Harney County Sheriff David Ward on Sunday afternoon said a group of militants that seized an eastern Oregon wildlife refuge is trying to overthrow the local and federal governments.
Ward said the Harney County Sheriff's Office is working with several organizations to protect county residents and resolve the standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters south of Burns. The group of militants seized the headquarters, which was empty, after a march and protest Saturday in Burns.
Ward said the group hopes to spark a national movement.
The group, Ward said, comprises outsiders who came to Harney County claiming to be part of militia groups supporting local ranchers. In a news release Sunday, Ward said that "in reality these men had alternative motives to attempt to over throw the county and federal government in hopes to spark a movement across the United States."
That kind of matches what others have been saying as well, and that is that these idiots do not really care about Dwight Hammond and his arson case, and are instead using this as an attempt to stage another Waco or Ruby Ridge incident and rile up the Three Percenters and Oath Keepers enough for them to start some kind of half-assed civil war.
In the mean time most people are simply poking fun at them and mocking them on Twitter:

The problem with simply laughing at these idiots is that they are idiots with guns, and as we all know too well idiots with guns usually results in dead people who did not realize how dangerous they were.
How does this not end in violence?
ReplyDeletelittle hint, they are a white people militia
DeleteExcerpt from a very well-written piece about this.
Delete"Robert McKnight, 38, who was born and raised in Burns, had parked his truck outside of the wildlife refuge headquarters. He had a dead coyote in the back, and planned to sell the pelt. When McKnight was a teenager, he said, there were jobs everywhere, and the community was thriving. But he blamed spotted owl preservation for shutting down logging. (The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declared the species endangered in 1990, requiring timber companies to preserve a portion of old-growth forest.) The people who are against the Bundys and the other occupiers all have government ties, he said.
"If it was 10 years ago, I'd be here armed and ready to go with them," McKnight said. But child protection services took his three kids, he added, and he worried he won't get to see the oldest one if he participated in the standoff."

End in violence? At this point, good, let it.
DeleteGood guys with guns versus bad guys with guns, right?
Of course, I probably define "good guys" and "bad guys" a little bit differently from how the open-carry assholes define those terms.
And good riddance to these "real men" (their own recruitment phrase.)
People are having a ball ridiculing them on Twitter. Over at Rawstory someone combined a few of the names for the best comment:
Deletepdxbohica • a day ago
Put it all together and you get:
VanillaISIS waging a YeeHawd to form a Cowliphate with help from YallQueda and Bozoharam to impose Shania Law
I was reading that they also want to take the federal land for themselves.
ReplyDeleteI saw that coming
DeleteDuh. Because failing to pay grazing rights that are far below market value isn't enough for them, they want it all for free.
DeleteThey basically want to steal our land the Federal government is holding in trust for all Americans and make it their own private land to exploit and squander as they see fit.
Domestic terrorists. Insurrectionists. Seditionists. Rebels.
It's been a couple of days, and they are already begging for snacks. What a bunch of dumbfuck assholes.

What a fucking blubbering idiot. This guy is looking for trouble, non-stop. He is itching for a fight, itching for a confrontation, any excuse to be a martyr. First he looks for trouble with Moslems in Arizona, then he travels across country to NY to start trouble, and now he's jumping into the fray with this Oregon deal. And he feigns tears and uses this as an excuse to abandon his family? He has clearly seen way too many movies and thinks he's Rambo incarnate. What a loser. What a pencil dicked, twisted, hateful, messed up, deadbeat dad, jerk.
Deleteis this dipshit independently wealthy - if not, who the hell's financing him ?!?
Deleteone thing's pretty certain, and that is he'll windup dead long before his time ...
The crybaby is trying to make it about the Hammonds when they have washed their hands of all of the VanillaISIS gun nuts.
DeleteI think one of the commenters said it best: "Dude, you invaded a BIRD SANCTUARY".
And they didn't even do it well, since now they are begging for snacks.
I think we should start a betting pool as to how long it will be before they all surrender.
Haha. These idiots seem to be jobless welfare cases trying to get the federal government to supply them with housing at a wildlife refuge.

Just saw this hysterical comment somewhere...no one is taking these "patriots" very seriously.
ReplyDelete"These patriots need some fashion sense!!! Black or brown shirts, jackboots (ok, running shoes for indoor events). A flashy hat and a sassy armband for taking things up a notch while occupying buildings or attending a Trump rally."
If this was a bunch of blacks or Hispanics, they would be called traitors, and would already be tasered and in jail.
ReplyDeleteIf it was a group of Muslims protesting how they are being treated, they would all be dead.
But since these are lily white good "Christian" terrorist illegaly protesting as an armed militia, well then by gollly, they love them some Jeebus, and they are nuttin' but good ole fashion patriots, right?
Anyone other than white men would already have been killed.
DeleteAsk the black folks in Philadelphia what would happen.. Oh, right, can't do that, the SWAT team firebombed the whole neighborhood.
DeleteMy favorite: El-Shabillybob. Saw it in a comment; sorry I can't find it to credit the commenter.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one. Yokel-Harem cracked me up too. VanillaISIS rates a mention. They are entertaining.
Delete#YallQaeda had me at hello.

DeleteI liked VanillaISIS but now I'm partial to YokelHummus.
DeleteRemember, Carson said Hummus was a terrorist organization.
These nuts don't live by the constitution. They don't live by laws.
ReplyDeleteThey live paranoid.
Welcome to the next Waco.
Not a single one of these yobs have ever read a single line of the Constitution.
DeleteWonder which one will be president when they overthrow the gov'ment?
To be fair, they have read PART of the second amendment.
DeleteYeah, we all know domestic terrorists, first they use the rest room, then make a bee line for the gift shop, you know, souvenirs for ma and to prove they were part of a movement no one showed up for.
ReplyDelete"My Dad invaded a Federal Bird Sanctuary and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."
DeleteSomeone elsewhere has pointed out that they are trying to take Indian land: lands that were deeded back to the Paiute people. I can't stand these morons. They need to be frozen,starved and thirsted out.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think at the very least their cause would be to return the Federal land to the original owners; the native americans. Most of the Federal lands in the west are Indian land.
DeleteBut no, they are trying to make it about the unfairness of the Hammonds serving the minimum for the crimes of arson they committed to COVER UP THEIR POACHING.
How freaking stupid these people are! They should all be locked up for domestic terrorism.
ReplyDeleteCordon the site. Allow no communications (cellphones, FB, etc.),no food, water, or other supplies. Allow no admittance by anyone other than government agencies. If anyone leaves, they surrender their arms and are arrested.
ReplyDeleteWait.
Apparently they didn't plan well and are asking for food:

Good. No food and no water should wake those morons up.
DeleteM from MD
They're also grifting for money. Donate button on the RogueInfidel website. And other stupid morons are giving them money!
DeleteThis can be brought to a quick and cheap conclusion with one Predator drone and two hellfire missiles just like in Iraq.
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteBetter to just ignore them, cut off their outside communications and let them freeze.
DeleteI agree with 5:47. That way we don't have to rebuild the Center. Get them to clean up their mess completely before hauling their asses off, too!

We own a house in Boundary County, Idaho. We lived there for quite a few years and have a plan to go back in the next few years. My husband's grandfather from Norway homesteaded up on Ruby Ridge and moved down to town when the old homestead burned down.
ReplyDeleteThe Government's mistake with Ruby Ridge and Waco was that they forced the issue. These men have taken over a building in the middle of nowhere. The Feds need to back off. Don't let anyone in, but let all who want to leave out. Eventually, the supplies will run out and all will have to leave.
The best thing would be for the media to leave. These kooks want attention. Let's not give them any.
At Tuby Ridge they fired on the fed first. At Crawford ( it wasn't Waco, but since President Bush had a ranch in Crawford they used the name of a town 20 miles away) the Feds had to go in because of the child sex abuse.
DeleteBut why do you expect white terrorists to be treated differently then we treat other terrorists?
bush was not the president in '93 during the Waco siege, Bill Clinton was prez at that time ..
DeleteThey've got snipers in a tower.
ReplyDeleteDrone please. Boom. Bye Bye.
THIS is what the likes of $arah and Trump have wrought and still encourage.
Naw. Starve them out. When they run out of gas for the generator, they'll freeze. And they'll be walking out because they will have siphoned all the gas from their vehicles for the generators.
DeleteDollars to donuts, all the weapons in their possession are legally owned! They are a great example of why we need tighter gun control.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Westerner and LOVE the Bureu of Land Management! I am an avid hiker and camper and have thousands and thousands of acres of federal land that I use for recreation. My state ( New Mexico) has vast areas of public land that everyone can enjoy. Ranchers want to fence off this land and water for only their use, and loggers want it to decimate the forests. Why should the American public subsidize a small group of people's antiquated life style? Times have changed.
ReplyDeleteOh Noes! This could get real ugly real fast!

These cocksuckers are more likely to blow their own balls off than to shoot one of their "enemies". Take their guns away and they are pussies one and all. Go ahead tough guys, fire the first shot just like Sarah says. C'mon tough guys. You fuckin' assholes. Did mommie not spank you when you were bad?

ReplyDeleteFrom many other stories I've read in recent years, sheriffs in rural counties tend to be extremely conservative.
ReplyDeleteIf the Harney County Sheriff says that you're only using the Hammond case as an excuse to be violent traitors, your 'movement' has pretty much lost all credibility.
Cut them off from all services, electric, water, wifi, cell phone. Block the road so nobody goes in or out. Allow no deliveries of any kind.
ReplyDeleteArrest the bunch of them when they come out TOGETHER. make them pay for all damages and loss of income from the refuge.
Cut the snake's head off so it cannot do any more harm.
ReplyDeleteThese guys are all inside trying to stay warm
so drop off boxes of whiskey and leave.
They get liquored up (Palin Style) one guy's
gun goes off and they think the Feds are
shooting. These whiskey, soaked bunch
all start shooting, and the next day, show
up with a truck and haul them to the morgue.
That room would sound like a bunch of mouse
traps going off and bodies hitting the floor. Their old man is Mormon, but those
good ole boys look like Jack Mormons to me
and Jack Mormons love their booze.
