Cry of the Militia: WAAAHHHH…But We Don’t Wanna Get Arrested!!

by Mike Ferner

As the macho, gun-toting, testosterone-addled cowboys who took over the wildlife refuge in Oregon call it quits, their pitiful whine can be heard all the way to Florida: “Waaahhh…but we don’t wanna get arrested…”

So much for the rugged-individualists and badass proponents of personal responsibility. Let’s see what happens as their armed insurrection winds down. How will the system treat the militant bullyboys?

Will they get pepper-sprayed in the face as did the college students peacefully sitting in a driveway at UC Davis during Occupy protests, or shot in the head with a police projectile as did Veterans For Peace member Scott Olson in Oakland?

Will they get two months in jail like Ed Kinane for stepping across a line at the School of the Americas; or six months in jail like grandmother Mary Anne Grady, for taking pictures of demonstrators outside the Reaper drone base in upstate NY; or a $20,000 fine like Kathy Kelly’s peace group, for taking medicine to people in Iraq before we invaded their country in 2003; or 10 years in prison for speaking out against the madness of World War One, like Gene Debs;

5. Don't want to go to Jail?

When they say put your hands up, just reach for your inside pocket.

6. AMEN! (nt)

7. Fight to the death? We have napalm and cluster bombs and nukes...

... they have AR-15's.

If we use less than cluster bombs and napalm.... its because we are trying to take them alive.

9. arrest is not as bad as loss of guns

Their real fear of arrest is not jail time. It is that they could lose their gun licenses; convicted of a felony denies you a gun permit (and usually a vote). In some states, even a misdemeanor conviction limits open carry and CC.

10. a story a few days ago

Said that the ones arrested so far had multiple convictions on their record, many involving CDV or firearms, including illegally carrying firearms as a convicted felon.

12. Then they will just buy the guns from a private seller...

the law says ex-felons can't own guns. They haven't obeyed the law before. Why, if they eventually become an ex-felon, would they obey the law in the future?
