[Live feed concluded.]
Be careful listening to this, because even though I doubt these lunatics really want to commit suicide by FBI, there could still be violence — because they’re ranting like meth heads.
This live stream is being posted to YouTube by a fellow nutjob, and they’re currently on the phone with Nevada assemblywoman Michele Fiore.
How fucked up are these people that Michele Fiore is the sane one
I can’t even listen. Been a long enough day dealing with enough crazy shit lol.
Fiore: “They cannot fire on you when the world is watching. There’s a camera in my face right now; the world is watching.”
— Judy Thomas (@judylthomas) February 11, 2016
Ummmm….the world isn’t “watching” anything, some people are listening. A camera in YOUR face doesn’t mean squat.
The dude who set up the stream is sane, but even then he is waaaaaay out there.
She keeps saying they’re law-abiding citizens. These people live in a fantasy world.
David is obviously mentally ill.
Michele Fiore has cameras trained on her right now. She’s desperately trying to look sane.

No, but that’s the important thing. She wants to ride this to Congress.
Wonder what happens if one of the four says fuck it and tries to surrender? I bet he’d get shot in the back by his own side.
If you ever had any doubt how absolutely bat fuck insane and paranoid and nuts (and did I say insane yet) these people are, let this absolutely insane livestream remove all doubt

re: #5 No Country For Old Haters

For these people, being a “law abiding citizen” is a fundamental personal trait, not something contingent on the nature of their actions. Just like how for them America’s status as an exceptional, indispensable nation is our birthright, not a reflection of how we interact with the world.

They’ve had days to negotiate their surrender, but they refused because they thought that Ruby Ridge and Waco meant the FBI wouldn’t just drive up there and confront them directly. That they could sit on their asses until the FBI agreed to whatever cockamamie demands they could dream up. IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!
Sandy is nuts, thinks she can walk out of there with her weapon and go home.

I’m in a similar position, although the complete failure at the Bundy ranch was enough to cause anyone to lose faith.
However, it appears that law enforcement has realized that 90+% of the battle in cases like this is public relations. As long as the idiots aren’t a real threat to others, they can be allowed to make asses themselves to the point that their eventual rounding up is met with nearly universal approval.

They are in despair. They thought they were the spearhead of a revolution, and now they realize they are alone, and their only option is to surrender and go to prison.
I’m sure they have fantasies about statues being built of them and kids learning about them in school in some post CW2 Amerika.
Bright lights coming from the refuge, uncharacteristic. But now they were all just shut off abruptly. Ambulance on standby #Oregonstandoff

They see themselves as statutes ala the end of Red Dawn, not realizing that you have to die to be a martyr.

Citing the movie Braveheart. Haha.

Now they’re quoting “Braveheart.”

Braveheart, yet another film that too many folks think was a factual telling of history.
This feels like the best/worst episode of Coast to Coast AM ever. I keep expecting Art Bell to interrupt someone.
FBI agent tells occupiers the militia abandoned them, Sandy Anderson claims. @VoteFiore says to ignore them. #Oregonstandoff

Someone should let them know that if the FBI were as bad as they claim, they’d have long since done a repeat of the British Army after The ‘45. Sheesh.

I’m pretty sure interfering in a standoff like this is a serious crime.

Braveheart… Jesus Christ. These people. “We’ll fight like Braveheart while listening to that guy Jethro Tull. I love his stuff!”
I’m going to bed. My newsfeed will tell me how it ended (if it does end) in the morning. Right now the squatters are spring loaded in the “Scared-Angry” position, and I hope that nobody makes any rash actions.
If anybody inside the compound fires, or even raises a weapon toward LEOs, then it’s going to end like the the last scene in Devils Rejects. I sincerely hope that it doesn’t come to that, even if it will mean that they will be come “Political Prisoners of a Corrupt Regime” (anticipating the spin from the RWNJs)
Night all.

They probably wouldn’t have turned one down at Valley Forge.
This is slowly turning into the Hillbilly Variety Hour.
All the crazy shit they’re saying is completely consistent with what 3%s and sovereign citizens articulate, liberally salted with various conspiracy theories that have been pimped by right-wing media sources.
The people on that mountain top are not crazy, they’re just acting in a manner consistent with the worldview they’ve accepted, and been encouraged to incorporate. The remainder, now that the sly and pragmatic ones have slipped off, are the truly desperate—the ones who need to be that angry, to be that important. People will do awful, stupid things to preserve their sense of self-worth.

Do the Bundys then send them a letter saying, “Face it. You fucked up. You trusted us.”?
