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?

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.Grizalltheway wrote:Well, that was anticlimactic.

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

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).

Re: Armed Conk militia group occupies Malheur NWR offices
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..?
