However, they are now harming their cause rather than furthering it.

Precisely. While they have the attention of people and have brought the issues of BLM overreach and intimidation into the fore, from here it will be all about the standoff and whatever ensues. That ties the original problem to a situation that could turn out ugly.

What do they hope to achieve by sticking around and mixing it up with the FLEAs?

Correct!

This may have been the first opportunity to make a stand, but it was not a good one. Nevada or Utah yes, Oregon no.

The Bundy boys let their reach exceed their grasp. Hope they can find a way to get out without making a bigger mess or going through the Fed Legal System.

Both sides want to start shooting.

If you know people there, tell them to slip out today. The cops will not let this go on much longer.

I agree.

Or have the local cops show up, talk with the guys, and say “Hey, there is a storm coming in this weekend. We have warm coffee and doughnuts in town”.

Just let it simmer down.

I think this is where it’s going. Local sheriffs usually have the best plan. I do sympathize with the ranchers, however, and I’m hoping that this helps illuminate their plight and abusive treatment by the Feds.

Check out the profile of the Federal Prosecutor who pushed the charges—obviously a nut case, subsequently let go for stalking a married subordinate male. That alone should vacate any previous legal actions prosecuted by her within the same time frame.

Kind of a bad sign in my estimation.

The Oregon judge who sent the Hammonds back to jail, deciding to add more to their sentence,after having served one sentence already is Ann Aiken.....remember her?

2001, she ruled ... ”However, she determined the interests of the fish outweighed those of the farmers.”

Yep, the same judge who shut off the water to the Klamath farmers

Most definitely. Both from the Mt. Carmel and Twin Peaks perspective. They should have never went there to begin with. For one simple reason: You never fight the other man's battle. It is a guaranteed loss on your part. Should one resist Governmental tyranny? Yes by all means, but pick your battles. The Art of War should be required reading. Lives will depend on how the lessons in the book are learned and heeded or ignored and dismissed.

Yes.

No doubt continuous less than professional behavior by incompetent and twisted appointees as is typically dismissed for and by the left.

My first thought when I saw that they had taken over the outpost was Waco. Someone like Obama would believe that Waco was entirely justified, and would not even think twice about unleashing the full military force of the DHS in this situation.

Yes its way past time for The Bundy boys to call it a day and go home. There is no support for them locally or in the credible militia community on this deal. There will be plenty of real fights to come with the BLM in the near future.

School is canceled? Local government shut down? For a handful of people thirty miles away?

Just remember this is a force deployment against Americans, but we can’t control the borders.

Get ready for The Big Show, just in time for Obama’s “Executive Action”.

Don’t be a foil for Obama’s schemes.

Portland & Bend have about 85% of the total Oregon population.

There are alot of ‘old hippies’ from the 60’s & 70’s there & they want NO ONE to occupy any open land. They want everything to ‘go back to what it looked like before Columbus landed in 1492 in America. EXACTLY how that standard can be determined is something none of them can account for.

Watch the primaries. Americans are sick to death of establishment thugs. Non-establishment candidates are polling 75% in primary polls. Just a matter of time before we flush those bastards out in Washington. Any gun violence in Oregon is counterproductive. When we take over the White House, THEN put on all the pressure to eliminate ATF, BLM, IRS, TSA and the other thug agencies.

The junior high school in downtown Burns remained closed to the public, with law enforcement workers replacing the students and teachers who were previously scheduled to fill its halls for the first day back from the winter break.

Instead, school is cancelled for the week and the building has become a makeshift police command post. All local government offices were also closed.””””

Here is the REAL reason why the schools were closed.

The action is taking place 30 miles away from Burns. The school kids were never in any danger. The FEDS just want to make a big statement & take over the schools.

Yes, they're the terrorists. They have disrupted lives. They have disrupted government.
