unfortunate that they used this to charge them:

iirc there are plenty of other crimes that would apply instead of this thought crime nonsense

"You have an obligation to proceed to the Harney County Resource Center (the wildlife refuge) immediately," Hunt wrote. "If you fail to arrive, you will demonstrate by your own actions that your previous statements to defend life, liberty, and property were false."
o shit they've proclaimed a caliphate

I was thinking about ridiculous moves that could be done to make this someone else's problem, and inspired by these assholes desecrating ground and rifling through native american artifacts... just give that part of the refuge to the local tribal council government
then turn a blind eye to whatever might happen!
there's no way anyone wants these idiots to be their responsibility to deal with, though

These arrests are not the last step in the Malheur wildlife refuge situation. Now we'll get all the out-of-state crazies jumping in their pickup trucks and heading for Oregon with their arsenals of weapons and ammo, looking for a rumble. My heart goes out to the good people of Harney county who've been enduring this shitstorm of imported stupidity. It will probably get worse before it gets better.

uh, is anyone watching this live feed from inside the standoff? http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/watch-live-feed-from-inside-the-standoff-at-oregon-wildlife-refuge
i'm listening to it one ear as i work and it's fascinating. some of them appear to be recording their final statements for their family.
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 18:54 (eight years ago) link
then you have little snippets of conversation like "we came, we were peaceful....and now we're gonna fuck shit up", followed by some old guy going "yes sir"
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 18:55 (eight years ago) link
they're discussing when they should go to the bathroom. one guy just said he's been known to shit himself
i bet all of this is actually very similar to off the record founding father conversations

we came we were peaceful and now i'm gonna shit myself
I skipped around in that. Sounded like one guy was recording a statement for his family. Heard a little bit of a discussion about how geese don't know which way to fly because the government's so screwed up. Then I found a little discussion about who was going to go poop and then relieve some other guys who had to go poop. xp lol
― how's life, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 18:59 (eight years ago) link
they just started talking about who is pooping again. also some guy is complaining that he can't believe his sister is there, given how much she complains about the world
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 19:00 (eight years ago) link
they're holding out hope that some militia will come and reinforce them in time for...something. but they don't know how far away the militia is

(this is around 19:40)
"how well do you think they can hear us from here?", says one of the guys who likes to talk about poop, about 10 feet from the camera, clearly audible.tech guy: "not too good"

Now these addled cowboys will feel justified in totally trashing the refuge HQ because that's what you do in a war, you grab and smash and shoot whoever you want. I would love to see them all captured alive, then sentenced to 300 years apiece in federal prison, where they can stew in their own pseudo-constitutional juice.

my buddy is a cameraman for a news channel and he was up there, he told me there was an Inf0Wars guy there who was telling all the other media guys they were sheep or whatever, couldn't be trusted to be neutral, then would stand BEHIND the bundy crew at the podium nodding along with everything they said, arms folded.

friend on FB points out:

Dude is calling a buddy trying to arrange for his dogs to be removed. Turns out the guy he's calling was there when they shot the one guy. Asks him why he's not out there shooting them sunsabitches.
Oh my god these people are dumb.

I just listened to that too. He also believes that militia from around the world are on the way.

Did the guy bring his dogs to the standoff, or is he just setting up passing them on should he get capped while rushing a state patroller?
― Darkest Cosmologist junk (kingfish), Wednesday, 27 January 2016 19:44 (eight years ago) link
He brought them. He was asking his friend "do you think you could meet me at the front gate" or something and from his responses you can tell his buddy was like "there is no way I can do that".

i'm kind of loving this livestream. right now it's just a shot of the landscape with ominous helicopter noises, people mumbling about stuff in the near distance. they're talking about coffee. amazing.

it was tough to tell, but it looked like the handlebar of an ATV. or maybe i just really want him to ride around the area, livestreamin'

That's what it looked like he was about to do. Stream is currently stopped, maybe affixing camera to the handlebars?
