I dont support their occupation of a federal building. But until they start burning down neighborhoods attacking people and otherwise spreading fear this is a ridiculous premise.
They are in the middle of nowhere in a federal building... terrorism? lol
Sounds like you need to take your beef with the definition of what that is "terrorism" up with the FBI.
People need to do their research going back to the 60's on this situation. Many people in this thread are making comments without knowing full well the facts of this story.
SHORT STORY:
Gubmint agency involved in despicable takeover of local ranches to expand a "wildlife refuge" that was some politicrat's wet dream. Zero ecological reason for the expansion of the refuge.

Occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.
In many of these last 39 pages of posts there is a definite bias aligned with any and all acts of armed threats against the government in the name of citizens rights. This fact alone poses a threat to our notions of law and order, it includes a virulent hatred for any form of restraint imposed by laws these people don't agree with. Whether or not we agree with the fact of BLM land being "owned" by government isn't the core of this particular event, ARMED dissent is what is happening, and that fact makes the obligatory duty of law enforcement dangerous and deadly.
Waco, Ruby Ridge, Oklahoma bombing, Aryan Nations, and now add to those extremist actions the antics of the Bundy's and their right wing mentality mixed with a unhealthy notion of Taliban style religious extremism and we got a real problem. Meatheads in these militias are openly transparent in their low brow infatuation with the military, and guns, bibles and bullets, rights and religion, patriotism and pathological fantasy. Round em up, put em on trial, and put em in prison, in America you either believe in the law and obey it, or, deny the power of law and become a criminal.
If they had shown up unarmed I'd be all for their protest, it is our right to peacefully protest this government's actions, that's what we started out as --protesters against the Crown. But the BS surrounding these types with their phony military crap, the swaggering toting of guns and the obvious threat that poses to law enforcement makes them armed criminals, and no better than any gangsta type that thinks our laws don't apply to them...
