Nevada Rancher Hilarity: The Tragic Death of Y'All Qaeda's Tarp Man - Page 70 - Politics and Economics

Are there incidents where the government has done a back burn and not compensated someone whose property was destroyed as a result?

So if tarp man wasn't shot, would he have been tried with attempted murder for almost hitting the agent?

wiper absolutely isn't getting remotely enough credit for that, either. Dude went full Mythbusters on the most inane myth I could imagine, but he was somehow prepared for exactly that idea.

I guess they told him the truth and lied to the media and courts. Makes sense.

The burn ban applies to starting the fire on the public land.

Ok here is the dead person in his own words as to why he has a beef (pun intended)

If I find something better to do than hear him ramble for 30 minutes (like rewatching the new Venture Bros) can I assume "his ranch" "his pasture" and "his reservoir" actually belong to the people of the United States?

It's an irritating derail from the enigma that was Tarp Man.

It's insulting to conspiracy nuts. d10 is just a bullet skeptic, he's seen the reports and the holes but just doesn't believe that primer can ignite gunpowder.

It's ****ing watching a re-run a TV show that wasn't good in the first place and is always ****ing on anyway. Except that now you're showing up in the common room and turning on ****ing Modern Family on so everybody has to watch.

DON'T MAKE ME WATCH MODERN FAMILY.

Yes I also call people racists.

Sure you are ok with that?

What the Hammonds did was reckless and criminal, but I agree that it wasn't terrorism and that terrorism laws shouldn't be used for that kind of thing.The sensible thing would be to try to get the law changed. You'd probably even get bipartisan support for it.

but that would be the sensible thing, using government to get what you want.

instead, this group made the decision to say "**** you usa, we are setting up our own government, come and get us".

it wasn't a prudent decision.

If you want to make anything less illegal you have to get the approval of the police, the police unions, the private prison system and the prison guard unions.

If you tried to propose rolling back that law Ted Cruz would claim you're encouraging ISIS to set forest fires

Speaking of prison lobby and presidential candidates

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poste...talking-about/

Quote:

Marco Rubio is one of the best examples of the private prison industry’s growing political influence, a connection that deserves far more attention now that he’s officially launched a presidential bid. The U.S. senator has a history of close ties to the nation’s second-largest for-profit prison company, GEO Group, stretching back to his days as speaker of the Florida House of Representatives. While Rubio was leading the House, GEO was awarded a state government contract for a $110 million prison soon after Rubio hired an economic consultant who had been a trustee for a GEO real estate trust. Over his career, Rubio has received nearly $40,000 in campaign donations from GEO, making him the Senate’s top career recipient of contributions from the company. (Rubio’s office did not respond to requests for comment.)

Prisons lobbying for tighter laws to get more people into prison is like
