I'm going to offer a temporary change in venue on this matter. ;-)
I'm going to Burns, OR in a few days. I've been told by some people that it's stupid because: A. the government is too powerful B. the FBI will murder me C. I'll be droned D. The Bundys are "racists" E. militias are scary (I lol'd at that one considering who and what I am) and F. "you'll hurt the cause!"
One can debate the resources in jeopardy on the land being lusted after by the Bureau of Land Management, one could also debate the tactics employed by the interagency spousal alliance of the BLM/FWS. I'm focused solely on the 8th Amendment violation.
If we aren't ready to stand up to this abuse now, will we ever be? If we wait for the "right time" we will be long dead before any real consensus is made as to whether or not it is the "right time." Even if the Hammonds do not want our help, we can at least settle on the fact that if you let a bully get away with pushing a kid around he will do it again and again and take more and more every time. I wish more people would put their money where their mouths are. Complacency and fear is why we are at the point we are at now. As for me, I'm done watching. My rifle my ruck and my gear stands ready. Maybe I die, maybe I don't. But at least I'm trying to reverse what the generations before mine failed to prevent.
Call me what you want.
