What Will The Militia Seize Next? Do They Plan To Keep 'This Site As A Permanent Compound?

The occupiers can come and go as they wish right now because there is no law enforcement active in the area. The site is 30 miles from nowhere. With warmer weather and spring will change the dynamics of the situation. The sanctuary will have to remain closed when the birds arrive and the public wants to use the facility. After all it is federal property.

What should be done if these militia entrench themselves even further? What if they begin to fortify the side to make it more defendable. And what if they invite other militias in to create a larger compound? They imply that if they are not given control they will stay indefinitely and make this seizer permanent.

This event is probably the beginning of such actions. It is likely there will be more.

Let them commune with nature in peace.

By the way, you did see that they sent out a call for people to mail them snacks, right? Bozos don't have enough food.

Now saying they'll meet with County residents and if the people want them out, they'll leave. They can declare mission accomplished, respect for the wishes of the people etc. And go home and get warm where there are Red Bull and Cheetos.

But it's certain they will make another stand somewhere else when they come up with a better plan.

Laughing at them, calling them Vanilla Isis, etc., must sting. If they figure out a way to exit gracefully, they should be arrested on the way home. Enough already.

Gas-masks won't help:
If the wind doesn't disperse the tear-gas, they won't be able to take off their gas-masks.
-> If they can't take off their gas-masks, they can't eat and drink.
-> 24 hours without water and they will collapse.

And every federal employee in our parks, forests and wildlife refuges is clearly a target.

The next one they take may not be conveniently unoccupied.
