They should call in the rapid response unit (or whatever their crack unit is called)
Handcuff these idiots with boots on the backs of their necks
And haul 'em off to jail.

Just my opinion.

Or cut off all supply routes in and out and arrest anyone entering or leaving.

What would happen if the Mauna Kea knuckleheads did an armed occupation of the Mauna Kea visitors center saying it was their place of sojourn since they're gonna stay there ?

Also how is Cliven Bundy not in jail ?
He owes us taxpayers over a million bucks.

Has there been another post on this topic because I couldn't find one and was surprised this forum has been so quiet on this topic for so long.

These idiots need to leave.

They are giving the militias a bad name.

Consider the source, U.S. News c/o Economic Intelligence

  It is my understanding that certain "government lands" in the likes of Montana, Utah and such are what ya call "Free Range" territory declared such back in the 1800 when every body was bartering to be or not to be a state.
As such Rangers (cattleman) had the right to let their cattle roam upon these lands.
If you recall, Bundy was originally charged with "Disturbing an endangered species" a tortoise that has been living with the cattle for hundreds of years on the same piece of earth.
$1,000,000. 00  of fees, fines, permits over 20 years seems kinda steep.
.
So they were arrested, they were sentenced, and they served their time.
Then "the judge thought the sentence was too short and sent them back for more time.' 
THERE'S SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG THERE !

   They take your taxes and piss it away on things like rail, personal vacations disguised as research for what ever reason, $million dollar pensions after you get fired, million dollar studies (rail, laneakea, Panos, why people come to Hawaii getting rid of the ferry, ag lands rezoned for building housing we can't afford which are then sold to non-residents moving here increasing the islands population and simultaneously depleting it's resources and "REAL" value, destroying half a million dollars worth of tax payer purchased firearms and let's not forget about DENYING YOU OF YOUR CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEED RIGHTS EVEN AFTER THE SUPREME COURT HAS RULED THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE SO !
   At what point do you say enough is enough and do something about it.
Just search "Government (or even Hawaii for that matter) wastes of money or corruption and you'll find even more than you know about already

    I don't blame those boy's (and girls) a bit. 

   As for the " Mauna Kea knuckleheads'
"They should call in the rapid response unit (or whatever their crack unit is called)

They could have "cut off all supply routes in and out and arrest anyone entering or leaving."
     Occupation of the Mauna Kea visitors center was an "occupation" whether they were armed or not.
Just my opinion.
Sorry Hound 

I could go on and on but I think I would be preaching to the choir.
JMHO

I was going to respond, but I'll let HOSS do it for me:

And what about the arson charges? Starting a forrest fire which puts lives at risk. I am not saying that reversing the sentence isn't suspicious but it is awfully convenient that articles supporting these militias leave out the fact these guys purposefully started a forrest FOREST fire.

Forest FIRE? ? ? ?
DID YOU SEE THE SCRUB LAND THEY WERE USING, ?

NOTHING OVER 2 FT HIGH BUT CACTUS FOR MILES 1

I was going to respond, but I'll let HOSS do it for me:

Hey Q.
Started to watch Hoss but between 1:28  and  2:10 I heard "I don't know, maybe, this may or may not be true, I don't know, I haven't looked into it, I'm not sure, I would assume," .
Sounded like Lie Hagy doing the weather, and therefore got my same reaction.
I can do better by just looking up in the sky.
 
 No comments on "the judge thought the sentence was too short and sent them back for more time."
Let's add recent 2 a posts for more info on similar subject matters where our government is "Taking care of us"  but worse than dialing 911

The fact is that the Oregonians themselves did not want them there, the Hammonds did not want them there, NO ONE WANTED THEM THERE.

There was no call to action; these guys just showed up and 'invaded' Oregon.

Also, they started referring to themselves as the 'militia', yet most of them are not part of the militia. Now, because of their actions, the MSM is referring to them as 'militia members', and they are not giving ALL real militias a bad name, to include the Oregon militia who DOES NOT WANT THEM THERE.

Not sure how you arrived at the thought of 'these guys are doing the right thing', because no one asked for them to come and no one wanted their help. In fact, the people that they came to 'help' feel they are making the situation worse.

how you arrived at the thought of 'these guys are doing the right thing',"  as I never said that. 

My main point was and still is . . . .
So they were arrested, they were sentenced, and they served their time. (and were released)
Then "the judge thought the sentence was too short and sent them back for more time
Sending them back for more time is like being sentenced twice for the same crime.
and
   At what point do you say enough is enough and do something about it.

Neither of which anyone has responded to.

BURNS, Ore. (AP) — Authorities say shots were fired Tuesday during the arrest of members of an
armed group that has occupied a national wildlife refuge in Oregon for more than three weeks.

In a statement, the FBI said one individual “who was a subject of a federal probable cause arrest is
deceased.” No other information about the deceased was immediately released.

The FBI said authorities arrested Ammon Bundy, 40, his brother Ryan Bundy, 43, Brian Cavalier, 44,
Shawna Cox, 59, and Ryan Payne, 32, during a traffic stop on U.S. Highway 395 Tuesday afternoon.
 Authorities said another person, Joseph Donald O’Shaughnessy, 45, was arrested in Burns.
