Federal Building taken over by Violent Protestors!

[LunaSea]

They stayed for 40 days with no teargas, rubber bullets, or pepper spray.
The even got to receive care packages.
Of course this was four years ago, and they were just heavily armed, disgruntled white men with
strange religious ideas.

1. And I think Trump pardoned some of them

Bundy Boys.

[superpatriotman]

2. They had snipers on overpasses

We do not

[Hekate]

3. I do remember that shocking photo

Words fail me

[keithbvadu2]

7. There were LEOs supporting Bundy while the sniper was sighting in on LEO badges.

15. That was two separate events.

2 years apart.

The “Bundy Standoff” Happened in 2014 and that’s where this famous photo was taken;




The Malheur event was 2016 and generated THIS famous list of “needed supplies”;

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Bundy and his Puss Gut

Militia. In 2014 this same Crew were all at Bundy's so called Ranch in Bunkerville Nevada. Ranch,that raised Watermelons.

14. Wellstone was definitely one of the good guys.

-

If I remember correctly, he was the only one that voted against the Patriot Act. Sorry, I'm a little fuzzy on all that, but I'm still so suspicious of the way he died.

We were protesting the Bush Wars in Seattle the next day, and his name was chanted almost throughout the whole march.

That was pretty cool.

Sorry, if I'm bothering you with this.

16. Great Person.

Shared Grand Kid Pictures many a time in Northfield over a decade of the Nineties.

[Amy-Strange]

20. Never let anyone forget...

-

His legacy should live forever!

[UpInArms]

19. I was in the streets of San Francisco

Protesting when I heard he had died in a plane crash ...

My heart was and is broken ... he was one of the best

[Amy-Strange]

21. ...if not THE best.

-

He wasn't really a politician, or a rebel.

He just did what was right.

That takes brains and guts.

He was and still is my favorite of all time!

[Celerity]

22. Not Wellstone, he voted for it. Russ Feingold was the solitary Senator to vote against it

23. We definitely need to do away with the Patriot Act AND the Homeland Security Act.

If anyone has read the damned things, you know they pretty much dismantled the constitution.

[Amy-Strange]

24. Thank you...

5. Actually, the WH was taken over by violent anti-Americans in 2017

Sadly, no one's tear gassed them yet.

[PandoraAwakened]

27. Exactly.

[keithbvadu2]

6. They called for their supporters to come kill the police in that Oregon occupation.

8. this was approved of by the thing in the white house along with the storming of michigan

and another state cap. all the rest were unapproved by the thing.

[central scrutinizer]

9. But Obama was president

Wuss

[roamer65]

10. LaVoy Finicum got what he deserved.

If I were President, I would have ordered a raid on Malheur.

[maxsolomon]

12. He essentially committed suicide.

Given what transpired in the trial (Jury Nullification), he would have walked away Scot Free and been a hero to Welfare Ranchers, Sagebrush Rebels, and Gunners everywhere. Instead he chose to buy his own bullshit and turn that pointless crusade it into his personal apocalypse.

Not unlike many of the Branch Davidians.

[kacekwl]

11. To this day that whole disgraceful series of events

make me so angry that these criminals were allowed to basically walk away as hero's to many. To this day many of them are still causing problems.

[greblach]

13. Bundy Bois

or as some people called them Vanilla Isis...this has been repeated when the gun nuts show up at state capitols to try and intimidate...funny how they are treated differently...

[Archae]

17. Remember the one who yelled into a camera?

Fat guy, mustache?

Just a few days ago that Meal Team 6 squad member was busted after a high-speed chase with cops and was wounded in a shootout.

18. They had members of Congress there to show support. nt

[Hotler]

25. Remember when people started sending care packages with rubber dicks.

They got pissed. "STOP SENDING US DICKS" they yelled on camera.

[dsharp88]

26. Less than 3 months since armed white men invaded Mich. capitol

Last edited Sat Jul 25, 2020, 12:39 PM - Edit history (1)

because they didn't want to wear masks. No arrests, and trump tweeted, "LIBERATE MICHIGAN!"

[Illumination]

28. Federal Building Take Overs

The longest Federal take over was for the ADA. It would have never been a reality with out protesting!
