Still No Consequences For Oregon Terrorists: How Are They Still There?

[GoLeft TV]

At the start of the year, an armed right wing militia group took over a federal building in Oregon, inspiring an uprising of anti-government groups to come join this armed insurrection. The government has been slow to react, and the media is treating the story as if it barely exists.

Ring of Fire’s Sam Seder and Farron Cousins discuss this.

1. How are they still there?

Because, no one wants another Waco and they think they can wait them out. I think most people see these guys as a joke and are losing interest.

2. Yep, a joke...

... let it play out. I recall the, "Goofsville Gazette", parody newspaper from my 7th grade English teacher's bulletin board. Headline was, "Crowd Gathers to Watch Baker's Assistant Turn into Fruitcake".

3. O.K. Clarification time....

These fools are NOT Oregonians!!! They are from the Southwest!!!
They are ESPECIALLY unwelcome trespassers with an unwelcome message.
Get them the hell out of here!
Also, why not turn the Malheur Reserve BACK to the ownership/stewardship of the tribes?!
They can run the refuge just as well or better than the feds and the goodwill would be priceless.

7. Ironically, now Oregonians know what it's like to be Muslims, when people talk about

...when people talk about 'Muslim terrorists.' The "Oregon Terrorists" are a bunch of malicious, moronic assholes who just happen to be in Oregon. Just as the 'Islamic terrorists' are a bunch of malicious, moronic assholes who just happen to be Muslims.
