Standoff in Nevada, Is a "Range War" on the horizon? - Page 25 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

kurto- I imagine this was probably floating around the deep dark parts of the wingnutosphere before it got to Drudge/Fox News.

What I don't understand is how these crazy people go off and live in a ****ing camp in Nevada for a month. Don't they have jobs, and family, and ****? How do you tell your boss you need to take 23 consecutive sick days because you gotta go engage in some armed insurrection?

In those states I imagine they have Patriot Leave. Of course if your patriot leave is going to be more then 2 weeks I imagine you have to get a signature from an approved Patriot.

Regarding the family- considering they were going to put their wives on front to take the bullets, it seems they brought the families along.

It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of those patriots are receiving disability checks from the same Federal government whose tyranny has so enraged them.

they probably got disabled by getting shot, blown up by IED's, and ambushed by foreigners their government sent them overseas to kill

A lot of them did look like hobos, I can admit that.

But if I say a large % of Occupy looked like drug using, derelict, Greyhound drifters which is what most of them looked like. I get flamed.

Only because Occupy had nothing whatsoever to do with Welfare Ranchers in Nevada.

If Occupy didn't look like hobos, Silver would've been: "look at these hypocrites, complaining about income inequality but they don't even look that poor"

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.

Quick question, you've been out of school and working for what, three years now? You've stacked teh silverzzzz, Ive only been investing in crazy fiat options.

Given that using fiat to buy teh silver on any given day is trivial on the scale we're talking about, how much more silver do I have than you at this point? Ballpark 2x?

Lol silverbug
lol destroying his own money for zero reason

EDIT: actually 2x might be low.

All these wannabe cowboys demanding government handouts to pull themselves up by their fake snakeskins are just thieves by a different name.

The range war is spreading: Utah residents square off with BLM over closed ATV trail:

Quote:

A band of Utah residents rode all-terrain vehicles onto federally managed public land Saturday to protest the Bureau of Land Management closing off the area...the protesters and their supporters say the agency has unfairly closed off a prized area, cheating them of outdoor recreation

Oh no! I'm not allowed to ride my ATV in a protected area "known for its archaeological ruins"!! TYRANNY!!

If you make it all the way to paragraph 13, you learn that hiking and horseback riding are still allowed, it's just motorized vehicles that are prohibited. Thanks, Obama!

Also this buried near the end:

Quote:

Earlier this week, two men wearing hooded sweatshirts brandished a handgun at a BLM worker driving an agency vehicle, holding up a sign that read, “You need to die.”

Hiking, People's sacred lands, Archaeological ruins, all just fancy liberal code words for environmental extremism to give money like suckers to Al Gore.

The Vice show on the Nevada standoff was pretty good. Does anyone have a rec for a book worth reading on the topic? I'd rather read something that is real rather than ZOMG they're all Nazis
