Finally, some action in Oregon. Ammon Bundy has been arrested alongside several other militant scumbags, while another one is pushing up daisies.

Punishments or political mutilations?

I'm pretty sure that'd be more of a punishment to the people actually doing the sawing.

Well, if the identification of him is correct, he was one of the "spokespersons" for the group and had stated that he would rather die than be arrested.

Well, you can't say that government is good for nothing. He preferred death over arrest, and that's what he got. It was quick and efficient; no need to fill out paper work or in long lines.

If a bunch of dumb hicks, who apparently have nothing better to do w/ their time, wanna get their redneck asses killed by law enforcement by thinking they can take them on, please do so. This is gonna turn into another Waco, and we know how that turned out for those dumbass Branch Davidians. My only concern w/ this is the possibility that, somewhere down the line, some patriot movement fellow traveler decides to pull off a terrorist attack against government property like the Oklahoma City Bombing was done by some asshole (and his asshole accomplice, who's now rotting away in a supermax facility) as a response to Waco and Ruby Ridge. Maybe that's what these shit-kickers want.

The best course of action would be for the police to quietly arrest any that strays away from the ranch. All you have to do is wait them out. They'll start to get bored and will trickle out of there.

I wonder if that one guy who came up w/ the brilliant idea to use women as human sandbags back at the Bundy ranch is there in Oregon.

Do you ever feel like attitudes like this about rural Americans might be part of the problem?

Well, then what a bunch of crybabies these rural American are. Like this assclown:
