Shots and a death from a traffic stop over there.

Reports are sketchy right now, but apparently the head Bundy and a bunch of his cronnies got in a confrontation with the FBI; shots fired; one person dead: http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/26/us/oregon ... index.html

Meanwhile, the militia has been trying to convene their own justice system to attempt to arrest local officials.

Does Bundy think he might be Bane?

Can't wait for people to ask if Al Sharpton will come to town to defend innocent people killed by law enforcement.

A number of my South Dakota family members have been email forwarding about these chumps for weeks, hyping up their usual "armed populace as deterrent to government" bullshit.

I emailed them just now: here's what an armed populace achieves against an armed government.

If there's a movie about this, H. Jon Benjamin plays Ammon Bundy, right?

The Mormons have a proud history of giving in to federal power. We should just be happy that this time they didnt butcher a wagon train before hand.

Its also heartening to see that every once in a while, the feds learn something. No innocents were killed, and all it took was some patience. Unfortunately, when this incident can not be leveraged for an increased budget, the lesson may be promptly unlearned.

Not really shocked that the one guy who died was the most ridiculous of them all: the one who lost his foster kids over the occupation (who were, allegedly, his only source of income), who wrote a post-apocalyptic conspiracy novel in which militiamen lynched public officials and law enforcement, and who said publicly that he'd rather die than get arrested. Every life is precious yada yada yada but it really seemed like he went up there to die.

So did they get everybody out if there or are there still some people in there?

*edit - apparently there are still people in the building. Also, they are claiming the guy that was killed was cooperating and had his hands up when he was shot. Doubtful.

An old friend wrote:
Oh sure a buncha thugs tear up a city street in "a bs protest" and if the cops so much as fart the country wants them hung but if a officer shoots a peace full white protester for no good reason nobody cares

Thanks for sharing, [name]. That was insightful. Just a few notes:

1. The word 'thugs' is just not catching on as a slang term for African Americans. Perhaps find a known racial slur to use instead.

2. I appreciate the support you show for Black Lives Matter protestors by including the pejorative term some might attach to their protests ("bs") in quotes. Distancing yourself from that dismissal of reasonable grievances is wise.

3. I'm not sure why you mention the size of police officer genitalia here, but I support your right to be interested in this subject. What I do not support is your apparent sexualizing of farts. That's just weird and I am judging you for it.

4. I cannot agree with you that nobody cares. I'm sure his former foster kids are dealing with some kind of emotion in response to this. The world will experience joy at the excess peace he was full of spilling out for all to share. Also, on a personal note, I find it pretty amusing.

I've never had a Facebook account. That exchange was forced upon me via group text.
