Andrews_31 5,351 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 If this armed "militia" was any shade of brown and took over a government building while proclaiming that they are "prepared to die", they would have been quickly classified as violent terrorists, the building would have been stormed by Special Forces and everyone would have been eliminated with extreme prejudice (oh the irony).Yessir!!Pretty much.

Optimus_Cr1m35 4,932 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The authorities need to grow a set. Cut the power, close the roads in or out. Let them know that they have 24 hours to get their sh*t and get out. Call in every Sniper you can get your paws on. If they don't come out within 24 hours, go get them. If anyone *touches* a firearm in the general vicinity of a LEO, put a .308 round through them. Better yet, get some Apache helicopters to back you up. Nothing more intimidating...

Mr. Hoopah! 82,615 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 They definitely need to cut the power and utilities. It's cold as **** there. Not sure if it's legal/constitutional (probably not), but if so, block their cell and data signals also. I know we're all half-joking about this, but this situation is freaking insane. I don't even know what kinds of laws they're breaking, but I've got to imagine this is life in federal prison type stuff. It depresses me to think of how many people that don't necessarily support these folks, but secretly hope there is a shootout so these guys will be martyrs and/or start some revolution against the federal government.

It really isn't funny. My post was really only half joking. The authorities cannot allow these guys to walk free. Taking and illegally occupying federal property is a federal crime, worth about 20yrs. On top of that, they did break and enter. Crimes have been committed. And, because they've done it as an organized group, they only have to prove that one of them was guilty. In addition, if prosecuted, they can say bye bye to their guns. They'll be felons. Plus, since they possessed firearms during the process of their crimes, charges will reflect that.Personally, I want them to walk out peacefully and face the charges. Most likely, because of their pasty white complexions, they'll leave once they get hungry and go home... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope everyone of them walks, or at least limps out (I mean, if one or fourteen of them gets out of line and has to take the butt of an AR15 to the back of the knee, or maybe forcefully tackled, then so be it) of there are are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The federal government is overreaching for sure, but this absolutely cannot be tolerated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They would have also been dead by now if they were on a shooting spree. Instead they're holed up in an empty building in an isolated area and talking a big game while also begging for food on twitter. They're a threat but not an immediate one to anyone so why would law enforcement risk their lives by storming the building when they can just starve them out?And law enforcement wouldn't kill armed white people? Are you serious? Have you never heard of Waco or Ruby Ridge?I'm sick of these **** arguments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But paying 10% of market value isn't enough of a discount, they want to (literally) own the land themselves and use it for free.

Harry Reid, a Democrat, called the Bundy family patriarch a "domestic terrorist," the state's Republican senator Dean Heller called him and his supporters "patriots" — then denied that.

Like his dad, he is a registered Republican and has a hunting license. He has also contributed to Infowars web site run by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.In a November 2014 piece for the website, Ammon Bundy described being stopped by a TSA agent at a Phoenix airport and speculated that he was being hassled because Reid branded him "a terrorist against the people of this country, the people I love and would so willingly to give my life for."

They are not helping their cause, what ever that may be. That being said, Eric Holder himself was involved with a take over of a building in 1970 at Colombia and he was our nations highest law officer. What does this all say about our state of affairs?

Mr. Hoopah! 82,615 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Definitions of Terrorism in the U.S. Code18 U.S.C. § 2331 defines "international terrorism" and "domestic terrorism" for purposes of Chapter 113B of the Code, entitled "Terrorism”:"International terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:Involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;Appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; andOccur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S., or transcend national boundaries in terms of the means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear intended to intimidate or coerce, or the locale in which their perpetrators operate or seek asylum.*"Domestic terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:Involve acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. or kidnapping; andOccur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.18 U.S.C. § 2332b defines the term "federal crime of terrorism" as an offense that:Is calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion, or to retaliate against government conduct; andIs a violation of one of several listed statutes, including § 930© (relating to killing or attempted killing during an attack on a federal facility with a dangerous weapon); and § 1114 (relating to killing or attempted killing of officers and employees of the U.S.).* FISA defines "international terrorism" in a nearly identical way, replacing "primarily" outside the U.S. with "totally" outside the U.S. 50 U.S.C. § 1801©.https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/terrorism/terrorism-definitionPlease explain how this group does not fit the FBI's definition of domestic terrorists?

Perspective Trout is not your strong suit.They threatened to shoot any government agents that come close to the building. Do you think they're bluffing? Just big mouths who don't have any intention of using the guns they brought with them?Maybe that's the case, but again the DOJ report wasn't about lethal attacks only. It was about the increasing danger of right-wing groups, including militias like this one, and I think we're seeing that increase now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think that I've even called the militia group "terrorists". I called them "armed militia group" in the title of the thread and talked about the DOJ's report about the dangers of "right-wing domestic groups" in the post that Snake responded to. As usual, Snake is off the deep end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
