Didn't we off a bunch of natives who were on "our" land? I wonder if there's a connection.

parents money. Bottom left - everyone can spot the "welfare cadillac" owners just looking to start looting the stores.
Bottom right - good old large acreage property owner, hard working white cattleman.

Need I put this in here?

Exactly - and that is what it would be, moving in with force on these lunatics would inspire many more just like them. Oh how they would cry into their patriotic beer mugs, "They were such great heroes! They were saving America! Making it great again by... uhm..."

Then we'd have a bigger group of redneck idiots with guns occupying something else, only, this time, maybe a school, or a hospital, or a mall.

Some problems have no simple solutions. These people get taken out by the government forces, then what becomes of their children, their friends, their sympathizers? Nope... first agent of the government that starts shooting could very well create an incident that would be even worse than Ruby Ridge or Waco. This is why they haven't taken these measures yet.

Much better if we let their insignificance be shown on a National and international level, let them occupy the refuge until they run out of food and water. Eventually, they will get bored and go home. Fighting for a cause is one thing - starving for it is quite another - and these guys are not Gandhi.

Wishing for those Al Shabubba idiots to be kicked out of Oregon. Getting this done yesterday would suit me fine.

Freeze their asses out and get it over with. Did I see or hear that some have gone to work and then went back?

Why can't they arrest the ones that are staying in and getting drunk in motels?

On another note...

Does the sheriff in the Occupy Oregon look like Larry The Cable Guy?

but that means only when they apply to non-white people. No wonder the Repuke party is putrid.
