Clearly haven’t been to some parts of Rural America. I’ve had a very similar conversation with a sheriff when feds(EPA) showed up on our property with no warrant and started poking around. Asked me if I wanted to press trespassing charges or bury them in the old gravel pit.

What paperwork? After the snake pit, ain’t gonna be nuttin’ left to do paperwork on. And we discussed getting rid of all the other evidence. Just look the other way, Sheriff.
And as for swearing to G-d, pffft, they don’t believe in G-d. If they did, they wouldn’t be working for the Federal DHS. Don’t trust them, don’t believe them. It would be a Faustian bargain if you let them loose. THEY, PERSONALLY, may not be back, but they’ll tell their teammates/superiors, who will send others, ad infinitum.
Best to make them totally disappear. Leave the mystery to “whatever happened to . . . . ” That, and a little bit of psychological fear, “Here there be dragons” at the edge of the world.
Agreed. Now this one makes total sense. Hogs eat every trace, bones and all.

Actually the likelihood is that they *do* believe in god. Last detailed study on that sort of thing indicated that 20% of Americans are “none of the above” in their religious affiliation. About 2.5 percentage points out of that twenty (1 out of 8 of the one out of five) actually said they were atheist or agnostic, another 2.5% wouldn’t but their description of what they think about religion indicates the term does fit. (“Atheist” has a social stigma attached to it because of all the ridiculous tripe some people put out about how they eat babies, etc.)
Given that, most Democrats can’t be atheists, and its surpassingly unlikely that all DHS employees are. In point of fact they probably go to church and think of themselves as upstanding Christians.
Which doesn’t mean they’re right about that.

Ugh. Grammar and clarity fix: Second paragraph should read:
“Given that five percent of Americans are, basically, atheists, and more than five percent are Democrats or even liberals (as the word is presently misused) they can’t all be atheists. It’s also highly unlikely, that every single DHS employee is an atheist. In point of fact they probably go to church and think of themselves as upstanding Christians just trying to keep America safe.”

This idea has a lot of merit…in fact you could turn Naomi loose on them…nothing more terrifying than a Mossad trained sniper chick….who’s pregnant and hormonal…if the one thing doesn’t scare the shit out of them, the other surely will……

The problem with that is, while we don’t know how many it will take, to over-run the Ranch, we know how many they are going to use. Seems there has to be a limit somewhere, but we’ve got a few instances from the past as reference, an it doesn’t look good for the non law breaking citizens.

Sometimes allowing an enemy to live is more effective than his death. Not to sound too blood-thirsty, but damage to the spinal cord at C7 (read about use of a large, flat razor-sharp chisel in one novel) will produce a quadraplegic who may even have to be on a ventilator in order to breathe. I wouldn’t feel all that upset if a few of those Feds who killed the women and children at Waco suffered that fate. Sure would be good advertisement for finding an honest job instead of being a JBT. [Chris feel free to delete this if you think it’s over-the-top.]
Nope, not over the top. Potentially inconvenient though. I like the “feed ’em to the hogs after the snakepit” concept. I bet the aroma coming out of the bed of Wade’s truck is pungent right about now.
January 23, 2015 at 8:52 am
B Woodman
Nice thought, making them into quadriplegics. But it would still then require too many pocket-picked stolen-by-force-of-gubbment tax dollars to keep them alive. And it might give incentive to the next group of DHS goons to go for another raid (Look what the bastards did to Joe and Jim! Let’s get’em!). Nope. Save the money. Into the Snake pit.
January 23, 2015 at 6:21 pm

C7 is a bit low… they’d still have some arm movement and be able to breathe fairly effectively. C4, on the other hand….

Very deep pit, quick lime. Fill. Car abandoned far away. Repeat as necessary. No innocent rattlers need be harmed in the making of this solution. Given enough time, destroying all sensory organs before rendering quadriplegic, trapping the offender in a helpless, uncommunicative existence would be appropriate … as well as serving as a truly frightening warning to the totalitarians. In WW2, the Norwegian Resistance abducted collaborators to remove their tongues by professional surgeons, then released them. Once the Resistance’s campaign became well known, the problem of quislings declined dramatically. Truly a creative & elegant solution!

Don’t abandon the car – take it apart for parts, sandblast the body pieces then take them to a no-questions-asked recycler for some cash. Then use the cash to buy ammo.
Longer-term thinking is important in these sorts of things.
After one catch and release, can they get Don Portago to move the diplomatic cover from Fla. To Texas? Or does Chris have something new up his sleeve?
January 23, 2015 at 3:33 am

Nope you can’t release them… the next crew they send will have the warrants and all associated paper work ready with all ‘is’ dotted and all ‘tees’ crossed… feed them to the pigs and leave their vehicle on the Mexican side of the border with the keys in it and the doors unlocked…

Charge them with local and state crimes, and go for maximum penalties as a statement to a government that can send DHS to spy on citizens while stopping the Border Patrol from protecting these same people. And then claiming the border is safer than ever.

While I share the emotional outrage at the lawless actions of the feddies I find it hard to justify outright murder. (Now if they had let off even ONE round ….)
Public Embarrassment and Humiliation (the press conference mentioned above) with national coverage would make their federal careers short and not so sweet. It would also instill an element of “doubt” in the other feddies that might be assigned to surveil the ranch in the future.
I can picture it now … (Jump in any time Chris …)
“So Joe how are things at the ranch looking?
Just fine Jim, I can see the entire thing from right here at the front counter of the Dunked Doughnut.
Excellent. I’ll see you in eight to relieve you.
Great Jim and by the way watch out for the jalapena jelly … ‘smighty tasty.”
If there had been even one round expended by the lawless feddies then I would be helping drag the battered and severely damaged carcasses to the hog pen myself. I own, among other things, a shovel.

I agree with Capn. Stick them with something to embarrass, to ridicule, or to make them look like asses and that will stick with them longer than anything, especially if it becomes public knowledge. That’s why I liked it when a time back, Zed zapped the Feds with the dart rifle and put them to sleep. None of them would have wanted to write the report that the subject of their surveillance got the drop on them, put the sleep on them, and then let them walk away.
