As many of you know many of the Nevada ranchers like to gut shoot donkeys and wild horses and let wander off and die. Then maybe the feds should do that for us and kill those losers.I for one would love it.

Unfortunately for David Fry, he failed to land the triple Bundy to a Finicum finish. So close to his goal of "Liberty or Death", and now so far far away.

sorry for the bump but...
I'm so glad the illegal takeover of Malheur is over, also glad all the Bundy's are going to be occupying federal prison property....
I hope they get the maximum and have to pay the taxpayers for damages and operation costs.
ps..That is a donut from a Portland bakery.

In Burns, the town closest to the refuge, people raised American flags up and down the main street to celebrate the occupation’s end. “This is better than the Fourth of July,” said Bekka Riess, 15, beaming as she put flags up. “Maybe now we can finally get our town back.”

It strikes me as a bit tasteless to be reveling in 'victory' over a handful of intellectually challenged
malcontents. And in the 40 odd days you were frothing over this well over 100 Americans
have died from gang violence, including a one year old here the other day. This 'gang' was
pretty weak in comparison.

Reilly, its OK, those gang bangers just don't have the same access to the political system as the rest of us and the Malheur malcontents.....

This was direct insurrection against the authority of the federal government and an open attempt to illegally take public property. If you can't understand why that's qualitatively different than most gang violence, I can't help you.

Spiny posted The occupiers' attorney, Michael Arnold, is a real winner:
Many times lawyers are forced to do time as a public defender as community service.

Sorry Reilly, I generally try to stay away from being tasteless. Nor do I want to piss you off, someone who I generally agree with.
But this bunch and their particularly brazen moves and sense of righteous entitlement over the constitution and federal land really deserved some humble pie.
Especially Sean Anderson and his "KILL THEM" video, I just haven't let go of yet.

Spiny, four morans eating Doritos in a bird sanctuary doth not make an insurrection.
Those morans deserve yer pity, not me.
As intoned in La Marseillaise:
Spare those sorry victims,
Who arm against us with regret

The schadenfreude for me is more in the out and out hypocrisy by so many Americans. Two days ago my Facebook feed was filled with outrage about Beyonce's tribute to the Black Panthers. Now the same people are pledging support for these knuckleheads. How people can pretend the divide is not mostly racial is beyond me.

That's what you cherry picked from the French anthem?
The last stanza of the Marselaisse:
"Drive on sacred patriotism
Support our avenging arms
Liberty, cherished liberty
Join the struggle with your defenders
Under our flags, let victory
Hurry to your manly tone
So that in death your enemies
See your triumph and our glory!"
That poem demands triumph for the defenders of Liberty and death to the enemies.

If that were all that had happened, you'd be right. But that's not all that's in the indictments dropped so far on least fifteen — not four — people. With more likely to follow.

No Lorenzo, it isn't. The dopes at Malheur succeeded at riling up the Ron Anderson types, who are even madder as Hell now and really truly aren't going to take anymore. Expect more Malheurs.

Let's consider Ryan Payne's comments on the Bundy Ranch standoff:
"We locked them down," Payne says. "We had counter-sniper positions on their sniper positions. We had at least one guy—sometimes two guys—per BLM agent in there. So, it was a complete tactical superiority. ... If they made one wrong move, every single BLM agent in that camp would've died."
Just as one example. These men had declared themselves ready and willing to murder federal and state LE officers during the commission of crimes.

Reilly, there is a movement to take over public lands.. The Bundy's are a small part of the movement and i am glad they were exposed for what they are..>. Armed angry white privilege thugs.
I quoted the Backcountry hunters & anglers on the prior page, here is the last line of the quote.
"Now is the time to turn our attention to the Bundys' allies: the politicians, backroom funders and other radicals who would divest citizens of our public lands heritage and take what is rightfully ours. Sportsmen must take a strong stand on behalf of our American birthright."

Nita, I get that but Shakespeare wrote a play about it. Meanwhile the gangs of America have
had large swaths of this country under their control for decades but what is being done about
that? One guy committed suicide by cop there yet dozens die daily from gang warfare. I'm
asking for some perspective.
