lego 44,165 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 update: Oregon militants keeping women and children around at standoff despite threats to kill or be killed http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/oregon-militants-keeping-women-and-children-around-at-standoff-despite-threats-to-kill-or-be-killed/ Despite the fact that a few of the actors have carried out similar actions over land use before, they appear not to have planned this stand-off in the snowy, desolate area very well. The group have vowed to stay in the building "as long as it takes" and have said they are not afraid to kill or be killed if law enforcement tries to remove them. The internet has been quick to deride the group as 'Y'all Qaeda', pointing out their actions bear the hallmarks of domestic terrorism, although many media sources aren't calling it that this is an actual title (without quotation marks) read all http://i100.independent.co.uk/article/oregon-terrorists-dont-plan-siege-very-well-put-out-plea-for-snacks-and-supplies--ZJglh9sRjx .... But don't worry, they're white. Armed group's leader in federal building: 'We will be here as long as it takes' Armed protesters have taken over a building in a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon, accusing officials of unfairly punishing ranchers who refused to sell their land. One them is Ammon Bundy, the 40-year-old son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who is well-known for anti-government action. He spoke by phone to CNN on Sunday at 8 a.m. ET. Asked several times what he and those with him want, he answered in vague terms, saying that they want the federal government to restore the "people's constitutional rights." "This refuge -- it has been destructive to the people of the county and to the people of the area," he said. "People need to be aware that we've become a system where government is actually claiming and using and defending people's rights, and they are doing that against the people." read more http://edition.cnn.com/2016/01/03/us/oregon-wildlife-refuge-protest/index.html Story highlights "If force is used against us, we would defend ourselves," protest spokesman Ammon Bundy says Protesters are upset about the punishment of two ranchers who they say refused to sell land The ranchers were convicted of arson, sentenced to 5 years; prosecutors said they torched public land to try to cover up poaching .... Militia members occupy federal building in Oregon after protest "We're planning on staying here for years, absolutely," Ammon Bundy toldTheOregonian on Saturday. "This is not a decision we've made at the last minute." Ammon Bundy posted a video on his Facebook page asking for militia members to come help him. He said "this is not a time to stand down. It's a time to stand up and come to Harney County," where Burns, Ore., the nearest town, is located. Below the video is this statement: "ALL PATRIOTS ITS TIME TO STAND UP NOT STAND DOWN!!! WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! COME PREPARED." http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2016/01/03/militia-members-occupy-us-building-in-oregon-after-protest/78226600/ FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 109,654 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 It's ok, everyone! They're white! Nothing to fear! National Guard won't come and throw tear gas at them. The president and governor of the state most likely won't express outrage and speak out against this group. They're just practicing the second and first amendments at the same time. Lesson to learn: If I don't like a government policy I take out my guns and take a government building hostage. OH WAIT, I'm not white. I'd probably get shot down by police and told to "go back to my country" despite me being American. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a compatible comparison when Ferguson "protestors" loot stores and burn private properties to the ground that are irrelevant to what is being protested Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he does. But I'm not letting someone minimize the overall point of my post. We all know this would've been dealt differently had they not been white. Let's not fool ourselves.

Stupid could fit I was just making fun of the right's excuse when it comes to gun crimes, violence in general, unless the perps can be "linked" to ISIS or some "inner city gang lifestyle" Just now, Morphine Prince said: Yeah, he does.

Hey, white, neck beards, leather jackets, American flags, they're about as patriotic as they come. Waiting for their endorsements and praise from the likes of Trump, Cruz, Rubio, etc. Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
