"His friends and his neighbors stated that he did not trust the government, that he was a Vietnam vet, and that he had PTSD," Byrd told the civil rights group. "He was standoffish, didn't socialize or have any contact with anybody. He was a survivalist type."
Indeed? And the rhetoric gets thicker. Ya know, I gatbered, from tbe reporting of this, tbat tbis creep is just a nutjob. Tbis is tbe first I have heard of politics being a factor.I mean, wow, if he were a nature nazi Earth First type straigbt up Obama voter, (which he may be for all the real info we have) would it make this more tolerable?
What is it with lefty Demorats anyway? What makes hatred, bigotry, and racial stereotyping OK for you, but an intolerable sin from anyone else? It's just fine for you to generalize that any wackjob that commits a crime like this MUST be a white Republican redneck trailer trash. Really, you'uns could make a race based political statement out of ANYTHING! What is it with that?
Let me offer a hint folks.... a very SMALL PERCENTAGE of survivialist/preppers are nut jobs.
Now.... as far as Mentally Ill... I can offer 1st hand knowledge. I WORK with the Mentally Ill, and a very SMALL PERCENTAGE even know what "survivialist/prepper" means.
So stop lumping nutjobs into your little personal envelope. It only works that way in Main Stream Media when they have an AGENDA to fulfill.
What proof do you have that a small percentage are nutters?
Anecdote does not equal data.
It's just another act of right wing domestic terrorism. Even you even mention it though the right wing goes bonkers.
Another dose of left wing stupidity...leave it to scum from both sides to politicize such a horrible scenario.Just imagine if this was your child and how you would feel...step away from the partisan politics just for a minute.
Until we know more about the demands, this situation probably has no politics involved.
Yes it is entirely probable that this man fits a certain political stereotype, but there is no point discussing that.
The only important detail is that this man has a bunker with enough food to survive for who knows how long. Not that there is anything wrong with that, its just that this type of hostage situation could be rigged against the good folk.

"Pro-government president holding millions of children hostage in poverty."
Both seem to have mental issues.
