In reply to the discussion: SPLC report: Bundy ranch standoff was highly coordinated, reflecting threat of larger far-right mili [View all]1StrongBlackMan

I suspect a poser.
Regarding the stupidity thing ... Who gives an interview in which they brag about conspiring to commit a Felony?
Regarding the poser thing ...
Not only did they take up the very best position to overwatch everything, they also had the high ground, they were fortified with concrete and pavement barriers, Payne said. They had great lines of fire and then, when I sent in that other team, for counter-sniper positions, [the BLM agents] were completely locked down. They had no choice but to retreat.
Not having been a sniper, or schooled in the art, I had no idea what "counter-sniper position" are. So, like any good liberal, I did the google thing ... and from what I can gather, "counter-snipers" are used to engage the other side's snipers.
So this Payne guy appears to be yet another former military guy that picked up some cool lingo.

OP
Take the militias seriously. They are a greater threat than Al Quaeda, and they are ours....

The ones I saw I would definitely not call tanks, they were just huge and looked to be well armed,
