provisioned, which has conveniently isolated the most violence prone of potential insurrectionists into a self cleaning oven far from noncombatants.
In case I overlooked it... As winter sets in.
Followed Santilli during the OAS stuff a while back and observed his meltdowns. Crazy scary good fun.

I'm wondering if he gets paid by the head for each unstable, armed malcontent he can lure up that long icy road.
Ritzheimer -- infamous for his 'draw Muhammed contest' -- is my latest personal "favorite" since he just came out with a quiver in the throat, carefully studied 'thousand yard stare' farewell video to his family as he set off to Malheur. "Let it not be in vain!" he not quite sobbed.
But I digress. These two belong in the Psychology Forum under discussion of Narcissism.
Yet and still, they are part and parcel of this Maheur tragi-comedy.
Comparing this situation to the "trigger-happy" actions of individual police actions is completely irrelevant. The police in the Rice tragedy were acting in what they perceived to be a possible and IMMEDIATE life or death situation; the situation is Oregon is completely different.
Yes, the killing of ANY innocent person is a tragedy, and the people responsible should be prosecuted and punished accordingly, but the fact that the authorities in Oregon are adopting a cautious and "wait and see" approach is to be commended.
Please stop trying to turn this into a race issue. It most definitely is NOT.
Is that the best argument you can make in defense of these idiots?
My comment was within the context of the time served. 5 years for their crime vs 17 months (time served) for being an accomplice to the boston bombing is outrageous. I agree with those calling for CJ reform.
UNsubstantuated tweet, indicative, perhaps of rumor and hysteria:
