    Neither have I, nor did any reporter check it out. We only got the short cut report about "Militia's.
    However, I agree, their plan is poor. Damned if I know about their cause.

    For those that do not understand how this situation began, here is a very good 20 min recap.



    I dare anyone to watch this and still hold onto the spoon fed horse shit that the media feeds us.

    I kind of agree with Denny here. They are activists and they have a cause, albeit ignorant and misguided to the point of absurdity. But so what? Calling them activists or calling their actions civil disobedience doesn't change anything (anymore than calling them militia, or not, changes anything). Seems like an awful lot of concern in this thread with labels.

    That actually isn't true. There have been plenty of stories about their history and beliefs.

    Do you mean the stories that call them a militia?

    The person who made this video seems very angry and very crazy. Not sure how much truth is actually there.

    yeah, I'm bothered by this incident but it is what it is. I've had my rant..hope the locals in Burns can return to their normal lives soon.

    So... black people in the 60s shouldn't have marched in Selma because: 1) it's not court, 2) they should have left the community in peace?

    I'm being even handed about this. They didn't go into the place shooting their guns or even pointing a gun at anyone. The building was locked and empty and they did break in. But lefties used to break into the dean's office at universities to have sit ins...

    What these guys have done is raised awareness of their cause.

    The FBI should simply lay siege to the place until they come out on their own. And they will, it's just a matter of time.

    I lived in the midwest. The beef was corn fed. When I moved to the west coast, the beef tasted different. It's grass fed. They graze on open range. When I lived in Pleasanton, it was "home on the range." Lots of pickup trucks with gun racks and hitching posts in front of the stores downtown. In the summer, the grass turned yellow/white as far as the eye could see. The cattle weren't restricted to a yard or anyone's ranch in particular.

    I don't think these guys slaughtered a single buffalo. That's a whole different topic.

    As I remember, they didn't steal vehicles and weren't armed in Selma.

    Poor comparison in my view Denny...really poor comparison of events

    ok..enlighten me. I have been following this from day one. Everything he states is correct as far as I can tell. I dont see this guys as crazy what so ever. In fact I would make more of a comparison to the occupy movement than the passing nod.

    so be honest, Sly, did you watch it? I watch a lot of this guys stuff. I do not always agree with his take but he does a great job of bringing all of the information available, not just the presses slant.

    What would have happened if the FBI never showed up in Burns?

    (They shouldn't have).

    Awareness? Yes. Support? No.

    I believe that's exactly what they've done so far.

    Indeed! No a single press article even began to reveal the issues. They did rush to use call them Militia though.

    Didn't watch it. Probably won't watch it. Someone who posts new videos everyday with the titles "The Truth about..." isn't someone I'm going to spend much time listening to.
