Armed Conk militia group occupies Malheur NWR offices

[Grizalltheway]

Of course they're not the same circumstance, but their motivations are closer than you think. From what I can tell so far, Malheur is far more peaceful, not sure if that's why you think they're so different.

When I first read this, my thoughts were:

That's a really cool area with wide open spaces, abundant wildlife, some great fishing...

I'd like to go visit the Malhuer NWR someday.

Having watched cattle absolutely destroy a desert spring creek where I hike and fish and seeing the efforts of the BLM to restore riparian habitat and manage the property for all to enjoy I realize there's more to public lands than just a rancher's ability to make a buck off of it.

These Bundy types don't think the rules apply to them, break the law, threaten federal workers (who also live, hunt, and fish in the area), and are a bunch of ignorant, selfish, welfare dependent tools.

I'll bet more than a few folks who enjoy the public lands are pissed they can't access them because of this.

I wonder if Alphagriz is heading down there.

Ferguson never crossed my mind until this thread. So yeah... I guess we're different.

BTW, how are their motivations similar?

People like Hen have no concept of intrinsic value. If you can't make a quick buck off of it, it's worthless.

Well, that was anticlimactic.

They were going to report to prison all along. The Hammonds have not identified with the occupation group, and the local sheriff has claimed the outsiders are not a part of the Hammond situation and have ulterior motives.

So somebody re-cap me...
Are we still comparing unarmed protesters to armed protesters as the same thing..?

Just checking where we are

No. It is, and always has been, a comparison of unemployed protesters and employed protesters.

What's funny is you think you've actually won something here.

You do realize that one group was protesting (yes the irony) police violence, right?

You talking about the people that protested police violence (the shooting death of a criminal, for the record) by robbing stores, causing mayhem and destruction?

These Bundy jokers are just as bad but c'mon, at least they aren't destroying private party and threatening the lives of others.

I'll admit it, you've got me. I can't tell if you're trolling or just stupid.

I wish we had more truly partisan lefties on here.

I poked fun at equating the two. You replied with an unexplained 11:00 video. You later said the motivations of the same groups were similar.

Hope that helps clear your confusion.

AWWW...are you sore because you're side is doing it?

No, it just shows your bias more.

Doing what? AFAIK, I don't have a "side" on this issue. I just asked if them being armed is what made people upset (the question was actually pointed at Jelly). It's clear that's what has gotten up your arse.

Now you're pulling your own quotes out of context...

When liberal protesters tie up city streets and parks, you applaud them.

[89Hen]

Is it the fact that they're armed what you don't like? When liberal protesters tie up city streets and parks, you applaud them.

One of the above is a question. The other is a statement of fact. So only one is actually in play. C'mon Kalm.

OK

The whole thing comes down to being "armed"
If they were not armed nobody would give a flying frogs hairy ass

However I don't blame them for arming themselves - it'll keep them from getting maced
They might get shot but they won't get maced
FED's don't bring mace to a gun fight

Question:
If you're a federal officer what do you bring with you to deal with a group of armed militia men..?

Binoculars and a county map?

I was looking for: "Not Mace"

A .50 cal. machine gun would likely take less than two minutes to grease these punks, and that's using the first minute to make them dance a genuine negro jig.

Evidently they're now requesting food.
