Errr...do you have me confused with another poster? None of these people were 'my boy'... :confused:

No... We're here talking about the standoff and you dragged race into the discussion, for some strange reason.

Maybe explain that?

A conservative politician in Nevada is doing her best to kneecap the FBI and government:



Michele Fiore's office was the one to leak that Finicum was killed...

How the fuck would she know anything about what happened?

I get that she could easily figure out that Finicum was killed if she knew who left the Refuge but there's no way that those arrested have been allowed to make a peep at this point.

There's only one eyewitness or participant story so far, the cops' story.

You have to expect there will be video out the ass of the apprehension and shootout given the profile of the case and backlash. At least I hope they were smart enough to have video....

Eleven foster kids? Sounds like he was living off the government. Also raises the question of should've he been allowed to take care of children in the first place!

Pretty much this. He flat out admitted that fostering kids was how he and his wife made money. The cows just covered the costs of the ranch, their income came from fostering.

Fortunately she is being resoundingly bashed on Twitter for this very reason after her comments.

Ritzheimer is in Arizona and the feds have asked him to turn himself in. I'm pretty sure he isn't going to get back into the preserve so his options are a bit limited right now...lol!

Oh, and send money!

He did turn himself in and here's a bit more on how Fiore got the info about Finicum (She's a Bundy family friend and supporter).

Note (and edit!): Fiore is saying that the cops murdered Finicum.

My heart & prays go out to LaVoy Finicum’s family he was just murdered with his hands up in Burns OR.Ryan Bundy has been shot in the arm

I have no doubt Fiore would be at the refuge if she wasn't serving the good people of Nevada. Here's her Chistmas card to give you an idea of what you're dealing with:

This is interesting...

At the roadblock to stop traffic coming south from John Day? Sheriff Glenn Palmer - who once got autographs from Ryan Payne, J. Ritzheimer.

One minute he welcomes them and the next...

I love the quote about Ritzheimers' claim to fame:

He gained national fame for complaining on a video about the delivery of sex toys to the refuge in response to the occupiers' plea for supplies.

Asshole rancher and government welfare cheat, Cliven Bundy, speaks up about the incident from the comfort of his home:

“Isn’t this a wonderful country we live in?" Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, father of Ammon and Ryan, said sarcastically when the Los Angeles Times informed him about the arrests and the death.
"We believe that those federal people shouldn’t even be there in that state, and be in that county and have anything to do with this issue. ... I have some sons and other people there trying to protect our rights and liberties and freedoms, and now we’ve got one killed, and all I can say is, he’s sacrificed for a good purpose,” Bundy said.

No Cliven, he wasted his life for nothing. I hope your chance comes too, old man.

Well he was talking about scamming the system with foster kids, so I figured he was talking about some black dude who got killed out there, and then I was like, Wait, don't black people hate the cold and camping? That was one dedicated brother... :thumbsup:

P.S. I wasn't the first one to bring up ethnicity, but, whatever...

Knowing what you are commenting on before commenting might apply here because the kids were taken away about two weeks ago (in Arizona) and none of the foster kids were ever at the refuge. As far as the foster kids went, nobody has mentioned their nationalities/races/etc...

Lol! You might be a racist if your first thought about someone scamming "the system" with 11 foster kids is to talk about black people.

Good job exposing yourself!!

Funny if true (quote from LGF)...

Good lord. Local WGN News actually declared the standoff over after authorities stormed the refuge and arrested everyone. What. The. Fuck.
Chicago news... probably got confused and thought this was going down in Chicago...lol!

ETA: Hold it... if they thought it was Chicago they would have said that everyone was dead. :)

About damn time. Hopefully there are far more charges coming. Hopefully they clear the rest of them out soon, without a fight.

Er, I'm not worried about exposing myself as a racist because I've said here on P&N a few time that I am. Why wouldn't it be my first thought? I've got a scammer about 50 yds away, if I step out into the street I can see her Mercedes parked in her driveway.
