Why are these people not picked up and arrested one by one while they are out roaming the town?

and get arrested for that (at the very least) sometimes shot and killed.

None of this adds up.

The militia has made it clear they will open fire on federal authorities even if they only show their face in the community or at the sanctuary.

These militia guys are deranged enough to die for a cause, no matter how perverse.


They brought their families with them, are benefiting from their use as human shields.


But, what's more disturbing, is the possibility that these men might want to put their families down, to prevent the women from remarrying and their children being raised by another man.


While it might sound odd to most, these people have massive control and ownership issues.

The government realizes this and hangs back, hoping that the criminals will do something so egregious that public opinion will demand that they take action.

It's a bad situation, either way, somebody is going to get hurt or killed before it's over.

Making these assholes into martyrs will almost certainly perpetrate something like that. There is already some fighting among themselves, and I think the feds are hoping they will just start taking each other out. It' just a matter of time, I think. Either that, or they'll keep doing stupid shit that will piss off more and more of their sympathizers, like destroying archaeological sites, and wasting taxpayer dollars.

So after a while, the damage to the refuge will become clear. The damage will be horrible. The leadership of so called "Right crazy Wing" will know that the time is up. But public opinion will force that change..

.I don't know when that will be, no one knows. In the end, the crazies will pay in one way or another. When the damage is exposed, then the country will know what the crazies are about. When the battle between some sanity and no sanity begins, then the exposure will harm their cause...

a comparison....an honest exposure of what happened in Flint, will hurt the corporate Republican cause.
.but...will we get it? I think so, because there are still a few totally honest parts of the media..note: I said a few.!

For example, roll a few RV's right into the midst of the compound. From these command posts they, the feds, can conduct training of their own forces such as testing their high tech comm gear and it's capacities, performing military style operations, initiating raids, etc. It's not like the militia now owns the property and anyone else would be trespassing.

Maybe they will even get a virgin or two for their efforts.

Couple of little pieces. One,this past week their was a so called Citizen Forum held at the Dixie Center in the City of St George,Utah. Topic was use of Federal Lands to enhance their community,yah right,it was about plowing a Highway through a Federal Protected Wildlife Preserve(Red Desert Tortoise Habitat and National Preserve)and the private use of some two hundred thousand acres with forty five thousand set aside for the Tortoise. Once this so called transfer occurs,the local Land and Housing People will be constructing million dollar plus homes on this Red Rock area.

Two,this so called forum was the brain child of the Washington County GOP and their friends. Some of the people that were in attendance,Jason Chaffetz,Bob Bishop,Republican Congressman both chairman of key Governmental Committees dealing with land and appropriation for the BLM and Forest Service. Other attendees were the County Commissioners from Iron and Washington Counties as well as most of the Mayors and City Council Members of the area.

This little Party was planned last fall and appears there was communication from these Politico's and several States Rights and Extremist interests. There is a convection with Bundys and a County Commissioner via family relationship. As well as a couple City Council Members.

gets their takeout order wrong?

That place is like Real World x 20. With guns. And everyone is Puck. Sit back and watch. Cliques will form. Petty grievances will fester. Blood will flow...

position. Can't he tell them to go home?

Or is he supporting them.

Unless they are Warren Jeffs' followers.

at some point soon, they have to get the place set up for the spring summer season, not to mention any wildlife concerns (breeding will be occurring).

those yahoos will have to go, they should be gone already.

no wonder rw wackos think the govt is a bunch of wimps.

looks like a duck......

Ammon Bundy has a heavy equipment service company - that he has a half million dollar FEDERAL loan on - and LaVoy Finicum stated that he mostly relied on income from the foster children he was taking in - that have been removed from his home.

According to some social media posts others get disability checks from the federal government.

These so called independent ranchers rely on handouts from government at various levels. They don't seem to be capable of making a living without someone helping them out, even if it is only the deeply discounted grazing fees that they don't want to pay and that they often don't pay.
