The legal definitions of suicide are always fascinating, arenāt they? Iād be curious if self-endangerment is legally relevant here.

On federal land? Seems different than if it were ones own house, to be sure.
More like just another public park.
The irony will be when he sues USFWS for the frostbite.

Iāve been thinking about buying a caboose to live in, and I certainly need a lot of crushed rock to put the rails on. Wonder how good they are with a ten pound sledge?

The more I think about it, the more it seems like theyāve taken themselves hostage. Self-terrorism, then? I suppose it would be terrifying to wake up and realized that youāre still Ammon Bundy.

Likely to be messinā with the thermostat too, which isā¦like taking a farm loan (and if heās costing taxpayers up to $22,340 by not paying back $480kā¦) what? Someone gets whiffle points for putting confusion in the hay.

Well then you should go check out the winter migration of birds at the Malheur facility. If you feel afraid to go there right now. If you feel that you might be in physical danger for going birding near them. Then you have just been terrorized by terrorist. This is because terrorist use fear as their primary weapon. Bombs, hostages, guns, and threats of violence are just secondary tools of trade to generate fear to control you.

Please explain how there is a meaningful difference between these two scenarios:
Scenario A: āWe have a bomb, and if you try to arrest or remove us we will detonate it.ā
Scenario B: āWe have guns, and if you try to arrest or remove us we will use them to kill you.ā

Isnāt that because the cops have blocked the ways in and are waiting them out, rather than confronting armed men who threaten to shoot them?

If we donāt give them that, it just emboldens them. This is the SAME Bundy family that was threatening to shoot law enforcement the last time (which they got away with as well).

If I walk into a bank carrying a gun and say ādo as I say and nobody gets hurt,ā thatās still an armed robbery even if I donāt point the gun directly at the tellerās face. Itās the credible threat of deadly violence that makes the crime.

True, the legal definition of aggravated robbery requires only the presence of a deadly weapon. I have no idea whether this same reasoning applies to the legal definition of domestic terrorism, however, and without any other legal context (or for that matter, legal training whatsoever), I interpreted it to mean āclear and present dangerā to human life (as amply demonstrated in the photo above of last yearās standoff).
Again, I ask: is there a criminal law scholar in the house?
