It is readily apparent that the citizens of Burns, Oregon don't agree with you. A peaceful protest doesn't require the protestors be armed, and willing to kill "if provoked". Their seizing of Federal property was a provocation instigated by these very same ARMED thugs.
Oh, and I don't pay any attention to whom I am replying to, I just hit "reply" to the post above mine..........and if you can't determine the individuals I was referring to, that's your loss..........naming names generates "interpersonal dispute" sanctions.

Well at least you admit that you are "generating an interpersonal dispute". Of course you are.
No one in this thread stated the Hammonds shouldn't have been charged. For that matter, no one call it a "peaceful" protest, just a protest. Which so far...is peaceful.
What I objected to is the false misleading title of this thread...that is all.
Generate that, lol.
But lets take a closer look at your own words. You said Oregonians were progressive and imaginative. You also said Oregonians were among the most responsible gun owners in the Country...as if you're in a separate Country full of nothing but hi IQs and enlightened folks.
You also said there were no well armed militias. Sure...one mass killing and now this.
Tell me again what's so great about Oregon.
I do however agree with you on the imagination, lol.
I'll repeat, before you use my last points as a deflection tactic...The objection was to the completely inacurate title of this thread. No one agreed with what the militia is doing or what the Hammonds have done.
And at this point I might say something like, "nice try", but it wasn't. : )

A sick joke, just another deflection to defend Islamic Terrorism imo.

No. She's drastically bending the facts. Broke them really.
She's calls herself a writer? This goes a long way to explain what's wrong with todays media.
I feel pretty sick that this type of thing is allowed to be on here. Terrorism is a world wide war and to use it to ameliorate it and to intimate that white Americans are of the same ilk is shameful.

Terrorists live in a fantasy world and will stop
At nothing to seek attention and bring their fanstasy
To light.
Jilly does that sum it up?
In the light of this anyone could be a terrorist
From a farmer with a pitch fork to a witch with a
potion of poison.

Even to the Crusaders - the armed religous armies - 'fighting for our God.'.

I don't like the USA bashing that passes for comment on here.

Of course that is right but we are in the midst of a global terrorist war so what the op wrote is misleading in the extreme.

Care should be taken when using the terror/terrorist/ terrorism word.
This is from 10 years ago.......
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2005/dec/16/terrorism.broadcasting
The new guidance has been sent out internally and tells journalists:
"The guidelines do not ban the use of the word. However, we do ask that careful thought is given to its use by a BBC voice.
There are ways of conveying the full horror and human consequences of acts of terror without using the word 'terrorist' to describe the perpetrators.
And there are a number of important editorial factors that must be considered before its use to describe individuals or a given group that can be justified."
The Lindt Cafe siege, the shooting outside NSW Police Headquarters, were both not pronounced acts of terrorism until national security service and NSW Police deemed it appropriate to call them terrorist related.
I think some poor judgement has been displayed in the title of this thread.

here's a bit more on that story- it's a strange one
