Oregon militia left firearms, bombs and a lot of poop

Source: CBS News

PORTLAND, Ore. - So far, 25 people have been arrested in connection with the standoff between a militia and federal officials on a federal wildlife preserve in Oregon.

As the FBI sweeps in to collect evidence from the scene of the occupation, officials are discovering the dirtier aspects of living in a remote wildlife refuge that may come back to haunt the occupiers.

The group that moved in to the Malheur Wildlife Refuge near the town of Bend set up a large outdoor camping site that, according to Reuters, was near artifacts and sacred burial grounds of the Burns Paiute Tribe.

CBS affiliate KOIN in Portland reports the campsite "large food stores that are spoiling" and "significant amounts of human feces in and around an outdoor camping area."

Federal lands belong to all of us and should be held in trust for the benefit of all of us, not just for now, but for our future generations.
These people hate environmental laws and they don’t respect archaeological sites just to name a couple of problems I have with them.

Also this seems to have been a roving caravan of trailer trash types, the authentic trailer trash. They probably let their refuse hoses run into the ditch, I don't think they were actually squatting over a ditch.

and didn't apparently, as you point out, know how to flush a toilet with water, nor remember to bring food and warm clothes in the middle of winter.

But then, they took off on this expedition as poorly equipped as an 8 year old running away from home with one peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I get it that the ground may have been too hard at this season for the city boys to easily dig a latrine, but really. The Bundys are all rootin' tootin' muscular sons of the saddle, and I'm sure they coulda thoughta somethin'.

How much inbreeding has been going on out there at the Bundy Ranch? Something is just not right with those men and their friends.

Did they ask for a porta potty and bomb making guides/tools?

The last to surrender stated, to some extent, that he wish he had been in contact with ISIS.

I fully expect that one will be serving at least part of his sentence in a mental hospital. (As liberals I would think we'd want that. The guy was so far off his rocker that said rocker will likely not ever be found.)

It's not that the others aren't nutjobs. I think probably all of them are. But serious, actual mental illness? Probably only a few of them, if that. But definitely the last guy.

There's a commercially available DNA stool testing kit -- yay capitalism!

Some defendant may say, "Hey, that blurry image in the background in the video may look sort of like me but I was never at the Refuge." The answer will be, "Well, genius, if you thought you might want to maintain that lie in court, you should've made the extra effort to walk to the working flush toilet. Guilty as charged."

Had been a-wondering how they might manage the Refuge, but now we know. I think they ought to be shipped down there in chains (as in a chain gang) and required to clean up their own mess. Glad they're behind bars, but sincerely wish they were out of my state entirely. Still behind bars, of course. Words can't describe my disgust with those worthless creatures!

Never sure how to do links in my posts, but there's a YouTube video well worth checking out: The Ballad of the Malheur Patriots. Made by a couple of comedians in Portland. Watch it and laugh!

Peace.
