Also, the locals, many, if not most, of whom either work for the various government agencies or have businesses dependent on government interaction are making rumblings about not cooperating with the occupiers by refusing to sell them food or other items they may need or want. It looks as if the wheels are starting to come off...

The nuts do definitely seem to be coming loose...

Yep, drunkenly brawling amongst themselves, threatening death to the families of public public officials, lying about their "achievements", these are truly the cream of the American crop and a true asset to the American way of life and its values. Why, we should all be very proud they carry our flag... :nope:

Brings to mind another group of great Americans who also strove to impose their "ideals" by armed confrontation; hell, they even made a fuss about their right to bear arms:

Aside from the color, not a lot of difference...

10 points to anyone who can name those people without looking it up. :)

Hey, I thought I did pretty good for a wild guess.

...and Ma and Pa Kettle would be more rational and effective than that Oregon militia lot...

10 Points! :know:

So now this has happened. I don't think anything is going to happen with this, to me it shows partly how desperate ISIS is and like the Bundy bunch would really take advice from a muslim. On the other hand it's begining to look like the occupiers are at least to some degree prevoke a responce of some kind from the Feds. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail and this standoff doesn't become another Waco or Ruby Ridge

On Saturday, militants drove government-owned vehicles and heavy equipment around the compound, saying the trucks and backhoes now belong to the local community. They also covered the national refuge sign with a new sign saying: "Harney County Resource Center" in white block letters over a blue background.

Supporters of the Islamic State terrorist group are urging American sympathizers to try to instigate more anti-government demonstrations like last week’s armed takeover of a federal building in rural eastern Oregon.
A Twitter posting addressed to members of the Islamic State community describes the ongoing occupation by armed rancher Ammon Bundy and his fellow activists as a “key opportunity,” and suggests that Islamists should do what they can to help them.

It gets more pathetic daily. :har:

So are the people who are leaving the government building being arrested?
