79-Year-Old Bird Watcher Takes Down Oregon Militant With Old High School Wrestling Move -- THE LAPINE

"An FBI spokesperson at the entrance to the refuge told reporters that this is the first reported instance of any conflict between the occupying militant group and locals but warned that things could escalate quickly as other armed militants continue to arrive by the truckload.
“We’re hoping this is an isolated incident and we’re asking the elderly not to knock any more militants on their ass,” said the grinning FBI agent."

Perhaps not as an official statement. But the agents had to be laughing their asses off. I could see it.

I agree with the "youth" part. Doesn't sound like there was much skill involved with the sentry.

Grandfather of four Robert Saunders says he was just out to check on some young burrowing owls at the crack of dawn this morning when he was confronted by a “red-faced pudgy man with a big gun”.
And things got physical when Saunders refused the barked orders to halt and identify himself.

Must have been an off Duty Cop.

By the way, you don't have to identify yourself until a REAL Cop places you under arrest.

Sorry about that! Lol

Hey, this old man could play a pretty mean brand of basketball up until I was 51. Old age and treachery got me in double figures many a game.

The OP was duped....

The Lapine is all about poking people and things that deserve to be poked. It is satirical commentary written by all kinds of people from here, there and darned near everywhere.

I liked the burrowing owls part. My neighbor. Ya know the one I've commented on that burned blm ground with a fire.
He filed on some blm land to farm, and he was about to get it.
But they told him he couldn't farm it because it had burrowing owls on it.
