The former. Would never post if the latter. Was moved to post this because I saw so many people on Twitter/FB making fun of it, and fuck that.

AB’s post is primarily about gun control in the broader sense. And in that vein of thinking, I do agree with him, because what scares me is the idea that any unhinged adult Caucasian can purchase an assault rifle (or more), get with like-minded jackasses on FB or Twitter, and do something this blatantly…

From where I sit, these dudes are both scary and dumb.. I’m not saying they aren’t completely idiotic, because they are, but they are frightening as hell also.

You have no idea what my ‘ilk’ is or consists of. I don’t think these dummies (or anyone, frankly) deserve to die. You’re lumping me into a group of people with whom I also disagree. My viewpoint is more nuanced than that.

Hmm ... I think I’m not going to assume there are a whole lot of “extremists” out there just waiting to lay claim to ranger shacks on remote wildlife refuges. More to the point, I don’t think these dipshits are “extremists.” They’re idiots. They are accomplishing precisely nothing beyond getting some media attention…

I don’t think calling them morons and jamokes and dinguses and slow-witted white dorks in their best Sunday camo is handling them with kid gloves. I don’t think the solution to the imbalanced application of law enforcement in the United States is for the heavy-handed destructiveness wrongfully applied in certain…

Well, they *are* jamokes, *and* terrorists. AB is arguing that they are fantastically stupid - a point on which I think we can all agree - and just assuming that this stupidity means they’re not terrorists. I favor the both/and approach here.

A recent New York Times article about these guys noted that they’re having trouble starting fires to keep warm because the sagebrush they’re using for “firewood” is covered in snow. Which, obviously. Because it’s winter and it’s the fucking desert.

Listen, the very notion that they’re genuinely “doing” anything is flattering to them. If they were serious about some sort of insurrection against government, they could—would—have picked virtually any other building in North America to start it. They don’t want a fight. They want to get interviewed on Fox News.

Throw them in clown prison.

I agree and disagree. Letting them wait it out to figure out who’s cleaning a clogged shitter in the middle of nowhere might drive them all out. But killing them is absolutely the wrong answer, and even the threat of violence against them legitimizes them and gives them X more people to “take up the cause.”

It's probably more of a Bud Light Rebellion anyway.

Here is the thing. These men are not frightening. They are jamokes. They are exactly jamokes. Their guns, on the other hand, are very frightening

“but did whoever swapped it out have to draw a dick and balls on it?”

True statement. But incomplete—many many more aren’t. And we are furious at this gasbag and his awful racist unchristian “Christian” followers. We all laughed at my mom in 1979 when she warned us about this rising tide of hateful political “Christians.” She got the last laugh, but was never happy to have been right.

Unless the media is willing to seriously analyze why and how Trump is resonating with a large minority of Americans, I don’t want to hear him. Of course the media won’t because 1) Trump draws viewers and 2) they don’t want to alienate any potential viewers.

Farts are, by comparison, pleasant and reasonable things to repeatedly unleash on national television.

You’re not alone in this, Kevin.

We tried that. His name was Richard Nixon and he illegally bombed several countries.

Donald Trump’s hair gel CAN melt steel beams.
