That's a damn fine roof on that building. I hope the idiots don't dirty the place up too much while they're busy making damn fools of themselves.

Slow down... These guys are morons and thugs and assholes and criminals and chiselers and etc.... but you don't know what you're talking about in the grand scheme of things, regarding land rights on federal land in the West.
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/bundy-oregon-showdown ... But the case of the 2014 Bundy ranch standoff, the Bureau of Land Management's initial decision to de-escalate the conflict hasn't produced much follow up. “They basically just backed down and presumably decided it wasn’t worth it and this was viewed as a big success by people at the ranch as well as anti-government extremists across the country. They promoted it as a big victory,” Pitcavage said. The Bureau of Land Management confirmed to TPM that the Bundys still owe the $1 million or so in fees to the government. "The Bureau of Land Management remains resolute in addressing issues involved in efforts to gather Mr. Bundy's cattle and we are pursuing the matter through the legal system,” the agency said in a statement from spokesman Craig Leff. “The Department of Justice has the lead on any investigation of federal crimes that may have been committed. Our primary goal remains to resolve this matter safely and according to the rule of the law." The Department of Justice did not respond to multiple requests by TPM as to whether there were any federal criminal investigations underway stemming from the 2014 standoff. ...
Seems to me that now would be an excellent time to arrest Mr. Bundy while his idiot sons and sympathizer are holed up in Oregon. They could also use civil forfeiture to seize all his livestock. Would serve the old tax cheat right.
When are the two threads gonna get merged? I agree, this is nothing like the riots in Ferguson and Baltimore. It's not like Waco. It's like subduing a small group of armed and belligerent criminals, which we do all the time except apparently with militia-types. These guys should already be in custody for the 2014 incident. I don't know why the DoJ hasn't done anything about that issue. I can believe the Bureau of Land Management is paralyzed and inept, but not the DoJ.
