Three of Cliven Bundy's sons, militia seize federal building in Oregon
Washington Examiner ^ | 1/2/16 10:04 PM | DAN FRIEDMAN, KYLE FELDSCHER

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.

There is a rebellion brewing, and if we don't get the right kind of leadership it might boil over.

First the story says “heavily armed” and later says whether armed is not known.

If they have weapons in a federal building, they have screwed up.

As I wrote in another thread, the federal government needs to use whatever force necessary to protect public property, arrest these militia, jail them, convict them, and send them to prison. 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.

True, but this is just sort of “armed”rebellion story that the media has been waiting for. Bad tactic on the part of the ranchers.

I hope the mods don’t knock this story down like mine was.

But something is brewing tonight that smells bad and is worthy of Breaking News treatment.

This may be a false flag op for those who consider such things.

The Portland Oregonian/Oregon Live story on this includes this paragraph.

“Government sources told The Oregonian/Oregon Live that the militia also was planning to occupy a close wildland station near the town of Frenchglen. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management posts crews there during the fire season.”

The feds appear to be well informed and agents-informants are probably planted among the protestors in my estimation.

The people the media spoke with from the protest group would not comment on whether they were armed.......

“As an American, a veteran, I say zero tolerance to inciting rebellion and taking up arms against the US”

Then our forefathers would’ve been in that same category.

We are under more tyranny than we were back then, by far. Our freedoms have been eroded and the Constitution trampled on.

I’m all for CWII. (But it has to be done smarter than this.)

Have a bad feeling that that isn’t going to end too well — for the Bundy bros.

They should go to prison. Who are these freaks? Possibly endangering people and wildlife and for what? What gives them the right to do this?

If they have weapons in a federal building, they have screwed up. Yeah, we should cower to the almighty fed gov..F every one of them. Keep sucking up to those safe zones and citizen dis-armament zones. They (the fed) have NOTHING to fear from a citizenship; unless?

As I spoke in another tavern, the British need to use whatever force necessary to protect public property, arrest these militia, jail them, convict them, and send them to prison. As a citizen of the crown, a veteran, I say zero tolerance to inciting rebellion and taking up arms against the King. These thugs are no better than the people rioting in Boston, destroying tea, etc. They are definitely not someone any red-blooded British loyalist should be supporting.

God save the King!
