It's NOT looking good... Spoke with friends who live in Burns last night and now they have brought in 2 military tanks and set up Army tents out at the airport, the hospital is getting ready for triage and they have ordered more plasma. Today, Bundy AGAIN will talk with the Feds but he still stands firm on his delusional plans....

Most of me hopes you're joking...
Why the f*#k did the power never get cut and the roads blocked? That's ridiculous.

Anyone consider the idea that the Feds are encouraging this 'takeover'?
Fed land control is being turned over to the states, which the states will use to frack, graze and generally fuk up.
Maybe Oregon pissed off the feds with the legalization of a certain plant?
in any case, cue Walking Dead music, for the anarchy that will only increase as time goes by...

This seems a bit hysterical. Bundy is literally driving 30 miles from the Preserve to negotiate with the FBI. If those structures exist it's because the FBI has set up their HQ at the airport and they are following standard protocol. They'd be pretty stupid not to order up blood products during negotiations with armed hostiles.

Bundy brought the conversation to a close, saying he had other meetings and tasks to attend. A group of New Mexico state legislators was expected at the refuge, he said.
The negotiator asked how they could stay in touch, whether he could use a landline at the refuge to reach Bundy. Bundy demurred, saying the occupiers weren't using refuge phones.
"We want to work together with you," the negotiator said.
The two agreed to connect again in 24 hours.
With that, the negotiator hung up, Bundy handed the borrowed cellphone to an FBI agent and headed to a pickup truck for the 30-mile drive back to the refuge.

That seems like a bit of overkill.

So much so that you'd think it might be apocryphal.

I do not think the FBI has referred to this as negotiations. The FBI talked to the guy on the phone because the FBI folks on site are going to remain anonymous, quiet and polite worker bees, they will not engage Bundy or his sidekicks, it is simple psychology. Protocol for defusing standoffs is keep communications open. Time is on the FBIs side. The public's attention span is very short, we want results in a 24 hour news cycle. That is not going to happen

Right Escopedia, the Bundys have been come and gone freely. The FBI could easily nab them. Unlike waco.
But I"m glad tanks fit well into your world view...pffft

If I was preparing to take these guys on if I had to, I would provide all the protection I could to my men. Don't know about tanks, these are probably armored vehicles like the cops have now.

Are we taking bets? What's the over/under on tank usage?

Which is chicken- sh#t way of saying "No Bet"?
EDIT: I don't blame you, I wouldn't cover your side of the bet either.

And just why are New Mexican legislators going to Malheur?
They don't have their own fish to fry?
