Miliia Correction

I've been under the wrong impression that David Fry is this guy:

when it appears, he's this one:

Fry shouted to the FBI that he did not want to come out to surrender “unless his grievances are heard.” He also said that that he felt suicidal and does not want to go to prison.

He could be heard communicating with the FBI agents at the scene and talking to supporters. More than 30,000 people listened for an hour as he threatened to commit suicide or go out shooting at the agents.

[...]

Eventually Fry said he would come out peacefully if the FBI agents shouted “hallelujah” with him, which they did.

That first nutjob is Sean Anderson.  He and his wife were two of the remaining four to give up this morning.  He's the one who told people to come join them and if the feds tried to stop them from coming, "kill them!"  I think he ought to be spending some hard time in prison for that alone. Sean and wife Sandy were having a rough night last night.

For one night, Sean and Sandy Anderson were the Pumpkin and Honey Bunny of rural America — a volatile pair, armed with guns and in the thrall of their own predicament, like the characters played by Tim Roth and Amanda Plummer in “Pulp Fiction.”

[...]

“We’re gonna die here, and our story will get out that way,” said Sean, a 48-year-old Idaho man with a significant record of misdemeanors, according to the Oregonian.

[...]

Sean and Sandy’s voices were pitched between tirade and whine. They had marooned themselves on a cold prairie of scrub grass, ostensibly to prove a point, but their nerves were fraying.

“I don’t want to go to jail,” said Sandy at one point.

What if they drop the charges? Sean said.

“They won’t,” Sandy said. “They won’t.”

“Then let’s just die here,” Sean said. “I’m not gonna stay here and freeze my ass off all night.”

[...]

As they took turns with their cellphone, Sean and Sandy criticized numerous aspects of American society: irresponsible baby boomers, ignorant millennials, Obamacare, firearm background checks, the neutered media, and Common Core. They listened to Seim recite Psalm 92. Sean invoked the Geneva Conventions and the Boston Tea Party and the riots in Ferguson.

[...]

[Gavin Seim, recording the duo live on internet] noted the tens of thousands of listeners, and compared the occupiers’ stand to the American Revolution.

Sean compared it to “Braveheart.”

“We need a miracle,” Sandy said.

“We gave everything for this country,” Sean said.

[...]

As Sean negotiated with the FBI to surrender Thursday morning, it was rounding midnight on the East Coast, and the number of listeners dipped below 40,000.

“And they all get to go to bed,” Sandy said after asking for the numbers, “while we’re here for their freedom to do that.”

UPDATE:

“I declare war against the federal government!” Fry shouted before he put down his gun and surrendered. “I’m taking a stand. A stand means you’re willing to risk your life.”

That's probably not going to help his case.

Nevada assemblywoman Michele Fiore, a Republican lawmaker and vocal supporter of the Bundys, emerged as a key figure in the negotiations – traveling to the refuge to encourage the last occupiers to leave, and offering them advice and prayers via live-streamed phone calls.

When Fry’s final surrender was heard over the audio stream, Fiore, a supporter for Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, could be heard saying she needed “a hot tub and a massage”.

Rub it in.
