Private Militia Takes Over Federal Wildlife Sanctuary in Oregon

[jbrown329]

Harney County sheriff Dave Ward says unknown people are trying to harass the police. They're following cops home, sitting in cars outside the homes of police officers, and initiating discussions with them about their employment.

Seems like a damn good way to get shot.

There is a hilarious Twitter account, penned by Colin Meloy, which satirizes the Bundy occupation as gay romance. Others have joined in, using the hashtag #bundyeroticfanfic

"Jason pressed Jed against a rack of 'Birds of Oregon' books; his breath was sweet with jerky. Somewhere, an egret cried." #bundyeroticfanfic

"'It ain't snacks I'm hungry for, Trevor.' Ryan's heart was beating wildly beneath the quilted flannel of his shirt." #bundyeroticfanfic

"They huddled together for warmth. The cold of Ammon's Ruger 22 against Brian's naked thigh sent a thrill up his spine." #bundyeroticfanfic

"Zek had fired some big guns before, but this would be his first true magnum." #bundyeroticfanfic

-John Wegner

"After, Ammon leaned in and breathed, "the right to bear me in your arms will never be abridged." #bundyeroticfanfic

-Brian Young

#bundyeroticfanfic Zeke kissed his tears away and shushed him, exploring his warmth. 'We,' he breathed, 'have all the snacks we need.'

-Johnny Sundahl

"You're hurt" Jason whispered "that holster has bruised your shoulder" "I'm fine" said Ammon. "No, it needs massaging." #bundyeroticfanfic

-Donovan Buck

Ammon's breath quickened at the sound of rustling denim & velcro unfastening. "Just looking ain't a sin," he thought. #bundyeroticfanfic

Which is exactly what they want.

Thanks a lot. You owe me some Windex. I just blew tea out my nose and all over my desk.

^ If gay fiction with science fiction characters is called slash, what is it called when real people are used?

 

[zoltanspawn]

People are trolling them by mailing them dildos and other grievous materials. Jon isn't pleased.

 

[jbrown329]

Oh poor Jon. Maybe we can take up a collection plate and send him one of these.

So what's the address? I'd like to send a small jar of lube.

omg. He's such a dramah queen.

And you know that they are squabbling over who gets to keep the dildoes.

This is the same queen who lost his shit over his failed hate rally against Muslims.

He's probably still sore that the GoFunMe campaign he set up that time to raise 10 million bucks for his family's 'security' got shut down 3 days after being started.

Gurrl just wants people to give him free shit.

 

[Kulindahr]

Yeah, I thought that was pretty funny, too.

I gather that there was a power struggle between Ammon Bundy and Brandon Curtiss, leader of the PPN.

Also funny was Curtiss' claim that the PPN were there to "de-escalate" the situation (which has been mostly peaceful), by adding a lot more guns to the mix, and threatening to block access to the site by law enforcement. Fortunately for everyone, there is NO law enforcement around to block.

From my reading of sources from the period, I think a good case could be made that the PPN would have been considered an armed gang in this instance by the Founding Fathers, being from out of stat and not invited by the local authorities. For that reason as well, their claim to want to "de-escalate" is ludicrous.

He should have just thanked everyone for the items supplied for target practice.

Idiot.

That's only because no one sent lube.

 

[T-Rexx]

That's only because no one sent lube.

Twitter user Max Temkin claims to have sent them a 55 gal drum of lube (arrives Jan 15 to 21).

https://twitter.com/MaxTemkin/status/687445755309641728

As evidence, he attached a screenshot of the order.

Now, they'll never leave.

 

[jbrown329]

OMG! The comments............. I've got tears streaming down my face and my belly hurts!!

 

[T-Rexx]

^ I like the comment, "I hope it will be enough."

The #DicksForDicks campaign seems to have been fairly successful.

 

[Kulindahr]

So has anyone sent some camo lace underwear?

The Bundy militia has now convened its own (extrajudicial) "grand jury" and has requested the arrest of Harney County judge Steven Grasty for "treason" because he "mocked" them by claiming he would bill them for the damages they have caused to the wildlife refuge.

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/whi...s-who-are-trying-to-shame-and-humiliate-them/

The militia keep trying new ways to provoke a response from authorities, so far without success.

I'm also wondering if the "mockery" to which they allude isn't somehow actually related to the #dicksfordicks meme on Twitter, which seems to have caused the militia to get a fair shipment of lube and dildos. They may be getting far more in the way of mockery than they are of actual support. (Which mockery probably wasn't helped by the Bundy's mom emailing supporters a request for socks and French vanilla coffee creamer. Yes, their mom is asking you to send them socks to keep their feet warm.)

 

[Kulindahr]

On a more serious note--

I've been reading some biographies of major individuals in the American Revolution. I'm coming to the conclusion that the Idaho group that showed up to "help", and the Bundys, represent the sort of ad hoc militias whose behavior nearly cost the colonies the war by their arrogance and meddling (they definitely were the cause of Canada remaining in British possession).

These guys are at least as bad as the old Green Mountain Boys -- of whom more than one professional Continental Army officer said that the American position would be much improved if the 'Boys' would go fight on the British side.

One of the militiamen has been arrested.

Kenneth Medenbach, 62, was arrested by Oregon State Police outside a Safeway market in Burns, Oregon for theft of two government vehicles. Both vehicles were recovered from the parking lot of the Safeway. It is not immediately clear why there has only been one arrest when two vehicles are reported stolen. Both vehicles were taken from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, where Medenbach had been part of the occupying militia.

Militiamen continuing to occupy the refuge have confirmed that Medenbach is one of their member. They have remarked that he was "doing something stupid" by taking the vehicles. The type of vehicles involved are not identified.
