He’s going to shoot them with a Twinkie?

Seems night vision should make it fairly easy to find this little needle in the haystack.

Maybe it’s a heavy caliber Twinkie.

By the end of the week, this will have gotten more ‘air-time’ than all the ‘flash-mob’ events combined.

Maybe this time Bigfoot will get it from the Alphabet Soup Gang. Night vision isn’t all it’s cracked up to be if you hide by night and move by day.

Project 7 allegedly plotted to assassinate local officials, go to war with the National Guard and overthrow the federal government.

Ambitious bastards, ain't they?

I always wonder what these guys are thinking. Assuming they defeat the Guard, an unlikely eventuality, do they think the government will just roll over and surrender? They prepared to take on tanks and helicopter gunships? Not to mention Seal Team Six.

Send in the SWAT team from Arizona.

Burgert served time in the Federal Bureau of Prisons on weapons charges before being released on probation. Before his sentencing, he was diagnosed with paranoid personality disorder.

This could become a really, really popular diagnosis in the very near future.

The government appears to have been persecuting this guy for years because he exercises his right to keep and bear arms.

People wonder what revolution will look like. I think it looks like this.

‘Night vision isn’t all it’s cracked up to be if you hide by night and move by day.”

Perhaps I’m thinking the thermal imaging systems and not ‘night vision’ per se. Its a big area. Hopefully nobody will get hurt.

“Seems night vision should make it fairly easy to find this little needle in the haystack.”

That’s what they said about Eric Rudolph.

The communists liked to use “mental illness” as an excuse to lock up dissidents.

Of course, to a communist, even BEING a “dissident” is proof of “mental illness”.

Most of the time you hear of grand plans like this its from some informant. Typically as part of some drunken rambling and not as a coherent plan.

Still it helps build funding for those swat teams and special weapons.

Yes, difference is Eric was hiding out in the Ozarks wasn’t he. Still very rough country but the population density is a lot higher than Montana.

Won’t be easy to find him if he doesn’t want to be found.

It’s an automatic, assault twinkie with an extended magazine.

If that’s the case, the Bradys are probably writing a bill to ban it. More Twinkie control!

Not necessarily. If he’s smart, he knows how to hide from IR and FLIR.

You must never have search for some one in a big forested area.

It can be hard to find people who want to be found ie lost hunters hikers ect.

If this guy is well armed and in the mind set to shoot people there well be a fair number of dead officers

My guess he is more talk then action othr wise we would be hearing of dead officers all ready.

In a search like this it is a target rich environment for the hunted.

Yep.

"You aren't really paranoid if they actually ARE out to get you."

Over-throwing THIS government? Probably not a bad idea considering it isn't the one outlined in the Constitution...
