Looks as if David Fry is now running the show and the little shit is actually upping the demands.
If the others have any sense they will leave him to his fate since he appears to have a death wish.

1. What an idiot.

2. drone them

3. I think I'll go rob a bank and they demand they simply let me go.

[BillZBubb]

6. But you have to give the loot back.

[uppityperson]

11. My example want quite right.

I'd have to break into a closed bank, shuffle through their computers, state loudly publicly often that if never leave and will shoot anyone who tries to make me, and then say "never mind. I'll go if you promise to not charge me with anything."

Come on guys, actions have consequences. Next time I get pulled over for speeding I'll try the ", let me go and no one gets hurt" ploy.

Seriously, wtf.

4. We don't negotiate with terrorists.

The FBI should remove them. Forcibly if necessary.

[leftynyc]

5. How about

Lay down your arms, come out with your hands where I can see them and maybe I wont shoot you. Will that work for them?

7. Like the FBI is going to go, "oh, well then, OK all you armed insurrectionists can now go free"

Does dragging around an arsenal of fire-power 24/7 really warp a person's sense
of perspective that much? Spare me.

8. Which RW AM radio hatemonger host is he trying to impress?

The joke is on him. They will have no further use for him after he fades out of the headlines.

[phantom power]

9. Now that they've sealed off access, the FBI can wait them out

They've got no bargaining leverage, and nowhere to go.

[malaise]

10. Hehehehehhe

By the time they're finished with him, he and anyone else stupid enough to follow him will know what it means to jump from the Frying Pan into the fire.

12. federal crime, so shouldn't this guy be asking Obama?

ofc, if a republican wins the GE, these assclowns will probably get their pardons next year

[yellowcanine]

14. Yes of course, only the President could pardon for a federal crime.

Obviously the FBI cannot make that promise. David Fry - not the sharpest tool in the drawer.

20. Official response from the President...

[irisblue]

13. no just no. nt

ended the same day it started.

16. Somebody's got it in for me. They're planting stories in the press.

[Oneironaut]

17. I guess they'll need occupiers to try and pardon the occupiers.

[Bigmack]

18. Unless the Feds prosecute those assholes for EVERY crime they can...

... it will just encourage the other assholes.

NO government can let this kind of insurrection grow.

The Feds certainly were all over the Weather Underground and MOVE and the others.

[brer cat]

19. Don't they have to be convicted

before a pardon can be considered?

[struggle4progress]

21. Ford pardoned Nixon before any prosecution could occur. Bush I pardoned Caspar Weinberger

about two weeks before Weinberger's Iran-contra trial was scheduled to begin. I'd think pardons shouldn't be possible before conviction but it's not always what has happened

But here the issue is in part that negotiators usually don't have any authority to offer pardons

22. Most of his video is about Hillalry and why she should be behind bars while he and

his gang are just law abiding citizens protecting the Constitution. This same right wing militia shit was getting headlines when Clinton was President and then magically went away when Baby Bush took over. Not a word from the so called Militia about Bush lying us into war, shipping jobs out of the country by the millions, wrecking the economy, and generally fucking up the country royally. Since Obama took office, they have started the same shit all over again.

23. Is anyone reminded of this classic from the last century?
