Probably just hot air, but interesting none the less.

“Send bachelors and come heavily armed.”

I love that!

Oregon Republican senator threatens state troopers, warns them to ‘come heavily armed’

___________________________________________

I get the point of their cause. I do. But using empty rhetoric like this.... Not a good idea.

Well, a “measured” response to the threat of armed capture.

Contrast that with the Wisconsin Fleebaggers who hit in a Rockford, IL hotel to avoid voting on Gov. Walker’s Act 10 reforms.

Regardless of the specifics, it is nice to see pols standing up against the oppressive left —— long overdue.

Finally, a Republican with some marbles.

I am a 57 year old fat white guy and I guarantee no State Trooper would find me if I didn’t want them to. And I wouldn’t need to find a remote cabin.

It would be nice to cool down these tensions. Compare the amount of people we lost in the first Civil War/War between the States and those we lost in all other wars. Just about everyone calling for another one of those would regret it very shortly after it got hot, if it did.

suggesting he would shoot and potentially kill

Yeah, no bias here. Did he say it or not?

The frozen faced Lesbian Bolshevik shows her real “tolerance” - men with guns.

Does anyone agree to be ruled and bullied by trash like her?

“This is what I told the superintendent,” Boquist said, referring to OSP Superintendent Travis Hampton. “Send bachelors and come heavily armed. I’m not going to be a political prisoner in the state of Oregon. It’s just that simple.”

I would imagine that if an Oregon legislator is snatched in Florida, Florida kidnapping law would apply.

, suggesting he would shoot and potentially kill any state trooper sent to haul him unwillingly back to the Capitol.

Can’t imagine this guy means it but it is, pretty much, the attitude of the Trooper or any cop, so that makes them even.

Oh man... this guy is a retired SF LTC and runs a modern day Flying Tigers organization. If he’s not a friggin’ MERC, he sure a heck works with some which means he’s most likely connected to some pretty powerful and nefarious critters. He has combat experience and seems to take absolutely zero crap off anyone.

I would take him at his word... full value!

Threatening the Republican Senators was not throwing gas on the fire but when a GOP Senator says he will not go willingly, that is throwing gas on the fire????? Typical fish wrapper interpretation.

“...suggesting he would shoot and potentially kill any state trooper sent...”

Not a bright thing to say.

The Governor’s party commented on the WI Democrats at the time. Encouraging the action.

This bill should go in a measure for a vote of the people of Oregon. Trouble is we’ve turned cap n’ crunch down before. So the totalitarians make these bills Oregonians won’t pass an Emergency and as an emergency bill they can BYPASS the will of the people.

Kate is an evil leader supporting the events surrounding the Hammond family, Malheur occupation and LeVoy Finnicums murder by FBI.

Session is over July 5th, hope the Oregon11 stay hidden.

It is only hot air. Legislators of whichever party is currently a minority fleeing into hiding to avoid a quorum is a long Oregon political tradition. This isn't even the first time it's happened in the current legislative session.

The only new thing is that it just got political attention outside Oregon.
