It appears that the anti-government activists protesting the Bureau of Land Management's actions against a Nevada cattle rancher were considering using women as a human shield if a gun battle had erupted during the standoff.

The Blaze, the conservative news site affiliated with Glenn Beck, flagged the comments made Monday by Richard Mack, identified as a former Arizona sheriff who had joined more than 1,000 other protesters alongside Cliven Bundy, who has been feuding with BLM over his use of federal land to graze his cattle.

“We were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front,” Mack said in a Fox News clip pulled by The Blaze. “If they are going to start shooting, it’s going to be women that are going to be televised all across the world getting shot by these rogue federal officers.”

1. Think he is mistaken about

rogue federal officers.

[randys1]

52. Imagine if the militia men were Black

and the person being served was a Black activist

everyone would be in jail instantly

2. I accept your offer,

now start lining them up. Oh wait, you are just another blustering gun nut, running is more your style.

[Trust Buster]

3. Do you all see the irony here ?

These militia nuts were supposedly out there to defend Bundy against government tyranny. But, what could be more tyrannical than forcing women in front of them when the shooting started to serve as bullet fodder for these brave Patriots ?

[atreides1]

10. Not really ironic!

Just a bunch of cowards who are full of bluster...it's pretty standard!

[Helen Borg]

13. They probably don't consider women

as full human beings. Sad, but this strongly indicates that.

[Stargazer09]

19. That was my first thought

Women are expendable to them.

Cowardly bastards.

[kysrsoze]

22. Want to see some real f*cking idiots? Read the comments in one of the articles.

30. Here is another link...the sheriff in a 10 min audio interview

discussing the situation and the use of women in the front line:

32. Wow, you're not kidding!

Teh stupid is STRONG on that site. I had to log in and comment but left quickly lest it be catching!

[frylock]

36. herp derp spartan women..

sorry that I clicked that link.

[bitchkitty]

49. LOL @ herp derp spartan women.

You have a way with words!

[lark]

42. They are idiots!

This guy is stealing from the government, yet the government is the bad guy here? These are just crazy gun nut militia types who don't bother to get facts and just react emotionally to one of their "guys" being held accountable. Obviously they don't care about freedom or life or they wouldn't put the (unarmed?) women up front. I'm just wondering what kind of sick women they know that would do this voluntarily - or were they going to put them upfront at gun point, willing or not?

[kardonb]

43. women

the really sad thing about this is that there are women with the same 17th century mindset that would let themselves be used by these nutters .

Sometimes , I could despair that so many hateful , ignorant people are trying to tear our great country apart .

Secessions , ignoring federal laws , disrespecting the office of the President , racial and religious discrimination , disrespect and subjugation of women , and the list goes on and on and on .........

[Brigid]

4. You know what's even worse?

I suspect that some of the women may have been dumb enough to volunteer for "shield duty."

[Stargazer09]

21. I would not be surprised

They've been brainwashed from birth to believe that they are not as "good" as the menfolk.

[bowens43]

5. all of these assholes should be in jail, every last one of them.

[atreides1]

6. Is that a Mormon tactic

Using women and children as shields so the "men" have a place to hide?

[Kelvin Mace]

7. How bad is it when Glenn Beck

is busting your chops?

Or was he admiring them?

[Katashi_itto]

8. Well, obviously cattle are worth more than women in their eyes....

[DURHAM D]

9. From watching the video shown over and over again

on MSM that is exactly what they did. Don't know why they said they "thought about it" given that it exactly what happened.

[fredamae]

11. Silver Lining ;)

We can all "take heart"-Women Do have "some value" after all in the "Mysterious Minds of the
GOP"

[leftyohiolib]

12. the american taliban

[kelliekat44]

14. Just like the true cowards they are. nt

[LynnTTT]

15. Maybe the women volunteered, because

death was preferable than being married to those yahoos

[Stargazer09]

23. Ha!

You made me snort my coffee!

[Tom Ripley]

16. Some chattel is more valuable than other chattel

[allan01]

17. this isnt going to end well

just like ongress who ran up bills and now dosent want to pay for them. this guy is getting away with that as well.. i always felt that the millitias were local goons

[randr]

18. Nothing shows the world how brave and just you are

than standing behind women with your gun.
This admission alone should qualify as a reason not to own a gun.

[cantbeserious]

20. K&R

eom

[cosmicone]

24. What's the big deal?

I learned on DU from worthy debaters that

1. Those armed NRA and teabagger "protestors" in Nevada who were ready to spill the blood of federal agents doing their job were all disciples of Gandhi and Dalai Lama whilst Mr. Bundy is Buddha himself and were a model of peaceful resistance.

2. Timothy McVeigh was channeling Martin Luther King, Jr. when he blew up the Oklahoma city building -- and stupid people like me didn't see that he was simply protesting.

3. Those damned jack-booted federal agents were oblivious to how David Koresh was protesting in Waco nor did they see the civil disobedience at Ruby Ridge.

So educational ......

[Sunlei]

25. not sure but I think they are a Mormon family & so have a huge number of 'human shields'

But you know how the police and even the Federal police are..they always go after the cameras first!

[KansDem]

26. Hmmm, let's see...women, cattle...women, cattle...

That's a toughie for the Bundy Ranch terrorists!

[Paladin]

27. Chickenshit motherfuckers. No surprise, there. (nt)

[BumRushDaShow]

28. They keep wanting to instigate a Waco or Ruby Ridge

to try to taint a Democratic President.

[geardaddy]

39. This ^

[oldandhappy]

29. brave little boys with big guns

grrrrrrrrr

Tis a culture I do not understand.

[DinahMoeHum]

31. . . .big guns to replace teeny weenies. . .

[oldandhappy]

33. giggle!

[packman]

34. As the women gathered, they began to sing

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You have bad times, and he'll have good times
Doing things that you don't understand (HA,HA)

But if you love him, you'll forgive him (Even if you get shot)
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him, oh be proud of him
'Cause after all, he's just a man (Protect those cows, Clive)

Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to (AR15 and Colt 45)
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely

Stand by your man
And show the world you love him (on Fox News)
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man (Clive, you want me to go to the front lines?)

[TwilightGardener]

35. Hopefully only the menopausals. Better bullet-catchers, can't breed anymore.

Fucking chickenshits.

[kairos12]

37. They are the Talibund.

[marble falls]

38. Macho he-men. Were they wearing Depends, too?

[hue]

40. MISOGYNY MANifested! Mack's "great idea"!!

I can't/don't want to believe this happened/is happening; and not just in Nevada!!

[alfredo]

41. Conservatives are cowards.

[StarryNite]

44. Women in the crossfire...

“We were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front,” Mack said in a Fox News clip pulled by The Blaze. “If they are going to start shooting, it’s going to be women that are going to be televised all across the world getting shot by these rogue federal officers.”
"to put all the women up at the front" What? Like they were sacks of sand? At the same time they would be firing towards the feds so the women would be in the middle of the crossfire? WTF???

[StarryNite]

45. It wasn't just the women, it was the children too...

"Mr. Mack told radio host Ben Swann on Monday that he believes women should be “the first ones shot” in order to send the most effective message.

“I would have put my own wife or daughters there, and I would have been screaming bloody murder to watch them die,” he said. “I would’ve gone next, I would have been the next one to be killed. I’m not afraid to die here. I’m willing to die here.”

“But the best ploy would be to have had women at the front,” he continued. “Because, one, I don’t think they would have shot them. And, two, if they had, it would have been the worst thing that we could have shown to the rest of the world, that these ruthless cowards hired by the federal government will do anything.”

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/apr/15/former-sheriff-willing-let-wife-daughter-die-front/

What a bunch of sick fucks! He would put his wife and kids on the front line and he calls the feds cowards? What do you want to bet that he wouldn't have gone next?

[suffragette]

46. Shows what they really mean when they say "Think of the women and children"

All about using them in one way or another.

And of course, that's "daughters" specifically in terms of which children they would use as shields.

[nykym]

54. You know maybe the next time

we decide to invade another country.
We could 'Round Up' all these 'PATRIOTS'
and send them to fight the war.

[StarryNite]

55. That could get complicated...

Just think of the hassle it would be to send in "PATRIOTS" who would refuse to go unless they could take their wives and children along to use as their shields. The wives wouldn't be so bad because they've already been brainwashed, but the kids, oy! Then if the kids aren't potty trained diapers would have to be sent, and then there's the sippy cups, and teddy bears, and on and on.

[underpants]

47. Home of the "Brave"???

[Blue_Tires]

48. So even with all those guns, the Bundy crowd still had no stones?

I guarantee you their bluffs are getting called if they are ever dumb enough to force another 'standoff'

[Rocknrule]

50. Using women as human shields

Yet another thing they have in common with the Taliban

[randys1]

51. This is the American Taliban

[SirRevolutionary]

53. Hmmm sounds like a typical terrorist

mentality to me. If they're going to start shooting, we'll shock people by putting the women in front???
