World through militia eyes: Domestic terrorists? Heroes? Who're the armed men who invaded Nevada?

BUNKERVILLE — A GMC pickup motors across a bridge over the Virgin River, kicking up a cloud of desert.

The door swings open. This is my ticket inside the militia that’s become rancher Cliven Bundy’s fighting brigade.

Brandon Rapolla, a 39-year-old concrete mixer from Oregon, steers the truck toward the militia camp that’s assembled to support Bundy’s battle with the Bureau of Land Management.

There’s an assault rifle propped between Rapolla’s knees. A .338 Magnum rifle, designed to take down big game at a distance the length of three football fields or more, rests within arm’s reach on the back seat under a ghillie suit that’s used by snipers to blend with the brush. Next to my left leg, on the console, there’s a 7-inch Marine-issued knife.

Rapolla is prepared for a war with his government. His guns, he says, aren’t just a show of force. Not knowing what to expect when he rolled into town, he says he was ready to die — and, if he must, shoot a federal agent.

“Our pistols are shooting through my f****** window if there’s a roadblock, then we’re f****** getting out,” he said. “We’re gonna go to wherever the guns are blazing. We’re not gonna walk to a f****** bloody (battlefield).”

In a brief rant from his truck bed, Rapolla used the F-bomb seven times to describe his anxiety and adrenaline he felt driving into Bunkerville.

As they arrived in Nevada, Rapolla and fellow militia members said they were convinced the BLM was bent on wiping out Bundy and his family....

Even your own family. That’s how serious it is.

When Reid began demonizing the people and then accused them of posting snipers, I suspect the BLM and other involved govt contacts had begun posting their own snipers and Reid is now trying to cover their trial by labeling as domestic terrorists associated with those who opposed the government.

The only thing constant with Reid is his untrustworthiness and desire to steal from America.

It’s all coming together now, just as it was foretold in the Bible. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about Matthew 24, especially verse 37: “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.”

That is no doubt the fallen angels on earth again, along with satan when they get kicked out of heavan. Woe, Woe, Woe to those on Earth....
