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.

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
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 19:01 (eight years ago) link
sounds like a gas

"we left a video with him as to what we want done with our remains."
― how's life, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 19:04 (eight years ago) link
(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"
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 19:05 (eight years ago) link
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:
"Tell me you didn't livestream that" says voice just off camera after ten minutes of hearing him discuss how to respond to law enforcement and how they need to set up their defensive parameter.

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.

Now imagine the people in those gifs, but with loaded semi-automatic weapons!

One of the guys appears to have a text message alert that sounds like a silencer.

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

every time i think about these guys with weapons i think about White Boy Bob in 'Out of Sight'
― nomar, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 19:44 (eight years ago) link
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.

omg
is this livestream dumbass guy about to take a ride on a ATV? anyone else see that?
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 19:55 (eight years ago) link
Did they bring their own four wheelers for fun or are they still jacking state vehicles?
― Darkest Cosmologist junk (kingfish), Wednesday, 27 January 2016 19:56 (eight years ago) link
good q, I'd bet the latter
― the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Wednesday, 27 January 2016 19:57 (eight years ago) link
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'
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 27 January 2016 19:58 (eight years ago) link
That's what it looked like he was about to do. Stream is currently stopped, maybe affixing camera to the handlebars?

Very OTM. A combination of that and Homer from the Simpsons gun episode. Using their guns to scratch their backs and crack nuts and such.

i hate these guys but i'm veeerry skeptical of the FBI and/or state police killing someone and not saying much about it
from the Times:
The F.B.I. and the Oregon State Police said that Mr. Bundy, his brother and three other people, including Shawna Cox, 59, of Kanab, Utah, and Ryan Waylen Payne, 32, of Anaconda, Mont., were arrested on a state highway, but they provided no further details. Ms. Cox and Mr. Payne were prominent in speaking for the refuge. Also arrested on the highway was Brian Cavalier, 44, of Bunkerville, Nev.
The authorities said only that shots were fired during the course of the arrest. Two other people: Peter Santilli, 50, of Cincinnati, and Joseph Donald O’Shaughnessy, 45, of Cottonwood, Ariz., were arrested later in Burns, and John Eric Ritzheimer, 32, turned himself in to the police in Peoria, Ariz., the authorities said. All of the defendants face a federal felony charge of conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation or threats.

The expressions people chose to make during mug shots are v interesting. Most are going for the tough guy who eats glass for breakfast look. Ammon (top left) wants to convey above-it-all amusement. For me the best is Ryan Payne (bottom right), who's the main strategist and brains of the operation, who aims for an expressionless face but his dismay slips through the neutrality. He knows.
