Have Any Federal Agencies Showed Up On The Scene In Malheur?...... [View all]

What about media? Are these guys only in one of the buildings at the site or have they occupied all the buildings (as I've seen in pictures of the compound here on DU). Earlier I heard that they were 150 strong - then I heard that there are only about 15 guys there - what is it? Have any measures been taken yet to turn off utilities and freeze and starve them out? Where these guys planners and prepared? Did they take provisions in with them or was this just a spur of the moment occupation?

Why is there so little information coming out of this area?

Have there been any comments by any of the candidates running for the nomination from either party yet?

I doubt you can tell anything other than my skin color GummyBearz Jan 2016 #6

I have no clue about your skin color MohRokTah Jan 2016 #8

Terrorists do not have to use violence to be terrorists, they merely have to threaten violence. MohRokTah Jan 2016 #30

You gave 2 options GummyBearz Jan 2016 #31

I do not expect these terrorists to surrender. eom MohRokTah Jan 2016 #32

Thankfully you don't get to nuke them either. eom GummyBearz Jan 2016 #34

Mark my words, the only way this ends is bloodshed or giving in to terrorists. eom MohRokTah Jan 2016 #35

Shoot first, ask questions later. Is this your approach to all terrorists? GummyBearz Jan 2016 #36

Let's ask them to leave peacefully, and be arrested for the crimes they've committed. HuckleB Jan 2016 #42

In the face of the full power of the federal government I know what I would do. GummyBearz Jan 2016 #44

They brought several 35' trailers with supplies. eom MohRokTah Jan 2016 #22
