Some members of Oregon militia arrested, one killed

Do these comments reminder you of any other crazies?

"God wants us here, there's a sense that's beckoning and it comes from heaven," militiaman Kelly Gneiting told KOIN. "We're doing what's right, we're doing what the founding fathers would do because we're inspired by God, also."

Been following this story from the beginning and throughout. They captured them about how I figured, but it sure took a while. Give them free rein, and let them roam around, and then nab them with a roadblock when they are isolated from the rest of the group.

Early reports are that Finicum and leader's brother Ryan Bundy resisted. Finicum (the deceased) said weeks ago that he would not be taken alive. But the conspiracy theorists, including Ammon Bundy and his wife, are already blaming the law enforcement officers, saying that Finicum was shot with arms raised and after he was down. So they are blaming Obama, but it sounds like suicide by FBI roadblock.

Those at the refuge will likely resist, but hope that doesn't happen.

Where are these guys going to get a decent trial? Not in Burns, and probably not in Portland. Bend? Spokane?

"Finicum was shot with arms raised and after he was down."

-sure...hands up don't shoot just get reborn again, right? People can go burn a mf'ing town to the ground again while the government stands by idle. Isn't that how that works? Or is he not just a big gentle giant?

don't tell me you're one of those extremists

Here is an eyewitness account:

Yep. I heard that too. (Of course I didn't hear that, but then neither did the people who lied about the gentle giant and that lie never got corrected either.) Will we be seeing white football players enter the Superbowl with their hands over their heads?

Now if they would just use deadly force when blacks loot and burn down a city maybe we'll have something like the rule of law again.

Or how about using deadly force the next time Occupy Wall Street illegally camps out somewhere? Or maybe they'll use deadly force the next time the teacher's unions take over City Hall like they did in Madison?

Hmmm. I see a pattern here. Right-wing protesters get shot, left wing protesters are treated like heroes.

Oh, and where are the white riots today?

Deadly force is used before any looting and burning took place. The reason why left-wing protestors don't get shot is because they generally aren't armed. Let's get some other examples of right-wing protestors who were shot, instead of this sample size of 1 you're currently using. Plenty of left-wing people have been shot by authorities without even protesting anything. They aren't treated like heroes contrary to what you said. But they are more favourably recieved by the general public because their causes are usually aiming to do some good in the world, not being an obstruction like the people in Oregon.

This eyewitness was a mile away from where the shooting occurred.

Oh man this gave me a great laugh today.

Gary is continually shocked by how his race gets treated unfairly by the government and has cops gun them down. He is like a black man in the 50s and 60s.

life is unfair gary. suck it up for a few decades and maybe people will things will change of you're lucky.

Only in DIscoGary's world could these whacked-out, heavily-armed rednecks be the equivalent of protesting teachers. I forget, did the teacher's unions stage an armed takeover of city hall, say they wouldn't give it back until they got what they wanted, and threaten violence against anyone who tried to stop them? No wonder Scott Walker bravely hid under his desk the whole time; those 60-year-old teachers were indistinguishable from a drunken militia bent on violent confrontation!

So like, what are these guys protesting again?

Pix or it didn't happen.

Hopefully they only have to shoot one of these azzwipes before they get the message, but if they insist on having their guns "pried out of their cold dead hands," then hey, whatever.

It ain't over yet.

It's really dumb to bring in another completely unrelated incident (where indeed there were some 400 arrests in just one week) that happened a year and a half ago, 2000+ miles away. Most people, L or R or in-between support the arrest of blatant law breakers. Stop making this a divisive issue.

Charging a police barricade isn't exactly "protesting"

Finally, I bet you are a slow runner hobby jogger.

How are these people still occupying the building? Haven't they shut down their food supply and utilities?

Maybe now the land can go back to its rightful owners.

About time they handled those terrorists.

I've wondered the same thing. Seems like the Feds would have laid siege. But did read something that they were "camping"
