What exactly have they done besides piss of the local citizens, trash the refuge headquarters and get 1 guy killed? Well, they've amassed quite a cache of dildos and lube.I'm sure there is quite the buildup of santorum as a result. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazier by the moment, Jerry Baumchen "Cliven Bundy, the Nevada rancher who touched off one armed showdown with federal authorities and applauded another started in Oregon by his sons, was arrested late Wednesday at Portland International Airport and faces federal charges related to the 2014 standoff at his ranch."

PhreeZone 20 #279 February 11, 2016 It was probably the safest and least likely path to violence for his arrest. At the ranch he was always armed and around others that were also armed and had in the past indicated they were willing to harm or kill federal agents. In this case he was flying and was not allowed to fly with his sidearm so there was little resistance that could be offered at his arrest.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In this case he was flying and was not allowed to fly with his sidearm so there was little resistance that could be offered at his arrest. ^This. Big time. No confrontation, no chance of him being armed, no "posse" around him. Easy pickings. Everyone complained (legitimately IMO) about how the Koresh (Waco) & Weaver (Ruby Ridge) situations were handled. A lot of people (myself included) asked why there had to be a huge raid/confrontation. A bit of investigation, a bit of patience, a bit of restraint and a whole lot of innocent people (and a few ATF agents and Federal Marshals) wouldn't have died. Personally, I'm very happy the cops & feds are behaving the way they are in this situation. No huge raids, no big confrontations. But the miscreants are being arrested and charged. And I would guess that the damage if the FBI had attacked the idiots would be far worse than what the idiots did all by themselves (which they are likely going to be held accountable for)."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

SStewart 13 #282 February 11, 2016 These guys have to be the dumbest criminals in the world. They record their crimes and put the videos on Facebook and youtube. It's like taking your go-pro to the bank robbery and bragging about it later. The old man announced on Facebook he was going to Oregon. What did he think was going to happen? I thought they might try to pick him up when he went to the funeral in Utah but he was traveling with his "posse" and they did not want another highway confrontation. He flew to PDX thinking he was still above the law. These idiots still have no idea how much trouble they are in.Onward and Upward! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SStewart 13 #286 February 11, 2016 This letter from old man Bundy is really all they need to convict him for conspiracy in the Malhuer standoff. In addition to the charges from the previous standoff at Bunkerville. A common trait with these militia types is this unfounded belief that a notary has some sort of special power. In this case the letter to the Sheriff, the Governor, and the President being notarized only proves that he signed it with witnesses. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/cliven-bundy-calls-oregon-refuge-occupation-continue-article-1.2517584Onward and Upward!

ryoder 1,590 #292 February 12, 2016 On NPR this morning they are running a story I have not found online, about the FBI strategy. A really interesting part is a rumor about Mark McConnell. He was the guy driving the second vehicle when Lavoy Finicum was shot, and made the video afterward, contradicting parts of the militia's narrative. The rumor is that he was an FBI mole, and can no longer be found."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

The rumor is that he was an FBI mole, and can no longer be found. It will then turn out that he's not actually working for the FBI, but for an FBI-like organization that TELLS all its members they are in the FBI but are actually working against the US government. They want the rebellion to succeed, see, but Finicum was such an embarrassment that they had to take him out. And this guy had to do it because the US government has his sister, although she's a mole for the rebellion as well, and is feeding them information . . . Or was that an episode of Alias?

I think his reuest should be standard.. If the state or Feds are bringing charges against you, I would think they are the ones with the deep pockets. If I was charged now I would not be granted a public defender, but I also would not be able to afford a lawyer for anything more then a simple one or two apperance case. And that would be pushing it.

That's some kinda logic you got going on there and I don't mean that in a good way. Bundy and his clan don't trust the government and thinks they're incompetent; except you're saying he should trust the government to competently defend him in a case in which he's clearly 100% guilty. Bundy is going to go to jail on this regardless of who defends him. He's going to lose his farm and whatever fortune he may have amassed over the years. On those grounds, perhaps he can claim he can not afford an attorney, but he could only make that claim in the future, not before he's actually found guilty.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if the government accused you of something you claimed you didn't do - you would really want the government representing you as well? Odd. "Your honor, my client is clearly guilty on all counts."
