Interesting situation developing right now.

A so-called militia with ties to Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy have seized a remote federal building in a frigid southeast Oregon wildlife refuge with no plans to leave.

I suppose this kind of protesting is perfectly ok. lol

Someone just started another thread on this, sort of. Talking about an innocent man who simply burned his own land to get rid of an invasive tree species.

Are they occupying/taking over federal property?

How are they not...oh, wait, never mind.

Nothing to see here, y'all.

They will walk away unscathed, per usual.

Tear gas them and long prison sentences. This is because the feds let that squatter rancher off Scot free.

This will end the same way Ruby Ridge and WACO did.

If only they were black, then everyone would have been shot already. (we would have also found they were probably a church group on an outing) Just ask Cliven, he loves talking about the "truth about the Negro"

This is what happens when no one did a damn thing when these asshats pulled guns on officers last year. When no one was expected to actually pay their taxes or charged because of their crazy stand off, it only teaches them to do it again, and bigger.

I hope they are all taken down and made to look like the terrorists they are. This is not how a civil society behaves.

Its so weird that this random blog are the only ones in the news with the REAL story. Maybe its the Liberal media all in cahoots with Obama. (imagine the most condescending sarcasm possible when you read that). If that is the real story I will see it on at least Fox News, but if they haven't even posted that, then it may be really unfactual. Although if FOX carries that story, I still don't believe that threats of violence and gun carry are necessary for a protest. Holding a gun gives the message of a threat.

Learn to not have so much confirmation bias. I am sure the blog poster had a lot when he wrote that.

Probably more like any of the "Occupy" protests.

Which flows better? "Occupy Oregon"; or "Occupy Malheur National Wildlife Refuge Headquarters"?
