Whether it's fetal alcoholism, or lead poisoning, or abusive or nonexistent parents.

The world is becoming less and less tolerant of ignorance, I think. Maybe it's just my hopes.

edited to add: and by toxic I mean FOX artificial light flashing bullshit into someone's life. Haha.

he handed it back to Finicum before walking off. But they are probably all subject to arrest for pulling the cameras now...if and when they venture into town. At least those who are identifiable...and he gave his name clearly in that video.

I hope they have enough to keep him.

Have to admit he has a point there even if he is a lousy speller.

How great of a name is "Stetson" to be tangled up with the Bundys? You could not make that up.

Not government spy cameras. Though they probably got a few building security or migration tracking cameras from the refuge.

Idiots. This movie is moving from comedy to tragedy.

They are used to monitor the transformer station in a remote location. Some of the photo angles show this, the terrorist's video obfuscates that. It doesn't have to be true if you can do an anti-government broadcast, just ask Fox! These guys didn't announce false news, they acted in the original production of a false propaganda piece.

Finicum wanted to play the guy that dies.

In this case, it's $15,000. That's pretty high.

As with all these chumps, I hope he gets charged with a felony so he permanently loses his cherished 2nd amendment right. He'd probably rather face castration. hahaha

It would be interesting to have some of these militia dudes expose Reagan's crimes. Many of the people who were ordered to do dark ops type stuff, kill for politicians type stuff, definitely experience a change of world view after they see what really happens in that world. Shattered world view is another PTSD if severe enough. Sometimes having to reconstruct a reality view doesn't work out very well, conservatives are not adept at change.

Everyone likes accuracy in reporting, and to be honest, I watched it three times and I didn't see him take the cameras. I heard Levi say he always wanted one and was going to take it, but he handed it to the older man in the stetson and there's where it cuts away to another scene. Did he actually take it?

The stetson man says that if the FBI wanted them back, he was going to be at the press conference tomorrow and they could come and pick them up.

Then again, if Levi was arrested for Aggravated Theft, then he probably took them.

34. When they were removed from the mounting it was technically theft.

Just because you don't squirrel them away at your house doesn't mean it is not theft. At the least Brother Levi was an accessory. I believe the aggravated part is because they removed the cameras from where they were installed. But I could be wrong about that. Also the theft charge may not have anything to do with cameras. Lord knows there didn't seem to be any compunction about appropriating federal property at the refuge. Anyway all of the play acting has had a tragic ending at least for Finicum, who I believe is the stetson man you are talking about - not to be confused with Joe Stetson, who is another wannabe militia type picked up yesterday for DUI and resisting arrest.
