You mean the guys in southern Oregon? By the letter of the law, maybe not, but I don't disagree with the sentiment.
What's sick about that whole thing to me is that a couple of my old friends supported that bullshit one was actually considering joining them. It seems we've gone opposite directions politically over the years. It kind of feels like a microcosm of the divisive politics we have nationally.
This seems to me a culmination of decades of right wing dissent that ultimately resulted in the political situation we have today. I don't blame Trump for the political climate, I blame the political climate for Trump. He has done very little to bring attention to and discourage the violence though, and that is on him (not to mention that he seemed to be egging it on during the campaign).
