Oregon domestic terrorists now destroying public property in earnest

"The terrorists have paved a new road through the refuge, over territory that is considered archaeologically significant; the reserve itself encompasses many Paiute burial sites that the band holds sacred."

24 hours to surrender. Then at 24 hrs and one second, tear gas, followed by the necessary force to remove them and haul them off to jail.

Something really has to change.

These guys think they're in charge, and to all intents and purposes, they are.

You know, cut the power and put up roadblocks. I guess they don't do that to white repuke gun humpers...what a mistake imo.

8. Sorry didn't mean to bark at you, I feel your frustration.

Cops are great at breaking up illegal activity, great at it...so this is getting a little strange imo. I HATE it that these pretend warriors think they are in charge!

Cut their phones, water and power and watch them come groveling for food in a week imo.

We're in agreement here. Completely.

I don't understand why they've not turned off the power. And yes, cut off all incoming and outgoing traffic.

11. Me either, there are so many non-violent things LEO can do to make these weekend warriors

lives miserable. All my CT mind can come up with is there is a larger picture here, one we don't fully know about.

I don't get it. Sigh, I guess we just have to wait and see.

Wait, watch and see what happens. At least we have DU to come to and talk about this, it is not even on the radar anymore as far as mainstream media goes.

I'm glad, on the one hand, that they're not getting any publicity, but damn.

It's like a non-story.

10. At a minimum

Cut off access. No one in. No one out unless they surrender. Call a Grand Jury and get some damn indictments so when they mosey out you can slap the cuffs on them. No more food in either. Nothing.

If they get violent, then dial it up at that point.

14. You are former LEO...don't you find this strange.

At least cut their power and water! I don't think allowing the dangerous moron's time to build up more resistance groups around the country is a good idea.

my only guess is that somebody in power is deathly afraid of another Waco/Ruby Ridge. But somethings got to be done, this is total bullshit. They are just going to get bolder and more out of control.
