Militia types now describing a probable cause felony stop as an "ambush"

[yellowcanine]

"It was like they were stalking prey," said Joseph Rice, a member of Pacific Patriots Network, a coalition of patriot groups from around the Northwest.

"Here in America if you put your arms down or give the appearance of putting your arms down, they think that makes it OK for them to shoot you," Rice said. "I don't know what you would call that other than an ambush. I would call that a militarized state."

Hey dipshit. An ambush is when armed individuals open up on you as you are walking or driving along.

A probable cause felony stop is not an ambush.

Shooting someone who is reaching to get a gun out of their pocket is not an ambush.

Finicum was shot by an Oregon State Trooper, which, last time I looked, is not a member of any military.

You militia types just wish that Finicum had been shot by a National Guard member or by the FBI so that you would have one more thing to whip up your low information followers about but hey - you don't always get what you want. But I am sure you will find a way to edit videos etc. to make what actually happened fit your video game narrative, so all is not lost. Chin up, dude.

1. Unfortunately, the low information peeps will believe him...

they don't pay much attention to anything that might counter their world view.

12. Speaking of world views, it had occurred to me that,

if references to the authorities were replaced with "Hillary," that could be a post on the GD-P forum.

Oh, my people! Bless their hearts...

2. Joe's also upset Jason Patrick was arrested

Jason, you may recall, is the heroic roofer from Georgia who stepped forward to lead the remainder of the group after the Bundy brothers were arrested

I expect hundreds of thousands of patriots, outraged by Jason's arrest, are converging on Oregon today from around the country

3. Your expectations are not going to be met, that's an absurd notion.

6. Of course it's absurd.

4. Yeah? So what?

5. White privilege has its ...er... privileges.

Can't believe that with the known aggression they displayed, that they expected to be treated like Citizen Milquetoast.

7. the miitia morons are doing their darnest to try and make martyrs from these morons.

I bet a perusal of "prison planet" will give you all the conspiracy bullshit needed to keep you filled with stupidity.

8. A felony stop absolutely is an ambush. So what?

An ambush is when someone has a plan to get the drop on you and executes that plan successfully.

You been ambushed, fuckers.

Remember, this was your game.

Don't be mad that the cops were better at your game than you were.

9. If they had not been tweeting and facebooking all over the place about their plans

they might have not set themselves up for a federal take down. I think when this clown said "ambush" he actually meant the shooting of Finicum. The guy ran away from a felony stop and ran into a road block, jumped out and got shot. If it is an ambush, Finicum effectively ambushed himself. Did he really think the Feds were not going to prepare for the possibility that someone would try to elude the felony stop? Give these guys some credit for cleverness maybe but smart? No. At least not in a street smart tactical way. Calling these guys militia is an insult to real militias.

10. And look at all the militias doing something about it!

Oh wait - they all went home. Lol

[Glassunion]

11. Militarized: v. to give a military character to

I would actually agree with them that our police are becoming militarized.

I disagree with them on pretty much everything else.

13. The same folks who were heavy donors

to Zimmerman's defense fund, no doubt..

[Aerows]

14. Damn near running over an Oregon State Trooper

as you are trying to charge the roadblock isn't an ambush either.

In the video, it looks like Finicum missed that trooper by a hair!
