Oregon standoff (probably) ended

[RobbyPants]

Authorities seal off Oregon refuge after leaders of occupation arrested. 1 killed in gunfire.

The area is now surrounded with one exit left unblocked. The remaining militants have been told that now is the time to leave. From the last I've heard, some women have left, but the remaining people haven't decided what they're going to do.

I'd imagine there will eventually be tons of video of the traffic stop altercation that lead to the one whackadoodle getting whacked.

The LEOs involved on this have been pretty good about making sure it's not another Waco.

I'm betting they had bodycams on anything in a uniform to cover their asses.....

Ah, good times at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Considering that "malheur" means misfortune, how else could it go?

Well, that answers question from the World News thread. There has been gunfire. Someone is dead. Time for play time is over.

And, they should have been blocking off exits and trying to starve them out weeks ago.

I wonder how that dickhead Bundy feels about his actions getting someone killed. My guess, he probably thinks his cause was worth someone else's life, just not his own.

It's a martyr for the cause.

From what I can tell, it's all the Feds fault someone died and it was a murder. They bear no responsibility at all. That's total bullshit of course, but that seems to be their view.

That's what they said...they're being peaceful and were only going to use their guns to defend themselves against the tyrannical government because of Obama.

Really, I think Oregon's governor (governess ) is just as much to blame.

I would have been screaming from the beginning they needed to leave instead of charactistic

I thought she had been complaining the Feds were not taking action. It's federal land so not sure she could have forced the issue if she wanted to.

From what I understand, Fincium was on record saying he wasn't going to surrender. That seems it would only end in him being forcibly taken down/out or him getting his way.
