Militia Cleanup: Did you say take away their kids?

[Vassenor]

Course', we all know who REALLY funded this takeover.

Our lord and savior Andrew Ryan. Man, the damn tyrannical gubermint rejected his demand to BUY the reserve, so Mr. Ryan does what all enterprising businessmen do: Send in a heavily armed militia to "remove" the natives.

Would you kindly stop spouting trash? >.>

I suspect the joke went barrelling off into the ether.

Would have worked better if you'd at least opened with "powerful phrase, 'would you kindly'" before then launching with "would you kindly stop posting trash".
Or for maximum clarity, "stop posting trash, would you kindly".

To be fair I haven't played Bioshock in a long time so I forgot most of it.

I watched the "would you kindly" scene on Youtube a couple weeks back and Infinite's plot-tying event this morning.

I'd recommend you do the same, because God bless Ken Lavine.

To everyone who said "take away their kids!"

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A Kansas woman who took her children to perform for occupiers during the armed takeover of an Oregon wildlife refuge earlier this year says authorities have removed seven of her children from her home and arrested her for assaulting an officer.

Odalis Sharp, 46, of Auburn was booked into the Shawnee County jail Friday evening for battery of an officer and interfering with a law enforcement officer, jail officials told The Kansas City Star (http://bit.ly/1pYwRGa ). No charges had been filed as of Tuesday morning. The Shawnee County prosecutor's office could not be reached for comment.
Sharp was released Saturday on $3,000 bond.

Sharp traveled with seven of her 10 children, who have a family gospel band, from Kansas to Oregon to sing for and support the 41-day occupation by armed militants of at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. One daughter, 18-year-old Victoria Sharp, was riding with Nevada rancher LaVoy Finicum and three of the other militants when Finicum ran a roadblock and was shot and killed by Oregon state police.

Sharp said the arrest occurred after she went to court earlier Friday trying to file paperwork accusing her landlord of breach of contract. Her landlord had earlier sought to have her removed from the home. She said when she returned home, law enforcement and employees with the Kansas Department of Children and Families were waiting.

"They wanted me to go with them," Sharp told the newspaper. "They wouldn't let me go to the house. One grabbed my arm and legs and dragged me out of the car. I kicked the woman officer."
Sharp said the sheriff's officers arrested her and took one of her children who was with her at the time. Six of her other children had been taken by child welfare workers while she was away, Sharp said. Three older children live elsewhere.

A DCF spokeswoman didn't immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday.
"They're all in DCF custody now, as far as I know," she said. "They're evil. They steal kids. This is the devil against my family."

She said DCF workers visited her at least twice since returning from Oregon and that someone had apparently called the child abuse and neglect hotline recently.
"They're making false charges," she said.

In 2011, the Kansas Department for Children and Families removed Sharp's oldest child who was then 15 and placed him in foster care. Sharp appealed, but the appellate court sided with the lower courts in October.

So TLDR.. a woman with a history of losing children to protective services assaults a police officer (and admits to it) and freaks out that her children were then taken by protective services while she was in fucking jail?

I remember the name. For a while before the FBI disclosure of details, Victoria Sharp's version of events got quite a bit of reporting ... her version was basically "Finicum had his hands up then they shot him" ... which I'm not actually resenting that much. At 18 she's an adult and shouldn't tell lies, but it was an incredibly stressful situation for her and she probably "filled in" some things she didn't actually see.

Absolutely no sympathy for her mother though, who would take not just Victoria but younger children into an armed seige. That's like, human shields? It's despicable.

You might think that, but obviously what's really happening is Obama is trying to destroy the American family.

He succesfully made me and my gf break up a few years ago so why not? So far he hasn't outlawed me from seeing my little princess, though. And he also failed to make us hate eachother. So thanks Obama.

I sincerely doubt they were there as "human shields".
Sharp claims to maintain a family gospel band, the siege was dominated by mormons.

Entirely reasonable they were there entirely to sing songs, but that they were there is despicable, yes.

Don't go getting complacent. Once he finishes with the Republicans he'll come for you, and make you marry your toaster and give legal guardianship of your daughter to your dog. Or one of his dogs.

If I've learned anything from watching Les Mis(and I haven't, so I haven't, but never mind that now) then it's that there's no better time for a sing-song than when you're manning the barricades against the government oppressors.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy is suing the federal judge handling his criminal case stemming from an armed standoff with government agents, with a complaint that accuses President Barack Obama, U.S. Sen. Harry Reid and one of Reid's sons of plotting to steal Bundy's property.

Bundy lawyer Joel Hansen handed a copy of the lawsuit to U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro in open court in Las Vegas on Tuesday, and he told her that because she's a named defendant, she should remove herself from Bundy's case.

The judge responded that case law doesn't let a defendant create such a scenario.

But Navarro invited Hansen to try to identify whether her work as a prosecutor in the Clark County district attorney's office before she was nominated to the federal bench created for her a conflict in the Bundy case. She set a May 25 date to rule whether she'll step aside.

Hansen said that Navarro is beholden to Reid because the then-Senate Democratic majority leader recommended her for the judgeship. Obama nominated her, and she was confirmed by the Senate on a 98-0 vote in May 2010.

Hansen complained also that Navarro won't let outspoken conservative attorney Larry Klayman represent Bundy in Nevada until disciplinary proceedings against Klayman are resolved in Washington, D.C.

The filing of the lawsuit came during a detention hearing at which Hansen, with Klayman in the audience, argued that Bundy's constitutional rights are being violated and that charges against the 70-year-old cattleman should be dismissed.

The judge said she'll decide that question if she remains on the case.
Bundy and 18 other defendants have pleaded not guilty to conspiracy, obstruction, weapon, threats and assault charges that could get each the equivalent of life in prison for the tense gunpoint standoff in April 2014 near Bundy's ranch outside Bunkerville, about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.

In court, Hansen accused Reid of tainting public opinion against Bundy by branding him a domestic terrorist after the April 2014 standoff, which Hansen alleged followed a Reid order for the federal Bureau of Land Management to round up Bundy cattle from the scenic Gold Butte area near Bundy's ranch in Bunkerville.

Reid owns property nearby, Hansen said, on which he wants Chinese interests to build a solar power plant. Hansen alleged that Reid's son, attorney Rory Reid, is negotiating that deal. Rory Reid declined to comment about the lawsuit.

In a statement, Reid spokeswoman Kristen Orthman dismissed the lawsuit as "baseless and absurd," and repeated the "domestic terrorist" label.

"Bundy, his sons and their believers have endangered the lives of federal officers, have defaced and damaged public lands and squandered public resources for their own benefit," the statement said. "They are deadly and dangerous and will be brought to justice."

Officials at the White House didn't immediately respond to messages.

Federal prosecutor Steven Myhre dismissed as "outrageous, irrelevant and offensive" the idea that there was "some grand conspiracy by political leaders to take over the land."

This, as well as filing an official complaint that the federal government has no jurisdiction in Malheur. >.>

I wonder if Cliven knows he has no chance and is trying to get the prosecution to kill themselves in a last ditch attempt.

Leaving her children unattended is hardly a better scenario, considering the thin ice she was on with child welfare services as is.
