'God wants us here’: More militiamen arrive at Malheur

[cali]

The same day Oregon Governor Kate Brown called the takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge “absolutely intolerable”, more militiamen from around the country drove in truck by truck to join the cause.

Group leader Ammon Bundy says there is much work to be done, and that’s why Wednesday’s regularly scheduled press conference was canceled.

“We came here to work and we are working,” Bundy said. “We have crews that are working and our teams that are working on.”

Still, the heavily armed militants believe their cause is not only just, but an act of divine intervention.

“God wants us here, there’s a sense that’s beckoning and it comes from heaven,” militiaman Kelly Gneiting said. “We’re doing what’s right, we’re doing what the founding fathers would do because we’re inspired by God, also.”

1. Working at what? Just...

shoot the bastids and be done with it.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

10. Working at what? Hey, it ain't easy ...

going to town for twinkies and beer,

hitting utility company cameras with bats,

driving through barbed wire fences with government trucks,

playing euchre,

looking macho.

[pinboy3niner]

22. The Snack Crew and the Dildo Crew really have their hands full! nt

[phantom power]

17. exactly

what the fuck are they doing??

And how long is the FBI planning to allow them to do it? Whatever "it" is.

[Initech]

25. They're trolling us hard, that's one thing for sure!

[Eugene]

2. :facepalm:

God wants this?!?! Everybody else wants them gone.
That "work" they are doing is to wreck the refuge.
I'm afraid this will only end with removal by force.
These are Jihadis and no amount of talk will persuade
them to stop.

3. With more of them arriving maybe the gov is waiting

to arrest and put away as many of them as they can. They need to be arrested.

[maxsolomon]

24. really doubt that.

I think they plan to wait them out.

[mindem]

4. Crazies

If this was an Occupy Wall Street group or a group of citizens blocking a pipeline they would have been arrested and hauled off ages ago. Groups like Bundy's, in stating their actions are being directed by God, are breaking the 3rd Commandment.

[CanonRay]

5. Apparently everyone wants them gone

except God. Even the good folks of Harney County, for whom they are supposedly doing this, say throw them out.

[Vinca]

6. Why isn't access blocked to this place?

These guys are like cockroaches. They'll just keep coming and coming and coming. If they're still there in the spring they'll probably have cattle grazing all over the place and - since it's a bird sanctuary - the birds will become barbeque. Get them out!

[tanyev]

7. So God wants them all together in one spot, huh?

Maybe it's not for the reason they think....

[Takket]

8. The situation is getting worse, not better.......

look, I don't want the military turned on any citizens, but the strategy or neither active nor passive efforts being made to hope this just goes away is not working.

Shut down the roads, arrest anyone going in or out for trespassing, no more letting them terrorize the local citizens, shut off all the utilities/services, no more "snack" packages. They can stay in the refuge until they starve or surrender, but this is beyond absurd now.

9. Thank goodness. Dildo supplies had to have been running low. n/t

[B Calm]

11. How many total are there? 10, 20, 30, 150?

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Are all our drones in the Middle East? I want these yahoos

gone!

[Oilwellian]

13. Please help the animals

[annabanana]

14. “We have crews that are working".. WHAT THE BLOODY HELL

ARE THEY DOING TO OUR LAND??

[Solly Mack]

15. Bother.

Idiots.

[Rex]

16. Well I talked to God and he said you are wrong.

He said you are all a bunch of crazy gun humpers. I guess the feds want to get all the armed crazies in one fishbowl.

[pampango]

18. God is great! Is that a translation from another group's frequent exhortation? n/t

[Wounded Bear]

19. Well....

Sir, the truth is, I talk to God all the time, and, no offense, but He never mentioned you.

[cwydro]

20. This has gone on long enough.

I'm beginning to think the Feds have no plan whatsoever.

[phantom power]

21. kick

[killbotfactory]

23. So, God's a dimwitted asshole. Good to know. nt

[Initech]

26. No dipshits, god does not want you there.
