31. I want a peaceful resolution
Sun Jan 10, 2016, 07:47 PM
Jan 2016

I don't want the FBI to storm them and have a shoot out but they could start by not allowing them to hold daily press conferences. Not allowing people to come and go as they please. The Bundy's left the compound and went to church today. I'm starting to wonder if they broke any laws or not. They claim they're waiting them out but these folks are moving around like they own the place.

They make up for it by aggressively swarming posters who disagree with them SwankyXomb Jan 2016 #42
