What happens if the federal government ignores those hillbillies? What happens if they send in the black helicopters? I think the latter would give better TV pictures.

This isn't terrorism. Uggh. Not every bad thing someone does is terrorism.

Occupying buildings have long been a method of protest here, obviously no guns are involved. Usually it's peaceful but the more extreme kind of occupiers sometimes use molotov cocktails and such against the police.

It's not terrorism.

College kids have been occupying places for years now.

Hell there was an enormous protest movement that took the word for their name...

We actually also had an occupation yesterday. 20 or so people entered an empty government building to illustrate that Denmark has plenty of space to host refugees instead of in tent camps.

They were all arrested and the media went with calling them intruders and didn't really write about why they did it.

The reason the Fighting Seedies managed to stay as long as they did is because they were given permission to camp in a privately owned park.

That's true of Zucotti Park in NYC, but the national Occupy movement involved a lot of occupations (that violated the law) of public parks around the country.

I don't know. Arson will land you in the can over here too, although not five years (unless there's been danger of personal injury).

If there has a mandatory five-year prison sentence for burning some grass on government-owned property, then there's legislators are morons, too.

I gladly give up my white privilege to occupy federal buildings while carrying weapons.

If there has a mandatory five-year prison sentence for burning some grass on starting a fire to cover a crime, using accelerants, and putting the lives and property of others at grave risk on government-owned property, then there's legislators are morons, too.

There, fixed it for you.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Usually, the feds would respond by burning the building. But that might be hypocritical in this case.

Were these people equipped with firearms?
