Those Darn Bundys At It Again!

[piscator]

Yeah, they seemed to be in each other's crosshairs a bit. What the fuck was that cop doing in the treeline?

He was putting the "L" in the ambush...

[pErvinalia]

Amblush?

[piscator]

If you got 10 guys and want to spring an ambush, you block the way with 3 or 4 of your lads and put the rest on one flank or the other. Called an "L-shaped ambush", or "Hair, Teeth, and Eyeballs".
An L-shaped ambush puts the enemy in a world of shit, but only for the few more seconds they have to live before they're mutilated by free fire from 2 directions.

[pErvinalia]

That wasn't an L. It was parallel lines. For an 'L', the guy would have needed to be in front of Jimbob in the direction of travel just off the road.

[piscator]

There was no getting around that roadblock in a pickup...

Mr Finicum showed exceedingly poor judgement, unless it was his goal to die for his 15 minutes.

The weirdest part about the entire circus act is that this thread is closing in on 250 replies and not a single one has been authored by our chief resident lolbertardian. Quite rmarkable, seeing it's about militias fighting a tyrannous government.

Plausible deniability...

The silence is not at all plausible. See edit.

He may be a player in this scenario...

I remarked on that earlier. I suspect he's trying to stay off the fbi watchlist.

Too busy then? I don't think so. Since Piscator started this thread not quite a month ago Seth has found the time to post 573 times in other threads. I am mystified by how resolutely he has stayed away from posting in this one. After all, it's an issue close to his heart: Militias opposing tyrannous government. That is precisely what has been happening at the Malheur wildlife sanctuary since the 2nd of January, and yet not as much as a peep from the champion of militias as essential tools (yes, tools) against tyranny. Go figure.

[pErvinalia]

It's almost certainly as I said. Hrs been applying for this police job. The last thing he'd need would be attention like this.

Very plausible indeed. Although his application is for a desk job. and although many members of the outfit he is applying for the position may sympathise with his views, the powers that make the decisions on such applications may not be so enthusiastic about the idea of a legitimately elected government being overthrown by a bunch of Bundyites. Now that I think of it, Seth has been altogether silent about the virtues and necessity of militias in recent times.

[mistermack]

It's funny.
These right-wingers like collector are the sort who argue black-and-blue that cops are justified in killing suspects, when the suspects are black teenagers, and move their hands towards a pocket, when ordered not to.
Now that a white man gets the same treatment, it's an "execution".

And these white men had already shown the world their weapons, and declared their intention to use them.
