This is day 12 of the Redneck Rebellion and this observer is beginning to wonder if the Billy Bobs really intend for the remote Malheur Wildlife Refuge to be the White man's last stand. Tensions are quietly mounting in the state of Oregon, as redneck ranchers and self described "patriots" put out a nationwide call to White militias and other Beer Bellied Bozos for supplies and support. And this was after an Oregon judge decided to bill the head silly Billy daily for occupying the government facility.
Incensed watching his granddaughter plead for the return of peace and quiet during a town hall meeting by making the "outsiders" leave, Judge Steve Grasty of Harney County said Ammon Bundy and other leaders of his redneck rebels will pay the cost of the occupation/standoff and it won't be cheap. At $60,000-$70,000 per day, these rebels without a defensible cause could be bankrupt before they get to fire their first shots. At first glance, this might slow the flow of out of state fighters looking to join up, but remember, we're not dealing with sensible people.
Despite relentless efforts and offers local law enforcement officials have made to de-escalate the conflict, these "kissing cousin" types are digging themselves in like a Georgia tick. Perhaps the Billy Bobs are feeling secure in the fact that the Justice Department seems to be looking the other way, preoccupied with other issues or simply unwilling to face the inevitable blowback should these rabid rebels have to be put down. Maybe the Justice Department and the Feds can't forget the Waco Texas or Ruby Ridge incidents.
Still, the clock is ticking and this Redneck Rebellion is gonna have to be dealt with. And in this observer's opinion, the sooner the better. Yesterday, Oregon state Rep. Peter Defazio blasted the Justice Department for not getting tough on these people. “Well, the lights and the heat are on in the Malheur Wildlife Refuge illegally occupied by ultra right-wing, anti-government extremists,” DeFazio stated on the House floor Wednesday. “But you gotta wonder if the lights are on or anybody’s home down at the Justice Department.”
Even after Sheriff David Ward was forced to order barriers put up and other security measure around the courthouse and his office in response to threats, not a peep from the Feds. Although the FBI has established contact with local law enforcement and report they're closely monitoring the situation, this observer would like to know how much longer will those responsible for responding to acts of domestic terrorism wait before they bust a move. And make no mistake about it, this standoff qualifies as a domestic terror event.
Bottom line: When local residents have to watch their backs just to go shopping, schools have to be closed out of fear of armed strangers showing up in their town and the local sheriff having to walk on egg shells around a bunch of intimidating thugs and bullies, you can say these people are being terrorized. Since one can only speculate what's keeping the Feds at bay, one can only hope when this Redneck Rebellion finally does jump off, it'll at least be televised. Podcast Below
