We should have killed everyone involved with the Occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and the Bundy Standoff of 2014. We have repeatedly created a permission structure for these folks and the only solution is to put them down.

It was a huge mistake/miscalculation when the Bundy snipers at the standoff had their weapons aimed at law enforcement and Federal agents, and nothing happened. Lethal force was warranted and look at where we are now.

I wanna like this so bad but also I need my job

I wholeheartedly second this.

Unfortunately most of these groups and conspiracies are also inspired by Ruby Ridge, Waco, etc and the fallout from them important to how they responded to this situation. So it’s kind of a screwed either way situation.

Everyone involved?

It's silly how it's fair to kill someone with a car for jaywalking (or legally crossing tbh), someone stealing from you, driving away from cops, etc. but taking over Federal govt property as a wealthy white dude? Would you like some extra representation to go with your armed resistance?

Man, the Malheur Wildlife Refuge standoff was...completely insane and the fact that we continue to tolerate this nonsense seems to only providing more fuel for them. However, Waco and Ruby Ridge might provide some evidence for why we've taken a...less hands on approach.

The last time I said this to someone (recently) they acted shocked 🙄

I am pretty sure I am, if not prohibited, then extremely discouraged, from liking this post!

I have always been saying that WACO was not a mistake
