    Some people have quite a knack of sounding racist when it seems like they think they are sounding reasonable.

    Don't you capitalize the "N"? Like Germans or Asians, or is that racist grammar that you won't even capitalize the word?

    Christ. Where to begin unraveling the layers of stupidity here.

    First off, the building was not "abandoned." It was merely unoccupied at the moment these asswipes broke in with guns and illegally took control of it. Hell, I guess if someone breaks in and steals your home when your family is on vacation .....hey, that's OK, because they "abandoned" it.

    And this wasn't "their" wifi. It was the wifi service to a building where they had no legal right to be and weren't paying the bills. The people who are paying the bills have every right to turn off the utilities any damn time they want. And their cell phone service is only blocked to that one specific location where they have no legal right to be. They can still have cell phone service if they leave that spot and go somewhere they are allowed to be, but of course they may now have trouble doing so without arrest given these crimes with guns they've committed along the way. Hell, if someone seized my property and locked me out for 5 weeks, I'd want their cell phone service to my home cut off too, and I'd also quickly disconnect my electricity, heat and water utilities as well--steps the feds here have thus far declined to take.

    The notion that these nitwits have been treated unduly harshly is beyond ludicrous, if anything they were given the kid glove treatment for FAR too long.

    "OPB spoke with the remaining occupiers inside the refuge Sunday by cellphone. They say federal authorities have locked down their ability to make or receive calls.

    David Fry, one of the four remaining militants, said the FBI made it so the occupiers can’t make outgoing calls on their cellphones. Fry said he can receive incoming calls, but that the other three in the refuge appear unable to receive calls on their cellphones. The militants also said they’ve lost access to the internet."

    Reading is fundamental.

    Baron is still ahead on points, but Rainman is throwing haymakers going for the KO.

    Yeah, I know. I didn't deny that. So what's your point? They've an easy solution to that problem, just leave the illegally-occupied building and they'll have cell access back.

    After this bloodbath is over, the winner has two contenders waiting for their shot.

    What? The Sports Journalists Posting Council and the Sports Journalists Posting Association both recognize you as the No. 1 contender, so you get two title shots?

    If you knew me, you'd be embarrassed regarding your own inadequacies. I'd hate to do that to someone.

    Why would I want to know someone who freely admits they're a horrible person?
