    I love this guy.

    Any move we take against groups like ISIS is "giving them exactly what they want" and helps them to "recruit new members".

    People take over the streets in suburban St. Louis, and folks fret about the "militarization" of the police.

    "Occupy" groups take over public and private lands, disrupting business, and people cheer them.

    Protestors occupy the Wisconsin Capitol, and receive the support of liberals around the country.

    Meanwhile, these yahoos "take over" a visitor's center at a remote bird sanctuary, and a failure to immediately remove them has him very concerned.

    I'm glad they had room for the weight bench.

    I'm a federal taxpayer. I'm a part owner of those federal lands. Get those fucking moochers off my land.

    I vote for getting them off too.

    But, I don't want to see any law enforcement injured or killed. So, they shouldn't rush it just to please you or Inky.

    I got some groceries, some peanut butter,
    To last a couple of days
    But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones,
    Ain't got no records to play

    I've seen better stocked Pac-12 tailgate parties.

    How many people do we even think are really there?

    Times says 100 participated in march 30 miles away. But most marches didn't go to the bird sanctuary, right?

    So, what do we have? 10, 12, maybe 30 folks?

    Former Philadelphia Mayor Wilson Goode would know how to deal with these folks.

    Every time I see these stories from out west and "BLM", I think of the Bureau of Land Management. And I wonder why you all are talking about that agency so much.

    Form a perimeter around the joint and starve 'em out.

    I'm completely fine with this.

    I'm even ok with something more aggressive if the appropriate folks in law enforcement thinks there is an option available to them.
