I didn't comment on the semi-violent semi-end to the Oregon militia occupation protest thing when it happened the other day because, well, doing Internet things at my mom's house is a special challenge, but after the inevitable It was all a huge conspiracy by the Gummint to shoot down this true-blooded patriot! blather that has ensued, this particular article (which includes the aerial footage that, yes, I watched, too) sums it up well.
'It’s pretty amazing — when a 12-year-old with a toy gun is shot within two seconds of cops arriving on scene, it makes sense that the police feared for their lives, because he looked like a thug. But after a guy who vowed he’d never be taken alive drives away from a traffic stop where he’s been told to surrender, is chased by cops, swerves around a roadblock and nearly hits another cop, then reaches for a loaded gun, the cops just might have been trigger-happy.
The real question, of course, is how Barack Obama is responsible for this.'
I hope that none of the other yahoos still on-site at Oregon do anything to warrant being shot. We already have our Official Martyr's Name to add to our God, Guns, and Country tattoos.
