We're doomed! The bird sanctuary is lost!!

Clearly the U.S. Government should surrender immediately so as not to earn the disdain of the occupying patriots.

Both are Mormons, but blue tarp guy, LaVoy Finicum, is from Arizona and "Captain Moroni" is from Utah.

one more count of making terroristic threats.

The longer the Feds let this play out, the higher the stack of federal charges with mandatory minimum sentences to run consecutively.

Basically a drama queen.


Garbled nonsensical "explanation" as to why they are there:

He took the name of Captain Moroni, a military leader and hero in the Book of Mormon (not to be confused with Angel Moroni, a different figure in Mormon teachings).

Is Captain Moroni the same guy as Blue Tarp Guy?

Why, when they can just isolate them and wait them out? That's what Sheriff Ward was looking to do...but I'm beginning to think we've got some Rambos in the federal contingent.

I'm NOT for the destruction of any wildlife refuge. They can cut power, set up parimeter, don't allow anything in or out. The yall'queda, or teahadists, will not last long.

These yahoos don't seem to be nearly as well prepared as it first seemed. No way they last out the winter there, once they've been isolated and blockaded.

You can google on him. He's Cliven Bundy's neighbor. He's written a book. He tweets. He's comedy gold.
