Militia around Bundy Ranch set up checkpoints, demand papers, control taffic flow

.....

I find this all very amusing and comical. And the Bundies should be commended for stirring up the nut cases and rounding them up for easy arrests. These militia folk are paranoid freaks (just read the link "possible drone strike"). The oathkeepers believe that they have been infiltrated. SO picture a group of paranoid people who distrust even their fellow soldiers. If the feds show up in force these nuts will be shooting their own first believing that they were infiltrators, but more likely they would all just **** their pants and give up. It really is pathetic seeing these full grown men sitting on top of a hill pretending to be look outs. I mean wtf are they going to to do?

Hmm, getting them all in one location......now that's an option. Makes for easier pickins.

The 1st amendment doesn't let you stop people on public roads, and so the 1st amendment doesn't apply.

The militia isn't operating under orders from a 'proper authority', they are conducting illegal activity, and so this 'militia' is little better than gang members.

So far it's turned the public against Bundy. But then again, if it wasn't for the 1st, Bundy would've been just a blurb in a local newspaper.

This whole thing is like Kabuki theater.
 
Concerns growing about militia members at Bundy ranch - 8 News NOW

So like I said in other topics about this developing story, its gone beyond the unpaid fees for gazing on Federal land and turned into a question of whether or not we are going to allow an active insurgency to operate within this country.

Also, is it more ironic or sad that these folks who claim to want freedom are acting in exactly the manner of an authoritarian?

Its one thing to tell the government to go pound sand and when they come to you to enforce their will you kick their butts. Its another thing entirely to be stopping people on the highway searching them ect. They are crossing a line they really shouldn't. The feds haven't tried in earnest to spill blood. No point in stopping innocents on the highway.

ABC's 'This Week': Former President Bill Clinton, "We shouldn't demonize elected officials"


Seems like there has been a whole lot of demonizing going on.

Lets hope no one gets hurt.

It would seem these militia members WANT someone to get hurt.

You can only Tease the Tiger for so long.....before it gets pissed and bites your arm off.

Nobody but the police or the owner of a property (and then only on his own property itself) has the right to do traffic stops or set up road blocks. Even the police does not force residents of an area to prove they are from there without a legal basis for such behavior and these armed clowns supporting Bundy have neither the legal right or the legal justification for their actions.

It would be interesting to see what these people would do if a driver simply drove right through the little road block.
Would they attempt a forced stop?
Would they simply stare impotently and be embarrassed?
What if the driver called 911 and said they felt threatened?

Stand your Ground anyone?
 
Now just imagine a left-wing militia doing this exact thing last decade.
Or right now.
FOX would demand all MSM to pick up their ridiculous conspiracies, as the MSM began to do in 2009 .
 
In all seriousness, if they stopped me, I would shoot them. I call on all residents so affected in that area to likewise take up arms and respell these 'militia'.

Uh... I don't think you'd get the chance, or survive the encounter at all, a few armed men surround your car and you opt to draw from probably the worst position possible?

lock and load, accidents are just waiting to happen with that kind of an attitude. And you are right, what "reaction" will they give to someone who quite rightly ignores these idiots and goes on his merry way?

I would be careful about that. False imprisonment isn't a felony and as such the use of deadly force in resistance or in effecting a citizen's arrest is not justified, of course if they actually point a gun at you then it is justified in self defense (no duty to retreat for a person not engaged in illegal activity), but I would be careful not to be the first to point a gun.

Insurgency? :doh Who came armed first? Let me guess, you equate this to all pro-gun folks. Just because it uses the term 'militia' doesn't equate a legitimate US militia.

:failpail: on your known anti 2nd stance to paint all pro-gun as insurgence.

All is not well in Militiaville. Oath Keepers » Blog Archive » Bundy Ranch Advisory for April 29, 2014

Incidentally the Oathkeepers are officially the militia group affiliated with the Bundy Ranch. Which hasnt pleased other militia groups. Apparently the militia community doesnt like that title so they no call themselves the patriot community.

"And that is true. And that is why Oath Keepers is being kicked in the teeth by people purporting to be pillars of the patriot community. "


Also it should be noted that the Bundies/Oathkeepers have named this the "The Bundy Ranch Revolution".

"This advisory will be an encapsulation of a much larger story with numerous feature or peak points to reveal in coming weeks and months. The Bundy Ranch Revolution against federal land management within the several States is positively huge. My comment to Stewart Rhodes regarding the gravity and significance of the Bundy stand is that it is a watershed moment in Twenty-first Century American history, and I am totally proud of Oath Keepers for jumping in with the Bundy family and their good neighbors."

They obviously want to make this a big deal and they go as far as calling it a revolution. They think that they are going to setup a military base in Nevada and through that base command a revolution. They believe that Americans will back them and pick up their firearms and rise against the government.

I find this all very amusing and comical. And the Bundies should be commended for stirring up the nut cases and rounding them up for easy arrests.

Yeah, but these guys are white, so the ultra right is OK with them.

Doesn't matter who camed armed first, there is NOTHING that gives these "militia" people the right to stop cars and ask for "proof" of where they live.

Has nothing to do with gun rights, etc, these people right now are overstepping their bounds.

The people who have made it their life's passion to hate the President are going to hate him even more if he makes the right decision here.

If these idiots are stopping and questioning anybody on federal lands, the President should utilize all appropriate LE organizations to get their azzes in line.

If these idiots are on local, state, or county properties, those leaders should do the same.
 
agreed, they have no right to stop anybody, and maybe this rancher is out of line, too. but we already KNOW what Feds tend to do to women and children, since waco and Ruby Ridge, so having LOTS of people watching them closely, is a GOOD thing.

Sorry can't stand with anyone who supported a Waco or ruby ridge, what those people would have liked to do to my people would have been worse than death.

Sorry, did not mean Waco.

I completely agree.

Given OP's post history my comment stands.
 
Actually, they are committing false imprisonment, which is highly illegal. My opinion is that the Feds should just move in and mop up.

I would love to see them try. You think the feds are ready to fight more than a million people?

Idiots like Weaver and Koresh, are different than Bundy.
