Some of the comments here, disturbing, is this really what FR is about.
And whats the point of all this? We don’t need some half wit paranoid jokers, with guns telling us what a patriot is. Nothing patriotic about their action. In 24 hrs this will be forgotten.
A 2016 noob with `DU’ in its name lecturing us on patriotism.
Go soak your head.
Go back to DU.
And whats the point of all this? We don't need some half wit paranoid jokers, with guns telling us what a patriot is.
No more than we need pompous jokers with a keyboard telling us what a patriot isn't. To each his own.
The four people were justifiably concerned about how their friend, LaVoy Finicum, had been killed by law enforcement.
Law enforcement still won't release the audios of the stops and the killing. As far as I'm concerned, they're hiding what they did.
Heck, law enforcement was taking videos with audio of the whole thing, and they also confiscated audio/video from a cellphone & video camera that the people in Finicum's truck were recording the whole thing with.
But they only released a silent sky cam video.
Discovery in the civil suit is going to be a humdinger.
“In 24 hours this will be forgotten.”
QuiqleyDU, you’re wrong. If only we here remember, it will make a difference.
Forget you fbi

Do you have even the slightest understanding as to what has led these people to act out as they have? My guess is that you don’t. That you’re completely ignorant of what the gang greene environazis and the complicit federal agencies are up to.
You are woefully ignorant. Give it time and effort and FR can assist in easing your condition.
That is the problem.
The MSM , like the federal government, back their chosen winners and roll over their chosen losers.
If this was a group of black homosexual muslims the story would be front page news as far out as it could be milked.
There would there would be demonstrations, candle light vigils and encouraging speeches from the White House how "Demonstrators Lives Matter".
QuigleyDU, you are a Trump plant who signed up a month ago just to insult others and promote Trump.
So typically, have no clue, are shallow and superficial.
Trump supporters should think long and hard.
The fact is, the Federal Government has stepped way outside its bounds and is trampling water, property, and many of our unalienable rights.
If they will do it to these farmers and ranchers...you can bet that, sooner or later, they will do it to you.
These people are standing up against it. It has been going on for years, and getting worse.
At some point, you either stand up against it, or you are no longer free. That's why this is important, and the name of this forum "Free Republic," should give you the hint that, yes, these types of things are precisely what FR is about.
Our founders understood this. It is PRECISELY what they did against the over-burdensome and tyrannical English government of their day. They ended up being inspired in their writing of the Declaration of Independence and then the US Constitution to outline what the federal government's role is...and they are pretty explicit about it.
Now we live in a day when those constraints are being trampled and a new generation of people recognize the same truths...
"whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it... Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such "As the trampling of our basic rights continue...sooner or later, either we follow their example, or we are going to lose what has been purchased for us.
Whether you agree with hos these people are going about it...make no mistake...that is exactly what is happening.
