Stop calling them the Oregon Militia

[edhopper]

most if not all are not from Oregon.


It gives them even the slightest bit of legitimacy.

1. The proper name is paramilitaries. Or paras for short. (nt)

[edhopper]

2. I prefer

Terrorists or Seditionists.

[stone space]

7. Right. But there's an accepted name for those that is used throughout the Americas.

Another name for Paramilitaries is Death Squads.

It's just what these sort of armed groups are called.

They are not uncommon in my wife's country, unfortunately.

I'm not sure that everybody realizes just how dangerous these groups are.

They are talking about setting up courts, which tells me that they might get into kidnapping.

We need to face the fact that what has happened in many Latin American countries is starting to pop up here.

Using proper terminology for something that is not a new phenomena in this Continent helps to make the connections, IMNSHO.

9. The 'judge' they have supporting them is a real piece of work.

He (and the insurrectionists in Oregon) are a part of the 'sovereign citizen' movement.

I don't think that there is a wacko conspiracy theory out there that they don't subscribe to.

His Facebook page is worth a visit, if only for the 'photos'...most are scans/copies of the 'legal' documents he has filed. These people don't just need to serve time - they are in desperate need of intensive psychiatric care, also.

Completely delusional - and they have a LOT of heavily armed followers.

something more like RW land grabbing obtuse low IQ hypocrites but that's a bit clumsy to say. I'll settle for homeland or domestic terrorists. I agree about the Oregon part, if a criminal crosses into and continues their spree in my state, there are still just a criminal, not say an "Ohio" criminal.

Edit-should have added "inbred".

[Coventina]

and asked this person what the consensus is about these Bundy people.

"They think they're all nuts."
