You cannot let people take over federal property...at a certain point you have to do something
Jan 7, 2016 | Donald Trump

Posted on 02/10/2016 7:36:18 PM PST by ifinnegan

"I think what I'd do, as president, is I would make a phone call to whoever, to the group," he said, adding later, "I'd talk to the leader. I would talk to him and I would say, 'You gotta get out -- come see me, but you gotta get out.'"

"You cannot let people take over federal property," Mr. Trump said. "You can't, because once you do that, you don't have a government anymore. I think, frankly, they've been there too long."

Mr. Trump said he wasn't necessarily suggesting a large-scale military action, but that "at a certain point you have to do something and you have to be firm and you have to be strong, you have to be a government."

This is crazy to end in violence over this. It is peaceful civil disobedience in the middle of nowhere.

It is peaceful civil disobedience in the middle of nowhere.

The people in Burns, OR and the surrounding (middle of nowhere) just may disagree with you.

Yes?

Probably should have taken over “wall street” like the ‘occupiers’ they would be bringing pizzas and beer.

This is insane. Why is the FBI looking at picking a fight with these people?

If you arrived home one day to find armed intruders in your home and they refused to leave, what would you do?

I agree but we need to devolve millions of acres of land away from the central federal government and into the private ownership marketplace. There is no excuse whatsoever for fed govt owning 90% of Nevada, etc. (recommendation: limit sales to American citizens to avoid possibility of very serious problems arising)

Agree. It’s not like they were robbing liquor stores and killing clerks. Not only that, they already killed on of them under very questionable circumstances.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply violence should be taken. I have friends and relatives that live in that area and they are not in favor of this.
