These armed-to-the-teeth Bundy Terrorists are:
1) breaking the law with impunity in broad daylight, at the point of a gun,

2) using the Malheur sanctuary (a Native American sacred site with many artifacts at risk) as
a National TV platform to spew their arrogant & hateful anti-Federal Gov't nonsense into our
living rooms every night. Just today, I read they have deliberately bulldozed an area known
to contain NA relics.

3) "putting out the word" to like-minded armed lunatics with cell phones and Gov't computers,
to "join them" in seizing Federal land at the point of a gun, and/or for other ranchers to refuse
to pay their grazing fees and tear up their contracts with the BLM,

4) coming & going freely at-will to stockpile more food, water, guns, ammunition and lord know
what else, thus insuring that the "standoff" will continue indefinitely. and now children too.

5) traveling into nearby town of Burns to terrorize local residents while armed-to-the-teeth.

All while the FBI simply watches on.

of giving them enough rope they'll hang themselves is in play here. Anyone and everyone can see that we can't let this continue as it is because it only emboldens those of like mind. All good things must come to an end.
One thing I like about our President is he sees the big picture and he is no fool. I trust that the right thing will come of this.

...human shields?

was justified because of child abuse. These asses want something to happen.

They should have blockaded those oafs weeks ago, stopped all supplies from getting in. Freezing their asses off while going cold turkey off tobacco would have reduced their numbers and they'd never have been able to get their children to act as human shields.

This has been bungled from the beginning.

supply runs, visitors, a warehouse on the docks, press conferences, up to 400 guests at a time. This is not even the end of month one and you are ready to do what Nixon did not do. Alcatraz is an island so all coming and going was by boat. Easy to see, easy to stop and yet not stopped. For a year and a half. Was that also a bungle?

and I hope it's sooner rather than later.
Like who actually cares if they want to hole up in a cold welcome center, but what about the precedent being set and the intimidation of the localls?

But maybe happy he's gone. As for his kids, I'll betcha Bundy made the decision to bring these children into harm's way...sorta like the Sunni insurgents did in Iraq. What would have happened to her if she said "no" to her armed, Taliban-wannabe husband?

And the authorities let them get away with it by not blocking off the exits and entrances.

Now the eventual bloodshed will be that much worse. They're gaining nothing at all by simply letting this fester indefinitely.

daughters for his insane beliefs. He would willingly use them as shields. The children need saved and he should be arrested for child abuse.
