Just had a BLM contact tell one of my coworkers that the Feds had been monitoring the radio frequencies all weekend and once they overheard confirmation that the militia had a sniper on every BLM truck, combined with the group that advanced on the gate demanding the cattle be released, they figured it was time to pull out. I've seen the sniper on the highway picture 100 times but I didn't realize that they had many people in position with Federal employees in their cross hairs.

I am very happy they pulled back. Otherwise my brother, BIL, and a few cousins would be dead. Or in jail.

[Uncle Ted]

There was a great piece in the Vegas paper over the weekend. Getting to know your militia members.

PS. I just got confirmation that all the agencies are cancelling their southwestern willow flycatcher (endangered bird) along the Virgin River until these Bundy supporters have cleared out.

Wow, these "patriot" snipers are serious...

IJ is right. It is a copy of the "pocket constitution".

Apparently he doesn't leave home without it...

a handful of untrained nutjobs threatening the federal government with small arms is a great strategy.

But he already tried the legal route...

1998: A federal judge issues a permanent injunction against Bundy, ordering him to remove his cattle from the federal lands. He lost an appeal to the San Francisco 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. He represented himself.

What do those stoopid lawyers/judges know anyway?

[TripletDaddy]

lol. this guy looks like a true constitutional scholar. He doesn't need it explained to him.

[old_gregg]

assault rifle toting crazy who doesn't recognize the existence of the usfg also has history as a pro se litigant. shocker of the century.

BTW, I really need one of these for hog hunting. I wonder if I could get one cheap when the feds round up JL's family. Of course, 50.cals are only about $10/round these days.

This is bigotry.

[TripletDaddy]

This is bigotry.

It isn't bigotry. He is proud of his cuisine.

[ERCougar]

I know one of his kids. I'm not super shocked he has these weird john birch politics.

You do? Because I do too and this whole thing is just surreal to me. We know three of Bundys granddaughters really well--friends of our kids and really bright, fun, normal kids. Their dad is Buddy's oldest son (of like 14 or something) and while I don't know him well, my wife knows his wife really well and didn't see this coming at all.

Just get the thing tattooed on your neck and all you need is a mirror.

If one is going to read a lettered tattoo in the mirror, wouldn't the lettering need to tattooed in reverse? Just a helpful hint for when you visit the tattoo parlor.

It's actually Madison.
