Militant deserts Malheur, now drinking away donations. In fact many are staying in motels.

[nolabear]

This thing isn't exactly what it's been cracked up to be. But Emo Militant is emo.

1. They really know how to stick to what they believe in.

[Solly Mack]

2. It's the right-wing version of the movie "Meatballs".

[Downwinder]

3. Grifters!

[Bluenorthwest]

6. High Plains Grifters actually.

[Cal Carpenter]

7. Well played :-) n/t

[2naSalit]

9. DUzy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nolabear]

23. NICE.

[Downwinder]

30. ...

[KittyWampus]

37. you win the internet today, Sir!

[Logical]

38. LOL, good one! :-) nt

[Person 2713]

69. Yep drinking with donations $$ given by " patriots"

[arcane1]

4. And we are supposed to be afraid and think these morons are dangerous?

[2naSalit]

32. What makes them dangerous

is that they have no sense but they do have gunz.

[Lordquinton]

70. What makes them dangerous is that they are acting with impunity

They have faced zeeo consequences for their actions, and no federal or state entity is making any motions to the opposite. This may fall apart, but others will witness that they succeeded in capturing and holding federal land with no reprisal and it will grow.

[fleur-de-lisa]

5. The comments on this article are hilarious . . .

"Just when you thought you were donating to Militants on Ice, you were actually buying Natural Ice, which in all reality might be more bang for your buck."

"Ritzcracker is starting to sound like Tom Cruise's character in the movie Taps."

"Didn't take long for the hillbilly element to show itself. Law enforcement has been clever. These idiots are going to end up shooting each other."

"a whiner is upset that one of his fellow do-nothings is drinking away the money they conned from the rubes to "support" the crimes perpetrated by convicted arsonists? oh, and throw a fake marine in there for good measure, and then cry about Santa. what a bunch of assclowns."

"Drunk Boy's gofundeme page is down."

"I have to rethink a few things about the Right and comedy. Who knew they could make armed insurrection so goddamned funny without meaning to?"

"They need make a comedy series out of it. It would need a good name. Unfortunately F Troop is already taken."

[7wo7rees]

8. Comedy Gold!! Oh how I wish Jon was still with us,

every nite. I understand why he quit, but damn Jon, we needed you through Nov, 2016!

[2naSalit]

10. I heard somewhere that

he signed up with HBO and will be with us again before long.

I'll have to look into that some more, was at least a month ago I heard that.

[7wo7rees]

12. True, just not soon enough!!! :)

I have been accused many times of lacking patience. Sorry.

[2naSalit]

14. In times like these

it's understandable.

[spanone]

11. and why are they not being arrested when they leave? they have broken laws.

they are certainly proving the inequality in our justice system.

[truegrit44]

20. I have been asking myself the same ?

WTF I can understand them surrounding the place and watching and waiting, but if they leave they should be arrested on a lot of charges and hauled off. You know they have done some damage to the compound and keeping the employees from coming to work there not to mention the problems with school closures etc.

This is just crazy!

[PADemD]

55. It will be easier to handcuff them when they are passed out drunk.

[GoCubsGo]

65. Good questoin.

I had assumed some sort of law enforcement had the place surrounded. Guess not...

[TorchTheWitch]

66. I thought the reason was rather obvious

They're loons with lots of guns just itching to shoot someone or a lot of someones. They also have women and children there according to the article. Better to arrest them quietly when they're alone out for a stroll or drunk on the front porch, etc. Then again, no one got arrested (or paid their taxes/fines) after the Daddy Bundy incident... which tells me that someone is seriously on the take with that family.

The article also mentions that "Booda" Cavalier, the stolen valor goon, disappeared (went out for snacks and never went back apparently) after the Daily Mail's story about him never having served in the Marines and having a long string of DUI's and theft charges. Unsurprisingly, he sleeps with his gun and booze at close hand and simultaneously (though surprisingly, it's his booze he holds most dear to his heart seeing as how he clutches his Bacardi and not his Precious while slumbering)...

[pinboy3niner]

13. Maybe the feds weren't so dumb in taking a hands-off approach after all

They let these wakadoodles make complete fools of themselves, from the final farewell vid to family to the desperate appeal for snacks to Blue Tarp Man to their head of security going on the lam after being outed as a phony wannabe combat vet to this.

And during that time they've gone through a succession of ever-changing explanations of their cause and ever-changing lists of demands and goals. From "I'm willing to lau down my life" to "I need to go home." From planning on staying for years to a much shorter plan for declaring victory and going home soon. They've even been quoted in an interview talking about surrender. They're being hoist on their own petard

Poor guys never got to be seen as a small band of heroic Patriots bravely holding off a surrounding, heavily-armed force of federal agents.

The feds may have to step in soon, though. Before these bozos hurt themselves.

[2naSalit]

16. Ithink that

it may be they will start "disappearing" as they go out to find their buddies and get captured one or two at a time. Might be the way to get them all.

[7wo7rees]

17. No, it will be slow burn.... Drift aways.....Jim went to get

Pizza, Johnny went to CVS for meds....

something nefarious going on.... Our guys leave and don't return...
Informants or ...., FEDS -- oh right... Both scenarios equal FEDS, equal enemy... ?
So confused......
Maybe because we went to see Hateful 8 on Sunday in glorious 70mm.........

[2naSalit]

18. That's my point

I think, that as they wander off for whatever, they also don't end up getting back to the refuge. Might take a week or two but they'll all get picked up sooner or later. The laws were in favor of spontaneous capture since the event tool place on private property, this is an entirely different scenario and they can be detained at any time now that they have done this.

[7wo7rees]

19. No disagreement. I just don't think they are being detained.

I hope they are, they should be... Who knows....

I just keep thinking about all the Occupy camps in parks across the country and how they were cleared out....

Just not getting it, I guess.....

[2naSalit]

25. I have many speculations

whether any are correct or whether some are tied together in some bizarre, twisted plot with tentacles, I just have yet to find evidence. But none are more outrageous than a mild musing might produce. I may be in a different state but what goes on over there is not so different from what is going on over here... in fact there's some (don't know how many) folks from around here over there in Oregon. And if you can picture what an effect this might have on certain campaigns...

[gratuitous]

21. I'd still prefer to see them arrested, tried and convicted

Imagine the flood of tears when they'd have to turn in their guns as convicted felons.

[pinboy3niner]

27. I'm convinced that's going to happen. nt

[nolabear]

26. I've begun to think that too. They may ave recognized right off how doomed this was.

And they can be arrested at any time. Right now they're not martyrs, they're turning on one another, and are doing the work themselves. And maybe showing some of the true colors of these kinds of people.

[cwydro]

44. The fake marine has gone on the lam?

I missed that! That's too funny

[pinboy3niner]

45. He drove out of Malheur and never came back, lol

It caught my attention when I saw this interesting tidbit in a Reuters story...

As the two Reuters’ reporters arrived just after nightfall, the occupiers were moving into a state of high alert. The groups’ head of security, a man known as Buddha, had been out of touch since driving off-site hours earlier. Amid efforts to locate him, the Bundys talked at length about what had brought them into this wilderness--and what it would take for them to leave.

...


Before climbing into sleeping bags, the Bundys, bodyguard Kjar and two others sat in a circle discussing the day’s lessons....

...


Buddha never returned.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-oregon-militia-refuge-insight-idUSKBN0UL0DW20160107

As he never returned that night, I looked for later news on him and found Raw Story's confirmation:

Brian “Booda” Cavalier, an Arizona tattoo artist who served as a bodyguard for the Bundys during the previous standoff, has left the nature preserve after the Daily Mail reported he had been lying about serving as a U.S. Marine in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Some of the militants also suspect Cavalier might be working as a federal informant.

https://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/trump-campaign-official-arrives-at-oregon-standoff-to-help-militants-combat-psyops/

He actually seems to have departed after he was confronted by the Daily Mail reporters about his phony combat Marine BS, but before the DM story was published. I guess he decided to get out of Dodge before it hit the press and his militia buddies saw it.

Fluffy Unicorn jackrabbited!

[cwydro]

46. Thanks for filling me in lol!

I've become fascinated by this nonsense.

It's like a train wreck.

[Gore1FL]

57. I love that they are inventing conspiracy theories against each other.

Who else among them is a government informer?
Bwahahah

[mascarax]

60. Thanks - missed Guy on the Lam too

Lot going on there!

Kinda curious what "the day's lessons" were!

[flamingdem]

74. I hope they've got him!

Is that asking too much, please please please

[Hekate]

50. Excellent thought, pinboy. All they need now is a Door Buzzard at the Bird Sanctuary....

The buzzard would probably take someone's fingers off.

[pinboy3niner]

53. Considering where Door Buzzards like to start their meals, they'd better watch their backsides

[Hekate]

54. Oh hell yes

[PADemD]

59. What is a door buzzard?

couldn't find it on Google.

[pinboy3niner]

62. Here:

You must read the whole thread, it's a DU classic!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027423760

[Nihil]

76. Thank you for making my lunchtime so hilarious!

I rarely visit GD - only came here via a link on the LBN thread about Malheur - but that
door buzzard thread was absolutely brilliant!

[jberryhill]

63. It guards against unconstitutional Amazon packages

[hifiguy]

15. The "spiritual" heirs of the Porta-Potty brigade.

Whatta bunch of maroons. Whatta ta-ra-ra-goon-de-ay.

[dmr]

40. lol, I can picture it

I have pictures somewhere.

[JHB]

22. It's an outrage!

Next thing you know, it'll turn out that "Capt. O" isn't really a captain!

Is nothing sacred anymore!








This sarcasm has been brought to you by the letter "o".

[Contrary1]

24. Oh noes! It's mutiny at Malheur...

can this get any more ridiculous?

[2naSalit]

33. Another DUzy!!

This is the fun part...

[nolabear]

28. As I've mentioned before, Malheur means "misadventure." They couldn't have chosen better.

I swear there's not enough popcorn in the world for these times.

[randys1]

29. Drinking? Made me think of the hard working Americans in Flint MI who cant drink water

because guys like these pricks at Malheur went out of their way to poison them.

When will people have enough?

[fredamae]

31. Fighting amongst themselves?

[dmr]

41. Aw, they sent J Dog to the hospital

Thanks for the link. I'm on my cell phone which makes it near impossible to cut & paste, otherwise I'd post a couple paragraphs from there. It's a fun read.

Too, too bizarre.

[pinboy3niner]

49. LOL!

Thanks for the link!

"I'm about to (expletive) your day up!" Santilli yelled as he stormed away from the outsiders' tent. "You (expletive) with the wrong person, you (expletive) crackhead!"

'Wrong Way Santilli'!

[2naSalit]

34. Heeeeyyyy, wait a minute, I thought

mormons weren't supposed to drink alcohol...

[smirkymonkey]

35. Bring on the S'mores Schnapps!

[Logical]

36. That story said some of them have walked off the reserve. Why the hell not arrested then???? nt

[Rex]

64. So far there is no indictation LEO has any intention of arresting a single one of them.

I think they are waiting for the drunken brawl/war at Dennys to breakout first. Catch them all piss drunk and broke at the motel 8.

[fredamae]

39. "I need to get home" hahahahaha

42. “I got cows that are scattered and lost.”

Wait! Wut? You mean those durn cows didn't stay put on gubmint property like they was told to?

[fredamae]

43. Lol n/t :)

[pinboy3niner]

47. And he knew damn well which cows took off on him, too

[uppityperson]

71. That's tarpman! Sans tarp.

[Rex]

48. No problem, Early is on the frontlines fighting off the Obama Marxist drone waves single handedly!

The untold story, unitl next year in Texas history.

[PatrickforO]

51. Pretty funny.

These militia people are really slick.

[Hekate]

52. This. Oh jeez it is comedy gold. Where are Jon Stewart and Doonesbury when you need them? The script

...the script for the Hollywood comedy blockbuster just writes itself.

[pinboy3niner]

56. These guys are making even the Door Buzzard look like a rocket scientist

[dembotoz]

58. they may not know about insurrection but they did stay at a holiday inn express

[pinboy3niner]

61. I'm guessing Holiday Inn Express has snacks

[valerief]

67. I guess Gawd must have told the Snack Pack to go boozing. nt

[Liberal_in_LA]

68. Why aren't they in jail?

[flamingdem]

75. Maybe the Feds are enjoying the ironies of the situation as much

as the rest of us Vanilla Isis fans?

[pinboy3niner]

73. They're crowdsourcing to raise funds for Motel 6

For now, they're staying at Motel 5.
