They apparently draped a Gadsden flag over the corpses of the cops and have an alleged connection to the Bundy ranch dispute. So, yeah. Good work, libertarianism! Again just really solid culture built around that whole philosophy, all that rhetoric about how ****ing lightbulb regulations are tyranny was a solid tactic.

After a brief lull in the gunfire, it appeared that the female shot the male suspect and then took her own life, he added.

Thank goodness this woman was armed and able to end the carnage. Your move, gun-grabbers!

The LV R-J has this explanation of the ending:

The female shooter then shot her accomplice at least once before shooting herself in the head, a law enforcement official said. The wounded man then shot and killed himself. Their identities have not been released by police.

Which, man, how enraging would it be to have to suicide yourself after already deciding that you got to be the "murder" half of a murder-suicide pact? That's clearly the better half, he presumably negotiated that half, and then this woman screws that up somehow, still shoots him just nonfatally, and he has to do it himself? YOU HAD ONE JOB.jpg

Oh there are also unconfirmed reports that the dead civilian was a CCW person who tried to engage the shooters. The only thing that can stop 3 good guys with guns is 2 bad guys with guns, just like I always say.

Really? I'll take the "get murdered" side. Looks like we're a ready-made team if you ever decide you don't like progressive taxation.

No, no, maybe I worded that wrong. The getting murdered half is way better than the half that has to commit murder and then commit suicide. I assume everyone would want that half. I mean, even for starting a white supremacist revolution, if someone volunteered for the back end I'd think there's something a little off about them. Like maybe they've secretly always been looking for the chance to kill me.

Wasn't there a mission in GTA IV where you use a helicopter to break in to a prison?

You're working with a massive false premise here. It's much, much, much easier to go phone to youtube than anything else.

Just played this yesterday, you're breaking into the functionally CIA/FBI headquarters in what's basically a tower/office building.

I was just thinking that the best way to destabilize these militia groups is to just plant stuff on a few individual members making it look like they are undercover federal agents. A signed photo of Obama with a "thanks for all the information" note would do wonders.

Bobby Clownshoes Jindal continues to work hard to **** his state in the ass wherever possible

Quote:

The Louisiana governor might have also effectively undercut ongoing claims against BP for the 2010 Gulf oil spill.

Rejecting the advice of his own attorney general and dozens of legal scholars, Louisiana governor and potential presidential contender Bobby Jindal effectively blocked a New Orleans-area levee board from suing oil and gas companies for allegedly destroying the state’s coasts – and in so doing, may have also derailed state and local claims against BP for damages and tax revenue lost following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

“This bill will help stop frivolous lawsuits and create a more fair and predictable legal environment, and I am proud to sign it into law,” the Republican Jindal declared in a statement Friday. “It further improves Louisiana’s legal environment by reducing unnecessary claims that burden businesses so that we can bring even more jobs to our state.”

Don Briggs, president of the Louisiana Oil & Gas Association, was also quoted in the statement distributed by the governor’s office, hailing the measure as a “huge victory for the oil and gas industry.”
