**Is this their version of Don Corleone?**

[ladjf]

1. Those guys are like ignorant children who have seen too many bad Westerns. nt

[pnwmom]

32. They think they're in a Coen brothers film. n/t

[2naSalit]

2. No surprise there.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Not one bit surprised

[dhill926]

4. looks like an outtake from Blazing Saddles...

[surrealAmerican]

7. I'm thinking those out takes look better than this.

This is just overgrown little boys playing dress-up. It's too bad they have access to real guns - at least with stage props they'd be less likely to hurt themselves.

[dmr]

5. Who'a he afraid of?

Regular America has no interest, and most likely no arms in which to shoot him.

If it's the feds, they'll get him with or without his armed buddies.

I think he just thinks too highly of himself.

6. Lots of kooks at Finicum's Wake

In the folk tradition, I present my version of an old Irish folksong
Sung to this wonderful Irish tune (Tim Finnegan's Wake):
https://www.flutetunes.com/tunes.php?id=434

Finicum lived on a western ranch, a crazy coot and mighty dumb
He claimed he owned the public land and stood his ground with an old shotgun

You see he'd a sort of a rightwing way with a sense of entitlement he was born
To help him on his way each day, he'd ruffle some feathers every morn

Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner around the floor yer trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of kooks at Finicum's Wake

One morning Finicum full of bull, his head felt heavy which made him shake
Charged the cops and he lost his life, and they carried him home his corpse to wake
Rolled him up in a nice blue tarp, and laid him out upon the bed
The Constitution at his feet and a bunch of snacks at his head

Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner around the floor yer trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of kooks at Finicum's Wake

His friends assembled at the wake, and Mrs Finicum called for lunch
First she brought in teaparty cake, then pipes, tobacco and whiskey punch
Cliven Bundy began to cry, "Such a nice clean corpse, did you ever see,
Le Voy my boy, why did you die? Now Harney County will never be free!"

Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner around the floor yer trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of kooks at Finicum's Wake

Then Fluffy Unicorn took up the cry "Bundy" says he "you're wrong, I'm sure"
Bundy gave him a belt in the gob and left him sprawling on the floor
Then the war did soon engage, t'was hand to hand and man to man
Militia law was all the rage and a row and a ruction soon began.

Whack fol the dah now dance to yer partner around the floor yer trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told you? Lots of kooks at Finicum's Wake.

19. K & R for this tune.

I'll be humming this all night.

[Generic Other]

20. Me too!

Thanks!

[Person 2713]

28. OH that is great. You should make that a post

[dae]

8. Bundy is a patriot, just ask him. A modern day George Washington.

As for his "guards" if they heard a shot they would each drop a load...in their pants.

[geomon666]

9. Did they drape the coffin in blue tarp?

I like the guy carrying a flag on a horse. Did he ride the horse there or drive his cage over to the funeral? I hope he knows that the guy who carries the flag is usually one of the first guys to die in war. Flag bearers were heroes, something that idiot will never be.

[csziggy]

27. One of the reports said they cut the tarp into pieces and handed them out

At the viewing. Some pinned the pieces to their clothes to honor Blue Tarp Man.

[geomon666]

30. That's beautiful.

I can't think of a better way to honor this man than pinning square pieces of gaudy blue plastic tarp to your jacket pocket at his funeral. The only thing that could top that would be to have all of the horses there take a shit on his freshly buried plot. Cause nothing says Murika more to me than fresh horseshit on a dead asshole's grave.

[tblue37]

36. Relics of the saints were popular during the Medieval period. People are

so given to superstition and mindless idolatry.

[TheCowsCameHome]

33. They used it as toilet paper

since there were so many assholes present.

[kairos12]

35. Blue tarp on coffin. DUzy.

[Wounded Bear]

10. At least he wore his Sunday go-to-meeting flannel shirt...

[Adsos Letter]

11. Horst Wessel

Now they have one of their own.

[Botany]

12. Idiots .... it the Federal Govt. really wanted Mr. Bundy

[geomon666]

13. Pfft, that's way overkill.

All you need is one good sharpshooter. They'll all be dropped before flannel boy has a chance to mouth the words "What the fuck".

[Botany]

16. I had a friend who worked w/these folks (clip art)

He was a little guy too but if he and his crew showed up to
take you in it was at 4:00 AM and before you knew it they
were all over you.


BTW my Granddad had a ranch and orchard in Oregon and these
fuckers @ the Wildlife Refuge really piss me off.

[jpak]

14. They need to protect the Holy Snacks and Socks

Where's the Blue Tarp?

[leanforward]

15. Condolences for the dearly departed, he will be missed.

I agree with every comment preceding this note. I noted a flag in the picture above. I stood for the national anthem last evening at a local school. However, in polite and civil society, all this artillery is completely unnecessary. With this said, the show of "force" is a sign of weakness. In the normal pursuit of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, most or a lot of us don't need the hardware. In fact, we don't want that stuff around. Misfires happens.

To me, he was not very street smart. Bless it, he was the tarp man, prior to the traffic stop. When someone has the drop on you, freeze or drop to the ground.

I don't understand their arguments with the BLM or the Melheur Reserve folks. I do know the land leased will only support X number of steers. You pay for land use. The federal government pays a federal impact fee to the county. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm sorry the tarp man died. But, in polite and civil society, I rely on the on the police to back me up. To me, the weapons, are the same as someone hollering, screaming, and shouting and refusing to let anyone else have a say.

[Initech]

17. They're not the Corleone family. They're Y'allqaeda.

[UTUSN]

18. Cliven needs him some repentance. Do Radical Mormons believe in repentance? (honest question)

"radical" applies to all Fundamentalists.

[madinmaryland]

21. Once again. Paranoid gun-nutters prove that they should not be allowed to possess guns.

[Grassy Knoll]

24. Agree Whole heartedly, But..

Paranoia gun nuttery is not against the law, until these mental
midgets get busted for a federal offense, they get to play.

[hollowdweller]

22. I predict he's going to jail too.

[ManiacJoe]

23. That is how they dress for a funeral?

Call me old fashion, but we still do the Sunday-best thing.

[Grassy Knoll]

25. Right????

At least a bullet bolo tie, for shame.

[Egnever]

26. Wonder how that insurance company feels about it's presence in that photo.

I would think unless you are a gun or ammo dealer advertising your business around these clowns is not the brightest idea.

[2pooped2pop]

29. I will think of him every time I cover my wood to keep it dry. With a blue tarp of course.

[Elwood P Dowd]

31. I think of my riding mower. When blowing rains come, I have to put a tarp over it where it sits

under the carport.

[kairos12]

34. The Not so Good, the Bad, and the Fugly.

[tblue37]

37. The first company to come out with flannel shirts in a camo design is going to make a fortune! nt

[pinboy3niner]

38. They should have a patch for the Malheur fiasco

And rockers, designed like Ranger tabs:

SNACKS
DILDOS
BAGS OF DICKS

[Matrosov]

39. If that were Afghanistan..

..predator missile incoming.

[B Calm]

40. You'll never see these cowards in a military uniform.
