Not.

The Oregon Army National Guard, who has law enforcement authority over civilians because it's not a federal force, owns a cavalry squadron equipped with M-1A2 Abrams tanks.

Most Americans believe that the Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the use of federal troops to
enforce the law in the United States. They also believe that the President has to wait until a governor
asks for help before he can send federal troops to help and even only to quell an insurrection. These
beliefs are erroneous. They are based on complete misunderstanding of the two major laws that pertain
to this issue. This is important, for understanding the true status of the laws and authorities is essential
if we are to provide for the security of the homeland in an age of terrorism and catastrophic natural
disasters.

In this article, I will address both the Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act, using
different approaches to help you understand what each really means. I will parse the Posse Comitatus
Act to allow you to understand what it really means. I will tell the story of the Insurrection Act to allow
you to understand how it came to be enacted.

seriously in this day and age cant we create a bot to roll in with nets or arms or something and just nab em with no loss of life on our side?

They just set up yuuuuge speakers and blare the theme song from Barney at them 24x7?

I know, cruel and inhuman.... but these aren't humans, or even animals. PETA wouldn't even care.

they're scared of that inevitability.

I dunno what they thought the outcome of this was going to be. civil disobedience comes with the possibility of jail time.

and they will get sympathy

and they aren't going to get it.

cut the power and water and wait.

I don't know how they heat the building, but without power, the plumbing pipes could freeze and burst. there are artifacts in there that might need climate control as well. the power keeps the building maintained.

starving them out is a rational compromise, but it takes time.

cut the feed. That would probably blackout a quarter of the County.

them out of our misery. They are the ultimate shitheads.

here until the Oregon State Patrol finishes their investigation as well as the County Sheriffs Investigation related to Finicum. If they really want the four clowns left,one swat team and it is over. Noticed they had cell service for a period of time,hello can you hear me now,yes,this is your friendly FBI service center.

isolated
freezing ass cold
no communications
no food expense

tick, tick. tick

Suspect the guy with "anger issues" is self-medicating, and will probably need to leave after he runs out. They'll hold out until it becomes too uncomfortable for them, or until one of them cuts/shoots the others.
They're all too emotionally high strung, and are a danger to themselves and others as there doesn't seem to be a lot of thinking (no matter how whack, as the kids say) going on any more, just reacting.

Maybe there's a 'syndrome' named for fools like them. They are not seeing the real world out there. Or something.

Just more bravado.

That should do it.

I remember reading about the necessary work the staff at the park would normally be doing to help the bird migration process as well as other maintenance and ecological work that's not getting done because of this unlawful armed takeover. And we're still paying the park staff even though they are prohibited from working. Ridiculous really and a complete waste of tax dollars.
