If you haven't heard already, the FBI has taken a few of the Terrorists into custody and killed one. The remainder are still holed up in the wildlife refuge, but no longer with unfettered access to come and go as they once had.

You know, things that should have happened weeks ago.

Now turn of the damn power and water. They'll leave on their own one they get cold and thirsty.

It's about time action was taken....too bad someone had to die. Shouldn't had to have come to that.

The Feds should tell those that remain how their leader fought to the death and die fighting in the cause he believed in like he said he would.
Oh, he didn't do that? Then why should they?

Alex Shull I think it was more a matter of letting the impotence of the group be displayed for the world to see and not legitimatizing them.  

Come in with guns blazing, and the government fills the role of villain in the group's narrative.  Let them instead be seen as people abandoning their families, in order to stand up against a perceived "bully" who isn't bullying, and they look weak and contradictory themselves.

I believe that these events were all about just giving them enough rope to hang themselves with.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
