"We're not surrendering, we're just turning ourselves in."

That's a bit like saying "We didn't lose, we just scored less points."

They're deciding it's a strategic withdrawal to new battlegrounds. Sounds better that way!

[smjjames]

Those mean the same thing, but whatever floats their boat I guess.

I suppose they'll give the Feds as much 'resisting arrest' as they possibly can?

[RedKing]

If they do, they could still wind up dead. I don't believe for a second that they'll show up at the surrender point totally unarmed. Somebody's gonna pack a holdout.


EDIT: And again, I maintain that if these weren't white people, this would have been over a lot faster and messier. And the people currently defending these sorry asses would have been cheering the loudest.

[smjjames]

That would unfortunately be true.

wut

[Amperzand]

So, like, a private geostationary satellite?

Note: singing doesn't work well over a cell connection.

Apparently, but they wouldn't actually be able to suggest something so advanced.

VICTORIA's DROPPING HER MIXTAPE CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAUSE THIS TRACK IS FIRE

[smirk]

Track's so hot it should do several years in prison for illegally setting fires on federal property!


E: Sounds like it's mostly wound down but for the final prayers. We'll see how the morning surrender goes tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure Pedro is the winner tonight. He's the hero they deserve.

The irony of these guys saying everything short of "God is Great!" is killing me. If only we could get this playing in the background of Fox News casts about radical Islam.

Again, the FBI are professionals. They wouldn't have done anything differently had they been be dealing with blacks.

[Helgoland]

The higher-ups probably would have reacted differently though. This is as much a political matter as it is a judicial/law enforcement one.

Wouldn't have even made it to the FBI if they had been non-white. Local/state law enforcement would have taken care of it.

And as someone who has worked very closely with Federal law enforcement...trust me, they have racists in their ranks too.

In 1967, 30 armed Black Panthers occupied the State Capitol in Sacramento. They were openly carrying guns, and actually entered the Senate chamber before walking out. None of the were shot.

Meh, at least the FBI didn't kill any POC at Waco.

[RedKing]

Last I looked, it wasn't 1967 or 1993.
