Idaho Militia Members join Occupation of Malheur

[cali]

Members of a group from outside Oregon arrived on Friday at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge to "secure a perimeter" around the compound and prevent "a Waco-style situation."

The arrival of the "3% of Idaho" was the latest development in the situation outside Burns, where an armed occupation of the refuge by an Ammon Bundy-led militant group entered its seventh day.

"They just keep an eye on everything that is going on" to make sure "nothing stupid happens," Bundy said Friday afternoon outside refuge headquarters.

"If they weren't here," Bundy said, referring to the Idaho group, "I'd worry" about a Waco-style siege by federal officials.

The group's website says it stands for "freedom, liberty and the Constitution. We will combat all those who are corrupt." The website displays the motto, "When Tyranny Becomes Law, Rebellion Becomes Duty!"

1. that was totally predictible

The federal agent who is in charge (if there is one) is a bumbling idiot.
All they had to do from the get go was to secure the perimeter, cut power and pick them up as they come out.

Instead, they allowed them to resupply, give interviews, go hang out in town, etc.. Now, of course more RW nuts are going to come seeing that they are "winning".

2. It sure was. Law enforcement has totally fucked up.

3. I think the administration is waiting for FOX and all friends (candidates) to demand action.

4. This is just complete incompetence on the part of the Feds.

Bring in troops now.

5. It's bad. What the fuck are they thinking?

[emulatorloo]

6. These guys are fantasizing about suicide by cop and killing Feds. And they've got kids with them

Not surprised Feds aren't rushing in and are working through Sherriff Ward for the time being. Give it a few more days, we'll see what happens.

[cali]

7. Sorry, that doesn't cut it. They are now enabling them

[emulatorloo]

10. So far, enabling them to make fools out of themselves.

That being said, I see the Oregon Governor is sharpening her rhetoric against the Bundy gang.

[cali]

11. No. They've been empowered by being coddled

The feds should have blocked access and egress days ago. The occupiers have been stockpiling weapons and supplies over the past few days as well as meeting with other militias.

21. Bring in skunks. If they don't like it, they can herd them. But, you know they won't shoot them.

8. nothing stupid?

"They just keep an eye on everything that is going on" to make sure "nothing stupid happens," Bundy said

That ship has sailed................
