Three of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy's sons and what they claim are 150 militia members have occupied a federal building in eastern Oregon in order to keep two local ranchers out of prison, according to local reports.

The group is believed to be heavily-armed.

According to The Oregonian, the group seized the headquarters building at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge about 50 miles outside Burns, Ore. The remote facility was closed and unoccupied at the time.

Bundy and his supporters were in Oregon after two men were scheduled to go to prison on Monday for setting fires on federal land, according to a report by Oregon Public Broadcasting. The case has caused a stir in eastern Oregon because the two men were charged under anti-terrorism laws.

oh GOOD GRIEF!!!!

They are going to ruin the 2016 election for us with stunts like this!

These morons need to go the hell home.

[GailA]

Waco all over again is more like it. With 0 setting up new gun laws on Monday, do you really have a doubt whites will have a chance? They are not black or muzzie the protected groups.

[Nextrush]

Its very hazy out there tonight.

The “Pete Santilli Show” is out tonight with comment saying people will be ‘slaughtered’ and that those ‘on the inside’ who he estimates at about 100 ‘need the support of the patriot community....otherwise the federal government is going to kill all of them’.

Are the flies being enticed to the paper here????????

[Paladin2]

Wazn’t that in I DEE HO? That “story” needs more fact checking. I doubt that the rancher targeted the popos.

[Nextrush]

This interrupts the political narrative, that’s for sure.....for all those who think politics will save us...violence will not....I believe God can deliver....any resistance to authority needs to be carefully thought out and non-violently executed.

[Domangart]

I believe they have to have a Hildabeast sign and enter during work hours. If the building is locked then they can be charged with Open Mopery withe the intent to commit creep. Public green and all that.

"Not too long after Harper's Ferry, 'John Brown's Body' was a Union marching song".

Yep...and Robert E. Lee led the troops that stormed the arsenal at Harper's Ferry.

[OftheOhio]

Case in point, Just had my shed broken into last night and my 100 plus lb. generator stolen, about 10 feet from my bedroom no less.
I called the sheriff’s office against my first thought and a deputy showed up, took down the particulars, and promptly asked me if that vehicle in the driveway was mine. Obviously the tool was going to run my plates to make sure I wasn’t a criminal. WTF? I’ll take care of my own problems from now on, count on it.

[Paladin2]

I lately read that the Bundy Ranch standoff went well due to external sharpshooters being tactically positioned to take out all feds, no natter how far from the homestead they were positioned. Somewhat a numbers game.

[mass55th]

"I've been there."

Me too...several times, but haven't been there in quite a few years.

[tumblindice]

And not long after that, Lee put on the uniform of the Army of Northern Virginia and forfeited his home in Arlington.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Didn’t John Brown tried to start a slave revolt in 1859 with his sons at Harper’s Ferry? That didn’t end well for him. Wrong move.

As an American, a veteran, I say zero tolerance to inciting rebellion and taking up arms against the US. These thugs are no better than the people rioting in Baltimore, occupying Wall Street, etc. They are definitely not someone any red-blooded American conservative should be supporting.

I take it that this particular quote means nothing to you:

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 Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.The Federal government has no constitutional legitimacy for ownership of "Federal Lands" within the States without specific approval by the State legislature involved. Nor is the use involved in this instance the list permitted under Article I Section 8: "forts, dock yards, arsenals, magazines, and other needful buildings." It has violated equal standards of citizenship within Several States and the Tenth Amendment. Exercise of such enforcement, and especially by the Orwellian term, "Administrative Law Judge," is illegal and a violation of the separation of powers. Those are abuses and usurpations, sir, reducing citizens under absolute Despotsim.

Hence, if you don't recognize that quote as from the Declaration of Independence and recant that sentiment, you are no American. I suggest you reconsider.

[Paladin2]

Being motivared by a quota system that U don’t control can be problematic....

[HamiltonJay]

There is a lot going on that is disgusting but we are nowhere near an open large rebellion, 150 folks hold up in a bldg do so at the governments unwillingness to vacate them. Particularly one that was vacant at the time they occupied it.

Don’t know enough about this event to comment but hardly see this as the start of any major insurection. If anything our nation is at the apathy stage, not the rebellious one yet.

[kvanbrunt2]

Must we submit at all times to arbitrary rule?>>>> it is islam after all -— submit.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

And so it starts—the revolt will be put down—but the echos will be felt all over the west. It isn’t going to end here.

[Nextrush]

Here is a link to a story published on the website of a nearby television station-KTVZ Bend, OR.

It shows a still picture of the American flag placed over the welcome sign to the wildlife refuge where the building is being occupied.

I just know the lightning was doing the part it did before land management became a thing, and God knew what he was doing.

This is not true ecologically, historically, or theologically. Regular fire interrupts fuel accumulations that lead to catastrophic fire. Indians lit those fires for thousands of years and built what you apparently (and erroneously) believe was "Natural." G_d gave the job of managing the land to Man in Genesis 1:28 with the charge to bring it to fullness.

I suggest you top off that oil.

[Paladin2]

I have had to train my city attorney to leave me alone, no matter what my neighbors claim. Now that I’m retired and have a better understanding of the Legal System, I can better defend myself against the tyrannical ‘rats.
