How will history books call the Oregon stand-off?

[DetlefK]

"Boston Tea Party" has sich a nice ring to it. It sounds good. Even though it wasn't a party and it wasn't about tea.



So, how about "The great Malheur French Vanilla Coffee Creamer Siege of 2016"?
"Your gramps was there, kids. They had arrested our leaders but they hadn't broken our spirits. The FBI had us surrounded and laid siege to our fortress, ready to crush freedom under their boots once and for all. The cold hand of death was upon us, but we were willing to face it like true freedom-loving patriots. We were determined to hold out, but a man gotta eat and drink. When we ran out of French Vanilla Coffee Creamer... "




Any other ideas?

1. blip.

[lame54]

2. The Dildo Ins-Erection

[pinboy3niner]

33. The Dildo Uprising

Or A Snacky Thing Happened on the Way to the Penitentiary.

[padfun]

3. That is something that seditionists would write

The real story will be something about useless trash destroying public property and receiving tons of dildo, and bags of dicks. or maybe they will skip that part, but these yahoo's didn't really seem very bright and would be an embarrassment if someone came out in favor of this group.


I really don't think very many Americans were rooting FOR this group. Maybe .001% of the population. Even FOX didn't look favorably on it. And that is saying a lot.

[CommonSenseDemocrat]

4. No mention

[gladium et scutum]

19. Agree

never make the History texts used in any school in this country.

[B Calm]

5. Right-Wing Terrorist Group take over a closed for the season fish and wildlife area.

6. The Raid of the Dildo Bunch

..

[linuxman]

7. Probably little mention.

In the grand scheme of things it boiled down to armed loitering.

[RandiFan1290]

8. The Gay Milk Rebellion!

David was telling us about the "gay milk" agenda and its destruction of the pineal gland yesterday morning as he sucked down a cigarette.

They also marveled at the "sunset rising"



That was comedy GOLD!

[Eleanors38]

16. But RandiFan, irony is for everyone!

[moondust]

9. Somebody will romanticize it for profit.

Make a movie for rednecks similar to "American Sniper." Finicum can be the "martyr." Wouldn't surprise me if somebody is already writing a screenplay.

[flamingdem]

35. AMERICAN SNACKER

I win the thread.

[moondust]

36. Zing! You win!!!

[oberliner]

10. Most Americans don't know/care that it's happening

Even the news junkies are hearing about nothing but Trump and friends.

[meow2u3]

11. The Bundy Insurrection? nt

[Eleanors38]

12. Depends on who is approving the texts.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. What Oregon standoff?

(that's how they will treat it)

[dembotoz]

14. Text books tend to come out of Texas for reasons I still do not understand

So depending on Nov election it will be glorified either some or as the awakening of the new 1000 yr amurika

[LanternWaste]

15. The Great Bloom County Snake Massacre

[flying rabbit]

25. +1 nt

[PufPuf23]

17. IMHO it will be forgotten as a non-event in not much time.

No laws will be written nor policies changed,

Some of the "camp" items of satire may survive.

[JI7]

18. If will probably be mostly remembered by the native americans

[cwydro]

20. It was on something like page eight of my local paper.

Meh.

History won't care.

[Des Moines De Mon]

21. Big Little Men

But there won't be a Dustin Hoffman movie. Or miniseries. Or sitcom (now that I'd watch!)

[Orangepeel]

22. There's probably a Wikipedia page...

Legit history books? I dunno about that.

[maxrandb]

23. The Bag of Dicks Revolt n/t

[Jim Beard]

24. Maybe we should slide on down to Clark county, NV. and collect on that

past due bill that old man Bundy while FOX News is occupied with Donald Trump.

[rurallib]

26. probably won't even make the end of the year highlights next december

let alone a real history book

[nadinbrzezinski]

31. I disagree

it will make it into a history of the militia movement... yes, there is such an animal

Or a second edition (greatly revised) of "Fire Across the Plain." That is a 1990s study into the militia movement.

[peacebird]

27. Cosplaytriots Complete Clusterfork, when Sovereign Citizen idiots believed their keyboard warrior

clan would rise up as a real revolution, when people on the other side could fire actual weapons that can draw blood, without the painless do overs of World of Warcraft...

[Codeine]

28. Snack Hawk Down is a brilliant name, IMHO.

Kudos to the nameless genius behind that one.

[rustydog]

29. The rise and fall of Vanilla Isis?

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. "The whimper heard around the block"

[Quantess]
