Same in Argentina. One article in La Nación the first day. El Chapo is stealing the show for foreign news, including a video interview with Sean Penn while El Chapo was on the lam.

Three is a crowd? This can't end well
The Oregonian has quite a few pictures of the armed members of the Pacific Patriot Network (you have to see the pictures, OK?) who arrived to present ‘articles of resolution.’
Joseph Rice, a spokesman for the network, didn’t specify what was in the document, but he noted that his group wants to move the sides to an end to the standoff.
Rice didn’t address whether his heavily armed group would return to the refuge.
He only said his group is moving on “to present them (the articles of resolution) to other government agencies” and he added that the network is maintaining a neutral stance in the dispute.
Todd MacFarlane, a lawyer who was acting as a mediator, said that Ammon Bundy doesn’t want the armed visitors there.
MacFarlane told reporters that his message was,”We don’t need that. We don’t want it and we’re asking you to leave.”
The Oregonian reports:
MacFarlane said he had just met with Bundy and other leaders of the occupation.
They’re “alarmed” by the arrival of Pacific Patriot Network members, some carrying rifles, and concerned about the perception they convey.
“This was the last thing in the world they wanted to see happen,” MacFarlane said.
Bundy didn’t request the presence of the network, he said, and has “tried to put out the word: ‘We don’t need you.'”
Before the patriot group arrived, the ”3% of Idaho,” arrived with firearms at their sides to secure the area around the building and to assure the townspeople that they are safe. WTF.
But that group’s presence seemed OK to Ammon Bundy. He said, “If they weren’t here, I’d worry” about a Waco-style siege by federal officials.”

”We don’t need that. We don’t want it and we’re asking you to leave.”
Isn't that what the locals said to Bundy?
Now Bundy is saying that to the Pacific Patriot Network.
I predict we'll be hearing that from the Pacific Patriot Network in a few days when ultra-ultra-extreme whack-jobs show up. Then a few days after that, etc, etc...
this would make a great skit on Saturday Night Live

Not that I like the idea of taking over buildings, but a lot of folks are fed up with the duplicity of government.
Hammonds get 5 years in jail for burning 140 acres.
BLM purposefully burns range, feed, and cows - nothing.
BLM fences off springs and wells they have no rights to - nothing.
EPA causes a spill into the Animas River, willful negligence, with prior knowledge of the risks of digging into the Gold King mine - nothing.
I could go on and on with examples of the government breaking their own laws, with no consequences - especially with fires resulting in uncompensated damages to private citizens.
Why are people around the west mad? Gee, let me think...

Dave -- "Why are people around the west mad? Gee, let me think... "
Because like I said all along they're clueless brainwashed American hypocrites.
White washed by their stupid irresponsible spineless main stream media.
Then they come here and spew endlessly like stoopid parrots what their front page media tells them.
What a cesspool .....

Dave has a point with the river thing. I pointed out the hypocrisy of this site alone, some other bullshit thread vs the river spill thread.
I was told, give it time. The people here will come around and be upset about the government f*#k-up.
Well, not yet. I don't think that thread has topped 100 posts yet. And how many posts has this thread got?
Y'all are part of the problem. Here to point out how stupid a bunch of armed white guys are, and simply trusting the government that f*#ked up the river over there in the first place to get things right the second time around. Wait wait wait... it's the MINER's fault, right? Another bunch of poor, uneducated middle-aged white guys, yeah?
Course, there are other threads where you bitch about getting tooled, so I guess what it is, is that you don't give a rats ass until it happens to you. Welcome to America! F*#king classic.
