Armed Militia Takes Over Malheur National Wildlife Refuge HQ

It's refreshing to see so many of you on The Left being in favor of violence, torture, and mass incarceration.

Brian Beaird had led police on a high speed chase for an hour, driving his silver Corvette the wrong way down several streets, running traffic lights and wildly weaving between lanes when the pursuit ended with Beaird plowing into another car.

Noel Aguilar was pinned when an L.A. County sheriff’s deputy pumped three shots into his back. The deputy thought Aguilar shot him, but it was his partner.
“You f*#king move, I’m going to kill you, bitch!”

The menacing order was made by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Jose Ruiz as he and his partner, Deputy Albert Murad, struggled to pin down and allegedly disarm Noel Aguilar. Ruiz backed up the threat by putting his pistol to Aguilar’s head.


But the 23-year-old construction worker, who had a fiancée at home and a baby girl on the way, didn’t heed the words.

He resisted. And he paid for it with his life.

That’s clearly seen in a video shot by an anonymous witness that was released on Friday to accompany a federal civil lawsuit filed by Aguilar’s family attorney accusing both Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department deputies of starting a “shooting spree” and using “excessive force” when they “physically abused, then shot and killed” Aguilar.

Noel Aguilar. You don't know who that is either.

A disturbing video emerged Friday showing two Los Angeles sheriff’s deputies killing a man after they had chased him for riding a bicycle while wearing headphones.

The incident took place more than a year ago with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department initially telling the media that they shot and killed 23-year-old Noel Aguilar, a “known gang member,” after he pulled out a gun and shot a deputy.

But now a video shows the two deputies struggling to arrest Aguilar when one deputy pulls out his gun and shoots the second deputy before placing his gun back into its holster, then placing the blame on Aguilar.

“Where’s the gun?” Los Angeles sheriff’s deputy Jose Ruiz asked Aguilar seconds after his partner announced he had been shot.

“I don’t have any,” Aguilar said.

“I’ve been shot,” yelled Albert Murade for the second time.

“I didn’t shoot nobody,” responded Aguilar.

“I got shot in the stomach,” Murade continued.

“I didn’t shoot nobody,” Aguilar insisted.

Ruiz then pulled his gun back out and pointed it at Aguilar in an obvious attempt to shut him up.

“C’mon man, why you pulling a gun on me,” Aguilar asked.

Ruiz shoots him in the stomach, prompting Murade, who is already angry at having been shot, to fire three bullets into Aguilar’s back.

That sparks angry shouts of protest from witnesses, in English and in Spanish, saying Aguilar did nothing illegal.

Equal justice may be a tough thing for a practitioner of race based selective outrage to grasp.

Get ready for some frozen Bundy buns

Federal authorities have now made the decision to cut off power to the wildlife refuge center near Burns, Ore., occupied by the self-styled “militia” yahoos. According to a story in the Guardian, an unnamed federal official said authorities are planning to shut off the electricity to the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Oregon occupied by the Bundy bunch and their heavily armed cohorts.

About damn time.

“It’s in the middle of nowhere,” said the official, who is based in Washington, DC, and has knowledge of the planned response to the militia. “And it’s flat-ass cold up there.”

The Bundy bunch, roughly a dozen out-of-state, anti-government “militia” types, joined a protest in favor of two ranchers now serving a five-year sentence for arson, Dwight and Steven Hammond, but went further than the local protest when they took over the closed facility. And they’re about to get colder and lonelier.

Occupier Michael Stettler, who lives about 100 miles away in Christmas Valley, Ore., said the occupiers are spending most of their time fielding calls from the news media and watching Fox News.
