The Civil War HAS BEGUN!!! Its Starting in Oregon!!!! Way to Go Militia Coming to Aid GOP State Senators, who had to go into hiding: Oregon Capitol Now Closed, Thanks to Militia!!! | GreatAwakening

One one hand, I think they agreed to do a job when they got elected, and should rightly be required to fulfill those duties or resign. Refusing to let the game continue because you don't like the way it's going for your team is childish.

On the other hand, I think it's rather chilling that police are being used in an attempt to influence political matters with the threat of force. Preventing a vote by refusing to allow the legislature to form a quorum is a valid political strategy given the already established laws, and I'm willing to bet somebody can cite prior instances where similar actions have been pivotal in influencing legislation.

China is really intent on being the only economic power in the pacific.

Man, Oregon had that militia uprising in the bird sanctuary a while back too. Maybe it's the combination of authoritarian governments in liberal population centers, the heavily armed rural population, and enough unmonitored space for people to still move about freely without getting squelched.

Although if I remember right they stopped and killed one of those militia guys. The official story was he resisted. I can't remember if they said he pulled a gun or it looked like he might've had a gun. Either way, very suspicious since it's not a nigger and nobody else in the car with him who was part of the militia also pulled a gun in resistance.

Edit: Lavoy Finicum?
