Oppressed white farmers occupy federal building in Oregon

[TuHolmes]

I still think there are alot of assumptions being made here. But from what I see, I can't agree with their occupation.

I agree. I can't find the justification in this instance.

[drkaje]

Apparently they're patriots, LOL!

[chaos]

I agree. I can't find the justification in this instance.

Well, I can take consolation in the fact that they haven't burned down or looted any businesses or shot up or beheaded anyone.

Yet.

Waco man... Waco.

Waco man... Waco.

Oh it's not going to end well for these guys I don't think. Just depends on how long the gov wants to wait them out.

[Bear232]

LOL @ folks on social media trying to find ANY way to justify these actions.

"but look at all this land the govt has taken" and "maybe the trial was a sham"

These are separate issues.   Threatening to kill people, breaking into govt buildings, blocking roads with vehicles and promising to 'take over' this state park for years while letting people frack, graze, poach, and dig in this park...

If you don't like it, vote the fckers out.  Or run for office.  Don't pick up a gun and threaten to murder Americans.  They're terrorists, sorry, but their actions are all that matter here.  The dude who was convicted doesn't even suppoert their cause.  They just want money, and he's the reason they're using.

Occupiers did the same thing.   In these cases all of these people are idiots.

So far, we must admit, the feds have been very patient with these guys.

Is this white privilege?

The privilege of getting to sit it out longer before getting shot up?

Not sure why it's so difficult for some people on getbig to understand this.

Comes down to who you think is more dangerous, considering the scope, call to arms and threats of violence etc. It seems the legal authorities don't agree. for example the DOJ found the issues of rights abuses to be real in ferguson which shut down the whole town pretty much. So the claim that the issues are in dispute is incorrect.

Additionally, I haven't seen any 150 page terrorism reports on black rights activists so perhaps the terror experts aren't up to speed on this emerging threat? 

 I did find this on right wing terror though. enjoy.

Looking forward to seeing some factual support for this position!

[Howard]

These dumbasses are just as bad as the Black Lives Matters morons.  They both are wrong on their respective issue and both share the same victim mentality when each cause has stemmed from a legal result (the correct result) they did not like.

Fuck them all.

I agree !

Why ask when everybody knows the answer?

Back guys would have been shot and we'd be past the 300th Dindu joke by now. Kwon_2 and that weird guy from Ireland would be dehydrated from masturbation, LOL!

yeah, I was all for kicking the shit out of those lazy hippies when they violated any laws.  peaceably assemble where it's allowed, but if you want to take a shit in a public park, then you should be tazed/beanbagged/maced into the next week.  I have no mercy for ANY protester that breaks the law- that's cool, but accept the consequences.

Some on Getbig and on social media try to make what these oregon people are doing okay, by saying "well, it's not as bad as..." so they can bitch about the other groups they hate.  It's entirely possible they're ALL lawbreaking a-holes who should be sharing jail cells.

[GigantorX]

So, The Bundy Militia are separate from the Hammond Family, right?

[Pray_4_War]

I can't wait to see how President cockbreath and his "justice department" handle this.

30 years ago, a black anti-government group in Philadelphia, MOVE, were bombed and burned alive for directing their weapons at police.

Tim drops a little reality on the discussion.

[TuHolmes]

The Hammonds turned themselves in today.

So now it's just Bundy's crew being pieces of shit. Time to go home, Bundy.

[USMC 1371]

Y'allQaeda is asking for trouble. They don't even have the Hammond family's support.

[TuHolmes]

The best Bundy.

[240 is Back]

Lol at any universe where these cats aren't in handcuffs already. 

It's been almost 3 days.  They're starying gofundmes for snacks.  They can't event be militant badasses correctly.

Got anything of relevance? 30 years........

Sorry dude, gotta call bullshit on that. Be realistic here. I don't agree with these guys or support their movement, but to say if they were replaced with blacks doing the same exact thing they'd be shot is wrong. Deep down you know it.

Apparently the current AG, Eric Holder did something similar at Columbia and was not only not shot, but was not charged with a crime either.

They'd be dead before we knew what the protest was about.

why is that not relevant?  Right wingers are alway bringing up Saint Ronnie.  Under the Ronald Reagan administration, a black cult made threats against the US government, and they ended up dead, even those who were trying to surrender. Under Obama, twice now, white right wing fanatics make threats against the US government, point assault weapons at federal marshals, and live to see the next day.

[chaos]

They'd be dead before we knew what the protest was about.

Yet somehow they're allowed to riot through the streets destroying businesses and cop cars again and again without being blasted? BLM gets on major freeways and stops traffic while "protesting" and none are shot or run over? Come on doc. Set race aside and look at how the 2 different groups are conducting themselves.
