Militia loons in Oregon are humiliated, and it is GLORIOUS

[IronBrig4]

This whole thread was lost in the Great Data Wipe of 2016. But the crazy militiamen are still at it despite repeated requests by local authorities and Indian tribes. Since these degenerates have six functioning brain cells between the whole bunch, they forgot a lot of necessary supplies including cigarettes and French vanilla roast. They took to the Internet and hoped to get donations. Instead, people on the Internet have mostly responded with derision and sarcasm. Now I know why people used to pay good money to poke inmates in Bedlam... it's HILARIOUS!

Just look at this militiaman respond to an invitation to eat a bag of dicks. http://www.gq.com/story/oregon-milit...ks-in-the-mail

And look at how the co-founder of Cards Against Humanity sent them a tub of lube. That was quite generous of him, really. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.2498179

I gotta wonder how much of their tantrum is motivated by patriotism versus politics? They didn't care when Bush was in office, but these crazies really came out of the woodwork as soon as Obama was elected. Now I know this is a Cracked article, but it is surprisingly well-sourced. http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-import...ever-mentions/

i heard that a couple of these Ya'll'Qaeda militants were taking up residence in a nearby motel and eating take-out food. so much for the rebel cause eh?

wasn't it particularly stupid of them to do this during January-February which is the coldest time of the year?

[Heathen Hammer]

It isn't about paranoia, it is about federal government trying to starve out farmers, who are no peacefully protesting by "illegally occupying" some abandoned building.
Its funny how American government glorifies any form of anti-government activity (be it protests, riots or full-blown acts of terrorism and violence) in countries that oppose them, yet we are supposed to believe that a bunch of farmers are "loons" or "terrorists" for not wanting to starve to death?
What a bunch of hogwash.
In any case, feds won't try anything stupid because elections are coming up and even if one hair falls of one of the farmer's head, it will be used by GOP against them.

The GOP has made it pretty clear they don't give two for these people. I'd don't think the federal government really cares at all either. This is probably the most pointless protest to ever make the news; if they didn't show up armed the Feds wouldn't even waste their time there.

[Heathen Hammer]

No they are not. Plenty of people support them. Even when you read pro-gvernment propaganda in mainstream corporate media about how evil those militias are, you can steal see comments from average folks which call BS.
People support them and more and more people hate the federal government.

Well, this link shows that at least two of them lied about their military service, and they have rap sheets. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...edentials.html

This link here shows that only a few are ranchers, while the others are just political activists hoping to latch onto a pet cause. They're not even from the area. http://www.hcn.org/articles/whos-who...-malhuer-bundy

@ B.W. - Yeah, it was this morning. The guy violated his probation too. Looks like he'll be occupying a cell at a federal corrections facility. http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-sta...rt_maj-story-1

it seems to me that most protesters, regardless of the cause, are political activists rather than people who are actually being affected.
But that's just me.

[B. W.]

I cannot recall where I read since I visited so many different sites this morning, but I think one of them was arrested after he took one of the government vehicles at the site to get something to eat.

So yeah, these folks have the equivalent IQ of the Occupy Wall Street crowd.

[snuggans]

So yeah, these folks have the equivalent IQ of the Occupy Wall Street crowd.

but occupy wall street was much better organized and it was a reaction to something tangible like the financial crisis and irresponsible speculating. it sparked off protests around the country, of course there were the opportunistic renegades who did their own thing and vandalized, there always is, but the general philosophy behind the movement made a lot more sense than the Bundy movement's philosophy, and i'm pro-capitalist and pro-globalism so it's not like i'm saving them because of my own biases.

a strong portion of the occupy wall street movement were university students and political activists, i don't have any IQ test results but if i had to bet money i would put it on the occupy wall street crowd having a higher IQ average than these Bundy conspira-tards who have to hand their list of demands to somebody else to read it to the cameras probably because their reading ain't too good.

Just because someone is going to college doesn't mean they have a high IQ nor does it mean they are politically well informed. The Occupy Wall Street movement was started by DNC operatives and funded by Soros money. Allowing oneself to be used as a political pawn is hardly what I would call intelligent.


BTW, if you're going to use a southern expression such as "ain't" you should use it in its proper context. Just so you know it is a contraction of two words: "am not", so you can see that it would not fit in correctly where you used it.

[Roma_Victrix]

So is the standoff basically over then?

And yes, I think it's pretty obvious this is largely political, judging by the numbers of militia groups during Clinton, Bush, and Obama's separate presidencies.

[Heathen Hammer]

Its better to not have any sources then have dailymail as a source. Again, US government apologists should be the last people to complain about the militias (who are not breaking anyone's rights and only commit victimless "crime"), after all the rioting mobs and de-facto terrorists that US government has been backing abroad for many decades.

And now for something completely different.

An Austin startup is doing its part to keep the armed protestors at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon energized and, well, entertained with a Bag Of Dicks.

In fact, one of the militants, already known for his anti-Islamic sentiments, featured the Austin-made product on a new Facebook post in which he rifles through some hate mail.

In a short video, Jon Ritzheimer stands in front of a countertop full of shipments, which includes a dildo, and says that the militia got an "abundance of the hate mail."

"It was really mind-blowing to me that people would actually spend their money... they spend and waste their money on all this hateful stuff to send out here to us and buy this ridiculous stuff. It's really ridiculous. This one is really funny, a Bag of Dicks," Rizheimer says, lifting a plastic Bag Of Dicks up for the camera.

Then, he clean sweeps the counter, pushing all that "hateful" stuff onto the floor.

"We're not going to be deterred," he said. "We're not going to let all your junk and hate mail sidetrack us."

Then, he encouraged more people to come and join the group.



As for the Bag Of Dicks business, the company was launched in Austin during SXSW last year, and the mention in the militia's video is basically a bag of free advertising -- grabbing thousands of eyes from the original Facebook post and all the blogs that followed. Now, the company is offering people a 25% discount when sending a Bag Of Dicks to Ritzheimer at his general mail address in Burns, Oregon.

"When the Oregon Militia posted their address asking for snacks, obviously we had to act," the company said in a blog post. "And act we did...by blasting our thousands of email subscribers with a promo code to send those 'brave souls' Bags Of Dicks."

"It's the American way to help our brothers in arms in any way we can," the Bag Of Dicks company wrote. "We're proud the Oregon Militia is enjoying our tasty Bags Of Dicks. They could certainly use the high fructose sugar rush to help keep their stronghold safe from police, bears, and elderly gift shop patrons."

Taylor Wilde, founder of a Bag Of Dicks, said that he pays attention to the news, and saw this as an opportunity.

"Initially, I thought that was pretty funny that they had all their equipment except food and drink," he told me in a short interview.

He said he first saw the Bag Of Dicks mentioned on the "Not the Onion" Reddit page, which features stories that sound like they could be satire, but aren't.

"I was like 'holy , people actually did this,'" said Wilde, who now lives in New York.

Wilde started checking his orders on shipabagofdicks.com, and he's noticed that a lot of people are sending the militia some penis-shaped gummy snacks. He prefers to talk about his product in the number of dicks -- not just the number of orders. From that perspective, the Oregon militia members can expect to get about 1,500 gummy penises.

Considering there are about 25 dicks per bag, that's roughly 60 orders. Wilde said the company gets a steady flow of orders, but saw a significant uptick over Christmas.

"I guess a lot of people were sending dicks instead of coal this year," he said.

The company got its first surge of business from April Fool's Day. But, Wilde said, the company keeps looking for opportunities to inspire people to send the gag gifts.

"We're glad to provide such a 'meaty service,'" he said.

Not sure what this guy was expecting when he put a call out to the damn internet. Results?

[War lord]

It's a victimless crime in the sense that the members of the public who are endangered by the armed loons are the armed loons themselves. But recklessly endangering yourselves and trespassing is still a crime. And we've established that this is squarely a political act that has zero to do with land disputes.

Also, Jon, I think you guys sabotaged your own recruiting campaign when you admitted you forgot to actually bring any food to your own siege and begged the internet for help.

[Condottiere 40K]

In the age of social networking, it appears ridicule, works better than a SWAT team.

It also helps that this bunch of Waco wackos desperately wanted an armed stand-off and confrontation with Federal authorities, in order to rally support for their ideology.

[Heathen Hammer]

Again, this has nothing to do with Waco standoff. In Waco it were a bunch of judeo-Christian fanatics, protest by militia in Oregon is non-violent and secular.
In any case, the good news is that this is a lose-lose situation for federal government. If militias have their way, then it will show feds weakness, and militias in other states will follow their Oregon colleague's example in resolving such conflicts. If feds attack them, it will greatly discredit them, cause potential civil unrest and guarantee GOP victory in the upcoming elections.

You do realize the ringleaders are very vocally inspired by Mormonism right? It's far from a secular protest, and it's very clear they're seeking a Waco style standoff, and they're getting increasingly desperate the more they realize that's not what's happening. When organizing a legitimate sit in, you don't bring guns, ammo and no food.

It is irrelevant what kind of religion they have in their living room. It is clear that their intentions are peaceful and the nature of protests is secular. The biggest threat so far is the federal government, since we know a lot of people in there are very unprofessional and there are also a lot of aggressive trigger-happy idiots. Hopefully, this will cause feds becoming even more popular, the more damage done to federal government the better it is for American people themselves.

Oh good lord. These terrorists (using violence for political purposes) don't give a crap about the Hammonds or about the issues that put Steve and Dwight in jail. If they did, they wouldn't be holed up hundreds of miles away grabbing all the media attention and associating the Hammond case with a bunch of anarchist loons. They're not even protesters. They're radicals who broke away from the people protesting on behalf of Steve and Dwight. They're just using the Hammonds to indulge their Red Dawn fantasies.

The ringleaders and the vast majority of occupiers are from out of state, including the Bundys and their tax-evading companions from around the Southwest, and a veritable who's who of FBI watchlist stars and anarchist "militia" whackos like Ritzheimer. And the Hammonds? They've publicly repudiated the occupiers and expressed bewilderment at how the media attention has been diverted completely away from their case by the militia nutters.
If these s actually cared about the DOJ intervening in a case to send two old men off TWICE for conducting pest control and fire control, they would be calling their Congressmen and sitting outside the jailhouse with signs and bullhorns. What they wouldn't do is hijack everything in some narcissistic attempt to start another civil war. Your comments are also clearly deluded enough to think that A) there is any significant amount of public awareness (let alone support) of what these losers are actually doing and why, and B) the US is somehow primed for civil war (over what, exactly?) with millions of angry, armed fellows just waiting for a trigger event to "follow their Oregon colleagues' example."

These morons are comparing themselves to "the Founders," wrapping themselves in the flag and the Constitution, while they clearly know nothing about either. They claim the BLM lands belong to "the people" and that the federal government has no "right" to own land. These Constitutional scholars apparently forgot about Article IV, Clause 3, the fact that the federal government originally owned all the land in the West and actually sold it off or gave it away, or that time the Founding Father himself, George Washington, raised a federal army and personally led them against a certain group of "militiamen" who took up arms because they didn't want to pay taxes.

Again, this has nothing to do with Waco standoff. In Waco it were a bunch of judeo-Christian fanatics, protest by militia in Oregon is non-violent and secular.

So a bunch of armed anarchists from out of state coming in, seizing federal property, and daring the feds to "come at me bro" are just "peaceful protesters??"

So far the main clowns are the federal government, which has been pwned by a bunch of farmers with hunting rifles. Now everybody knows you can resist the feds with a bunch of AR-15 and cowboy hats. Precedents are cool.

If these self-important ass-hats don't just quietly slink away and go home soon anyway, the feds will have no problem cleaning up whatever's left of them. The main reason the place hasn't been stormed by SWAT and ATF yet is because these gutless cowards brought along unarmed women and children to shield themselves, just as they did at the Bundy ranch. Another Waco is exactly what these anarchists want, or they wouldn't have put innocent lives in danger for the sake of their narcissistic "cause."

These armed anarchists have continually done great disservice to the very cause they claim to support. Federal mismanagement of land and the grossly harsh sentence meted out to Steve and Dwight Hammond stem from decades, even centuries of conflict between ranchers and the federal government. As the son of three generations of ranchers, I actually care about these issues. For a detailed background on the Hammond case, I recommend taking a look at what the Congressman who actually represents the Hammonds' district had to say about it:

Yeah look at these anti-government terrorists.

This small group of protesters in Oregon has been over blown by the media on both sides the issue. Turn the water and lights off cause Winter is coming and they soon will want to go back to warm Arizona.
Best to just ignore them and bill them for any damages to this "out in nowhere" wildlife refuge.
How many times you see anarchist farmers or truck drivers in Europe protest and block the highway system?
I'm surprised Putin didn't shoot the drivers in Moscow last month.
