“The BLM defused the standoff, citing safety concerns for its employees and the protesters, some of whom were on horseback and others who were set up in sniper positions on the Interstate 15 overpass pointing military-style rifles at federal agents. Among the citizen army were dozens of women and children under the overpass who could have been caught in the line of any possible gunfire.”
How thoughtful of the media (ABC government propagandists) to write about how benevolent and nice the BLM was to diffuse the situation by backing off (for now)...
Seems to me that I never heard about ANY of the “civilians showing up that were preparing to open fire on the BLM and its armed agents when they approached or gathered anywhere near those forces...
I could be wrong, there is a lot of mis-information floating around there on all of this...
But the negative track record still hangs on the necks of your government and its tendency to shoot and kill American citizens and ask questions, or better yet, sweep the truth under the rug afterwards...
Meanwhile (back in Gotham City /sarc) the usual politicians are beginning to come out from cover and voice their outrage at this incident, or near incident, I do not believe they know what to call it yet...(yes, that was /sarc also)...
Namely Rand Paul...(Can’t wait for the usual backlash from those FReepers who live and breath the Paul-Bot mantra)...
I’m not sure that ANYTHING will be learned about this till herr Goober-Miester and his ilk are shown the door after this administration screws the pooch as much as it can in the next year or so...
Nothing official, nothing resolved...Yawn...
Meanwhile (back at the Ponderosa) Hoss, and his buddies are still camped out waiting for the BLM or whatever forces (armed) will come back and finish the job, when things, and the attention span of Joe Q. Citizen is distracted to other things...That is as long as the food and water, and resolve still remain...
I give it a few more weeks, tops...Then the coast will be clear for more government shenanigans...
It may be safer then to conduct operations then...And the government will be prepared to lock the entire area down from ANYONE coming in to reinforce the family out there...
Ruby Ridge ALL OVER AGAIN...The potential is there for that to be the “soup de jour” when the time is right...
I wonder if anyone will figure that one out in time...
Maybe the next Texas Cowboy Memorial Shoot should move out to Clark County Nevada??? I’m just shooting from the hip there, it kinda just came to me...;-)
If we had competent journalists instead of the lowest common denominator types that are on the payroll of news organizations, the wording would be as follows as opposed to the original sentence.
“The BLM defused the standoff,which it had caused.”
original...The BLM defused the standoff, citing safety concerns
Great idea, really. Move the Knob Creek thing to Bundy’s. That would sure put the libturds knickers in a serious bunch! Just keep having big shooting events there.
