One of my gripes with government today, is that NO ONE can make a decision. If a nail gets broken careers will end. A regional level administrator or agency head should be able to handle a piss ant situation like this and maybe write a two page report when it's over. Today in this country, an order to end this wreck will probably have to come from the mouth of Obamanation, and we all know what the likelihood of that is. One has a better chance of winning the lottery than seeing this ended by midnight today. Governed by pussies we are, I'll throw my internet support behind the Hammonds... And Kudos to Ammon Bundy for bringing this to the attention of the national media...the sad thing is, that the average joe blow won't take the time to either read nor understand WHY this has all taken place...as evidenced bu the lack of support here on the "fire".... The protesters may be idiots, but at least (some of them) ain't the government that's trying to disarm us, let in more Mexicans and Rags.

Hate to give the government any credit, but kind of smart to just wait it out, let them starve, and don't do anything that would turn anyone into a martyr. Heard one of them talking about how great it will be for the whole thing to be over and get back to his family. I hope these guys realize, whether they are right or wrong, that they're all going to prison.

This morning that was on the local news, one of the items they wanted was more coffee creamer. I think if you are going to pull something like this takeover, you can go without creamer for your coffee. Real hard core anarchists! Remind me of pajama boy in cowboy hats. Need Bristoe!  "Pass the creamer yonder Garth", rancher pines. "Creamer? Shute Deek, we ain't had that since Tuesdy". "No creamer?! Blazes. Go saddle up ol' Jess, I'm goin' back Nevada way sure nuff."

I can't see the feds allowing people just to funnel in supplies and what not to them.
Maybe they just figure the less they do, the less it gets talked about.
The next revolution will be televised..... More than likely KFWA, in HD too,maybe with "embedded" reporters on both sides! For those who don't know what KFWA is referencing, it's an interesting read in itself: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/gilscottheron/therevolutionwillnotbetelevised.htmlGeno

let a Kwik Kafe and Lance truck roll up Whatever those are, the nearest is probably 6 hours away. Portland maybe? Lance is an old-time maker of vending machine snacks...at least around here anyway. And Kwik Kafe is a coffee[convenience store type] vendor

One things for certain, when the TP runs dry, everyone heads home.

If these guys want the government to engage them, they should publish an online video of them BBQing one of those endangered owls at the observatory. Then, hell would be unleashed.

Best thing the Fed's can do is block the supply road, let them run out of coffee and bacon, make them walk out, and take their picture on the way.
Round them up later and prosecute as they see fit.
No need for some Waco type of outcome.

Cal, There, I fixed it for you! Geno PS, they're cowboys so know how to use a bandana, shirttail, sock, whatever when the TP runs out, but according to the earlier post they need more creamer. Sheeesh.

The feds don't have to do anything.
Sooner or later the press will get tired of the "non-event" and leave.
Sooner or later the protestors will tire of it themselves, and go home.
At that point, instead of a fortified firefight in the public eye, they can take them down one at a time. And if the guy gets shot, who is going say what went on?

The community held its second public "situation" meeting last night in the high school gym again with standing room attendance. Heckling or disruptive behavior was not to be tolerated. Local law enforcement, a County Commissioner, County Judge, and our State Representative gave brief reports, and the floor opened for comment. An occupier supporter (or perhaps more correctly one of their representatives) persisted in yelling out "constitutional" asides and was escorted out by enforcement after a second warning with the police action receiving a standing ovation.
To date there is not a sealed perimeter around the occupation and folks are still free to come and go. That may change as authorities are requesting that occupier support efforts please cease. Perhaps a hint that they may be starved out. There was also mention that the sands are passing through the hour glass, possibly a hint of a resolution time line.
Visits to any part of the refuge are now being discouraged. That's a disappointment to Cookie, as there is a black doe/fawn pair on the property that she's valiantly trying to get pictures of.
Latest news is the occupiers are using Refuge equipment to rip out perimeter fencing, rifling though offices and files, and continuing to threaten and harass local officials and law enforcement. Likely they have accrued enough charges with their actions that all will be classed as felons when the dust settles. Our local county administrators intend to hand them an invoice for the additional expenses being absorbed. Presently it amounting to about $75,000 a day if support for the state, federal, and military resources are included. Property damage may add some multiples to those figures.
There's near universal agreement from the community that the group vacate now. Our schools are back in session, but in a lock down mode. All doors are locked, and public entry is solely through front central and only with an escort.
The statement with perhaps the greatest impact last night, came from a 12 year old child, near collapsing in tears as she attempted to describe her concerns. Assurances that all is fine, don't cut it for her when acquaintances including law enforcement wives and kids are vacating the community.
Plans are for our Monday evening information sessions to continue until the issue is resolved. There were about a dozen media type persons with cameras at the session, but the dished up real-time transmission big rigs were notably absent. Could be they are down south. With our short attention spans, interest has likely waned outside of the community.
It was interesting to watch the Portland TV news this AM. The community responses garnered about 10 seconds of reporter time, while an occupier interview scored about a minute.
Have a good one,

Have a good one, Nice slant. I'll ask again, gov employee? BLM cop maybe? Something smells awful each time I read your interpretation of what's going on there.

But, I have seen liberals use their kids in grown-up political agendas before. It must not take much to scare some folks there. Near as I can tell, nobody has even had a gun pointed at them. Even accidentally.
