Occupation Alcatraz lasted from 1969 to 1971. I would also suggest you people who are bringing up Ruby Ridge, Waco, OWS consider the following. There are a few big difference between what is happening today in Oregon and what happened with those incidents. Ruby Ridge stemmed from an invistigation began by a GOP presidents justice Department over some illegal firearm purchase that was set up and sold by ATF personnel. US Marshals showed up to make the arrest, and somebody started shooting. The Branch Davidians at Waco was alleged to have illegal automatic firearms, the initial invistigation was started by local LEO's and ended with the involvement of the ATF, National Guard a fire fight, and the eventual burning alive of a bunch of people because of one lunatic who claimed he was Jesus Christ. OWS was just a bunch of idiots who tried unsuccessfully to push the 1% into admitting they were fucking with everyone. And then you guys throw around Baltimore and Ferguson. However, these 'militiamen' who are, at present guilty of nothing more than armed trespass on Federal Property do have a philosophy, it is called Sovereign Citizen. The basic idea is that the highest level of government is that of the county, and the Federal Government has no authority to do jack shit about anything. Members of this movement have been involved with the murder of Police Officers, volunteer Firefighters, and one blew up a Federal Building in Oklahoma City. One of the posters on this board who is not a native of the US, has referenced that ranchers have to sell their land, without one fucking bit of a clue as to why that sale is being forced. But where the 'victims' of past BLM and DOJ operations have asked for support from these Sovereign Citizens, in this case, the father and son who are being wrongfully forced back to prison have not asked for support from these idiots, do not want support from these idiots, and wish these idiots would go away. There are left leaning members of this board that are screaming that these people are being treated differently than those in Ferguson or Baltimore, and yes, they are, for they have not killed anyone, destroyed private or public property, and have not shot a single person. Then you have the assholes who post cute comics as a comparison. Is it right that police have a nasty habit of shooting first and asking questions later, no. Is it true that police are killing more African Americans than anyone else, fuck no. Black on Black crime is at an all time high, as is Latino on Latino and white on white. Now, personally, I think that they out to be treated by the government the same way that the Native Americans were treated when they peacefully occupied Wounded Knee South Dakota in 1973. Then two native Americans were killed and a civil rights activist who joined the protesters vanished and still has not been found. The father and son should be released, and considering the unconstitutionality of the second judges ruling, should be granted a full pardon and compensated for the crap they have taken. Eventually, they might get everything but the pardon. I will give you folks something else to think about. In the riots in LA, Ferguson, Baltimore, those people did not leave their neighborhoods to destroy property in the neighborhoods where the 'oppressive' White Anglo Americans lived, they looted and burned shit owned by their fucking neighbors. That is not protesting injustice, and it sure as fuck aint no fucking revolution, it is the pure and simple taking advantage of the situation and fucking your neighbor over. And technically, with the expressed political philosophy of these armed jackasses in Oregon, you could actually make a very good case for armed insurrection. Hell that was the justification for the Nixon Administration for sending in the National Guard to deal with American Indians occupying a town owned by American Indians, on American Indian land. Or the dropping of a bomb on the home of a bunch of fanatics by local police in Philadelphia. And then, you have some who claim, wrongly, the leftist protesters never used violence or armed conflict to make a point. Non American citizens making comments about a government agency that they know absofuckinglutely nothing about based on fucked up inflammatory news stories on some fucking news network, none of which could broadcast a fair unbiased report on anything including a dog taking a shit in a public park. The modern concept for the modern news media is "Lets make things 600000 times worse by telling half truths, lies, and broadcasting images that show the fucking worse crap of the whole situation." The reality of the situation here is that some father and son got fucked over by a justice system, a bunch of right wing ultra conservative armed fuckheads are trying to make a name for themselves by claiming to be rushing to help. The ultimate reality is even worse. The majority of the human race is nothing more than a mass of terminally stupid people who are bad enough left to their own devices, and down right dangerous in a mob setting, who are alive because there is no longer the impact of natural selection to weed out these fucking morons during childhood and adolescence. And then there are people who post crap on these subjects who, any other time, would post intelligent, even insightful thoughts on any other subject, turn into passion driven fools prone to insults, who would never dream of acting in such a way in a face to face debate. God the wonders of the internet and the 24 hour news cycle. And the worst part of the whole story is that if that father and son would have gone to the local BLM administrator and made their case properly, the government would have sent people out to do the same thing they got charged with arson for. The BLM and forestry service do controlled burns all the time to prevent worse fires in the future. The only thing this father and son are guilty of is not doing the paperwork and trying to save the Federal Government a shit ton of money by doing it themselves instead of a bunch of government employees dragging a bunch of equipment out to do the job. It has probably cost the government 5 times more to arrest, hold the trial and put these guys in prison.
