If this New York Times video on Ruby Ridge is any indication of what will happen in Oregon

[Quixote1818]

It sounds like we could be in for a very long, drawn-out standoff. The one important difference is that they have taken a Federal building which is quite a bit different than someone doing a standoff in their trailer in the woods which is discussed late in the video. Also, I think the people of Burns are extremely important because they want their lives back. They are the ones that need to put the pressure on Bundy.

1. Doesn't Bundy have cattle to look after?

He talks about his livelihood being eroded by fed land policies but who is taking care of his fu_king herd that he needs to help pay back that 500k he borrowed from the feds — the very entity he's leading an armed insurrection against?

And the rest of them, don't they have jobs or something?

2. I think those are his daddy's cattle. Ammon has a business servicing semitrucks, I think. nt

5. All hat and no cattle, huh?

And he's in Oregon with the cowboy hat and talking about how ranchers' are being screwed.

I thought the trucking business was a side thing and he at least had a spread next his daddy's to at least portray himself as a rancher fighting for ranchers' rights.

3. Raw Story posted a "USA Today" piece on that last week:

"Broke, unemployed and on disability: Here’s how the Oregon militants can afford to play ‘patriot’ games"

According to experts who study right-wing movements, militia members barely get by, with some living on government disability checks and the earnings of their neglected wives.

6. There are lots of gunners here who have posted in support of racist gun trafficker Randy Weaver.

Weaver was given weeks to walk out, but choose to hide behind his wife and baby. Not to mention sending his armed son out to shoot a federal agent doing his job. Time we put a stop to this crud. We could force them out if we wanted to, convict them of a felony and take their damn gunz.
