Bundy clan plans are getting more demented.

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/whiny-oregon-militants-vow-to-arrest-county-officials-who-are-trying-to-shame-and-humiliate-them/

This shit is about to get damn serious. If I read this right, the Bundy and friends yahoos, plan to have their own court and indict the county officials who are not kissing their asses. They have used the term treason and death being punishment for such acts. It appears it may be spreading to a neighboring county and they now want to bring down the government and impose some kind of "all your lands belong to us" rule.

At this point I am not against bloodshed directed at them as it would be preferred to bloodshed against the citizens. I could understand a little if their cause was against the militarization of our police and the injustice to the non rich, but they just want our land to be their own personal land. Just more greedy sob's.

Supposedly their new computer expert is isis friendly. I guess isis is now ok with them?

They had announced the meeting and press conference for 7pm Friday but were having no luck finding a venue that would take them. Thursday Ammon said:

"It's still in limbo," Bundy said. "We're still going to have it. It's just a matter of when and where."

Wanted them to leave. Then they were going to meet Friday to let the town know when and under what circumstances they will leave but the town would not let them use the town fairgrounds ehich ticked the clan off.

Now we are kind of waiting for them to hold their secret court I guess. I don't know if they are still planning to give the town their terms tomorrow or not.

I feel sorry for that town and I imagine they are stunned that they have not been protected.

The townspeople should be making some very public appeals to the feds for protection. IMHO, those appeals should be reasonable and stated in measured language. The townspeople should distance themselves from the crazies is words and deeds.

I would be terrified if I lived there.

It's time for the Feds to step in and start making arrests. I mean, seriously. If these people were black, they'd be dead by now.

All joking aside, this needs to end swiftly with those involved going to hard time in federal prisons.
