WH.gov/petition We respectfully request end the armed occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge

[tencats]

We petition the obama administration to:
Arrest Ammon Bundy and the armed occupiers of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge.

President Obama,

We respectfully request that you end the armed occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge immediately. At the very least, you owe the American people an explanation as to why the area has not been isolated. Members of their organization can come and go as they please, members of the community can visit the occupied facility, and other right-wing extremist groups such as the Idaho III% can show their support.

Law enforcement inaction up to this point is an egregious violation of public safety and emboldens their erroneous assertions that the US Government has no Constitutional Authority.

Please end the siege of the refuge and arraign Ammon Bundy as soon as possible.

Link below will take you to the petition. Please sign.

1. How should they end it?

Enquiring minds want to know.

[randys1]

2. Just let em go, they are good ole boys. White , clean cut, hard working. They dont mean no harm

[cwydro]

5. No, they need to be charged to the fullest extent of the law.

But at this point, I think the Feds are taking the best path by not giving them what they want.

They'll crawl out of there eventually; they're pathetic idiots.

I hope they'll be hit with criminal charges for every damn thing possible, as well as heavy fines.

[geek tragedy]

8. The numbers of insurgents there are growing, not shrinking.

You simply can't call yourself a sovereign nation and let this sort of thing happen.

They didn't charge them after the Bundy fiasco, and we're seeing the fallout from that cowardice.

[cwydro]

11. I'm afraid you're right, but another Waco is not needed either.

I wouldn't want to be in Obama's shoes. Or Lynch's.

[geek tragedy]

16. They could follow the model of the Freemen ranch in Montana.

Where they actually enforced the law, but also avoided bloodshed.

But instead they're just surrendering US land to armed invaders.

[al_liberal]

3. Drones with missiles.

Isn't that how we deal with terrorists?

[geek tragedy]

4. show up with superior firepower, cut off all roads in and out of the refuge, and arrest anyone who

gives those scumbags so much as a single tater tot.

Shut down the electricity and water.

Lay a siege and settle for nothing but surrender.

And if they fire a single shot, kill 'em all.

[cwydro]

6. I'm troubled that they haven't cut off the electricity at least.

There is no way that they should be allowed to come and go. I don't get that.

[geek tragedy]

7. the orders from DC have been to avoid any kind of confrontation at all costs.

Good thing these guys didn't target the WH, between the Secret Service's incompetence and the WH's unwillingness to defend US territory, they'd be setting up shop in the Oval Office.

[cwydro]

9. Lol. It makes you wonder...

I'm just hoping there's more going on behind the scenes that we're unaware of.

Unfortunately, my faith in our intelligence agencies is rather weak.

[geek tragedy]

10. this isn't a failure of intelligence agencies, it's a failure of leadership nt

[CommonSenseDemocrat]

17. Is this a Democratic website? Accusing the WH of not defending US territory ...

Seriously?

[geek tragedy]

18. The horrible part is not that it's being written but that it is 100%, indisputably accurate nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

12. "And if they fire a single shot, kill 'em all." My goodness. My fucking goodness.

[geek tragedy]

14. how should a nation deal with a hostile invasion force? nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

21. Your hyperbole is breathtaking. Some old fat white guys with a few guns = a hostile invasion force?

Seriously...

Establish a perimeter and kindly tell anyone who tries to breach it to go back home to their Cheetos.

Blare at max volume 24/7 a message saying "Leave your weapons inside. Come out peacefully with your hands in plain sight. Let us help you."

Sit back and let the situation resolve itself.

Fuck I'm glad you're not in charge.

[geek tragedy]

22. Why haven't they done as you're suggesting?

They have refused to do a single thing that would inconvenience these thugs.

No roadblocks. Not cut off of electricity. Not even a sternly worded letter telling them to leave.

Just a bunch of whining to the press that what's going on is illegal and harmful.

In other words, federal law enforcement is doing what we're doing, except they're not talking about resolving this.

[randys1]

26. Obama is Black. Teaparty and GOP viciously hate him for that. they are looking

for any reason to accuse him of starting a war on white people.

This is way more complicated than you seem to realize.

[geek tragedy]

29. they're going to hate him anyways.

better to be respected and hated than neither respected nor hated.

[NutmegYankee]

34. It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.

Niccolo Machiavelli

[cherokeeprogressive]

30. I don't imagine I'm the person to be asking why they haven't done what I'm suggesting.

I'm still glad you're not in charge though.

[trueblue2007]

27. I AGREE WITH YOU.

[MiniMe]

23. Cut off power, jam cell phone service, and don't let anybody in or out unless the person is

surrendering. And don't give them any food, tp, or anything else they asked for, that would be on the taxpayers dime after all. If they came to stay for years, they should have come prepared. And stop giving them access to the media!

[Quixote1818]

13. Done. K and R

[CommonSenseDemocrat]

15. Petition: We want unnecessary violence between law enforcement and occupiers

It will be super lulzy and make for great TV.


****

Let law enforcement do their jobs, seriously.

[geek tragedy]

19. Letting criminals do whatever the hell they want with zero consequences is not law enforcement's job

[JEB]

33. Kissing criminal ass. Disgusting.

[steve2470]

20. done! nt

[Rex]

24. Won't matter if you get a million signatures, nobody will do anything about it.

White RWing supremacy is on full display right now and it seem some really do enjoy it!

[LiberalElite]

25. Signed. nt

[Jim Beard]

28. Only some special people get out of punishment.

The Affluenza mom got her bail reduced from one million to $75,000
