Not if it's against the law, man.

He was talking about things happening HERE.   Same thread/different subject.   

You know how we roll around here.

You won't let me down.

I just know it.

That's sort of the whole point, wrench- it isn't about you

[Chief Grey Bear]

It appears the gag order can be lifted. 

There has been an arrest at the local Safeway.

Wrench, I can't believe you're really being this dense.  Seems to me that ANYBODY would understand that what they have done in breaking into and occupying a federal building (armed or not) is breaking some kind of law, not to mention tearing down fences and maybe a few other things they've done.  They haven't been arrested because they are well armed and appear to be looking for an armed confrontation that will garner them (or whoever is left alive) kudos from all the anti-government militia groups that are just looking for another Waco/Ruby Ridge fiasco that they can scream about.  They were encouraged to do what they are doing because old man Bundy basically got away with thumbing his nose at the government and becoming an anti-government hero.  Will some of them eventually be arrested?  I certainly hope so, but I ain't counting on it, because the government is walking on eggshells around these guys, apparently not wanting to give them any kind of martyrdom.  The whole thing makes me sick.  I'm a firm believer in the rule of law, and the law is not on their side.  

Several of us have pointed out why we are concerned about this.  Like the previous Bundy fiasco, it's setting a precedent for others to do what these guys are doing, and sooner or later it's going to be some piece of public land that WE want to be able to continue to use.  But even without that, it's just not right.  I don't trust or like everything the government does, but I refuse to believe that things are so bad that it's time for armed rebellion.

The longer they're left alone, the sillier they look. Heck, when they arrived they looked like they all just finished a modeling gig for Eddie Bauer. Now they're being showered with daily fedex deliveries from their fans;
