Standoff in Nevada, Is a "Range War" on the horizon? - Page 7 - Politics version 7.0 -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

So the feds backed down and the protesters won??? Suuuuuuhweeeeeet.

I mean, I understand that these hobos who went out there to back Bundy get under your guys' skin (for whatever ****ed up reason).

But I will never understand how most of you support the corrupt feds.

What I'd like to know is........what has changed in the world that makes people scoff at these people who are going out there and bringing their guns for JUST intimidation purposes in this scenario.

I mean, you guys all seem appalled that citizens would bring guns and POTENTIALLY use them. But at the same time you don't say anything negative towards a bunch of federal officers there with guns, snipers, etc surrounding the guys' property and forcefully taking his cattle. And not a peep of negativity towards the feds from most of you.

But even if they ended up using the guns...why would that be such a huge deal???

Why are you guys so against people who are being trampled by an ever increasing oppressive government?

When say 100 years ago or 200 years ago guns would have been used and it wouldn't have even been noteworthy, and most if not all people would have been behind the people like this.

How does the militia morons bringing their guns "just for intimidation purposes" make it better?

I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that the government is ever-increasing oppression. I mean, for women, racial minorities and gays (together most of the population ldo) oppression has definitely decreased.

You're insane if you think "most, if not all" people would have supported armed uprisings in the past.

The public lands belong to all of us. Thus, the ranchers should get off the land if they have no right to it. Do they not respect private property? What if an illegal alien started raising cattle on their land? The cattle should be sold to help pay down the U.S. debt.

Now, could we give the ranchers commons access to the land, yes. I think we do that with sheep in Nevada there is some 800 mile grazing route for sheep I believe. Ran into it once.

Most states it is illegal to walk on most parts of the State because it is privately owned. You only have the legal right to walk the streets which is kind of sad.

I figured out Silverman's "you hate the poor" nonsequiter. Its just like when conservatives say "liberals are the REAL racists". Its doesn't actually mean anything, it just keeps you scratching your head long enough for them to change yhe subject.

And how does having SNIPERS with their crosshairs on family members at some podunk ranch seem totally fine to you? And completely escape any criticism from you?

I have no problem with you saying "these riffraff shouldn't have brought their guns" that can potentially escalate a situation...

But you say NOTHING about the feds bringing a bunch of armed agents out there with SNIPERS too. Totally cool, right?!

Your racism is the subtext you bring to everything you do in this forum. LDO.

I'm glad to see that it ended without bloodshed, but this is only going to embolden the "militia" people.

Me too about the bloodshed.

I'll go ahead an predict it's likely the militia people will end up mad and feeling tricked, unless the gov is really gonna let that guy the pay money owed in armed bellicose. The gov has been waiting what? 15 years, they can wait until the tantrum is over and potential for violence is lower.

A shootout in the desert between the feds and "militia" just isn't a good look. The Feds "retreating into the shell"

is better than bloodshed.

I went to infowars. The comment section delivers! They are rallying the "troops" and patting each other on the back.

Edit: I'm thinking about smoking a whole chicken this week.

You must either have an enormous bowl or some really tiny chickens.

I'd smoke two in case The Hound shows up. Can I send this message to infowars without actually going there?

NSFW (or chickens)

Heavily armed Feds and snipers went there and surrounded the farm first bro.

The protesters came afterwards.

Get your timeline straight.

It doesn't bother me, but I do found the majority of their viewpoints funny. Alex Jones doesn't believe half the **** he says. It's all about making money.

Silverman, Is the juice powder any good?
