Terrorist insurrection against the US Government? OK as long as you're white

[Valmy]

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.

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

They would burn their own building? Seems like a waste of taxpayer money.

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 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.

The prosecutors weren't able to prove that they were covering up a crime.

Yeah, cause these dingbats decided to start a wild fire to cover their tracks, A fire that almost killed one of their kids.  I know Grumbler and Reason magazine consider crimes against the Feds to be "victimless crimes", but like I said that dog won't hunt.

Official response from Mormon church:

Church Responds to Inquiries Regarding Oregon Armed Occupation
SALT LAKE CITY —
In response to news media inquiries, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued the following statement Monday, January 4 (for more context on this issue, see this story from the Washington Post):

While the disagreement occurring in Oregon about the use of federal lands is not a Church matter, Church leaders strongly condemn the armed seizure of the facility and are deeply troubled by the reports that those who have seized the facility suggest that they are doing so based on scriptural principles. This armed occupation can in no way be justified on a scriptural basis. We are privileged to live in a nation where conflicts with government or private groups can — and should — be settled using peaceful means, according to the laws of the land.

Deer

All this nonsense just for deer makes no sense. The damn things are like a biblical plague overrunning everything. We're going to have to go Aussie rabbit hunt on them soon.

These morons are mormons? 

[Jaron]

Well yes, Cliven Bundy and family are Mormons.

Remember the last time some cultists had a standoff with the US government.

[Jaron]

Mormons aren't cultists...

[Eddie Teach]

They're about as respectable as Scientology.

They're about as respectable as Scientology.

They are a legitimate religion. There is no comparison to Scientology. Where are you getting this information? You sound very ignorant right now.
