I also like "wittol," which means a knowing and contented cuckold. Though that one wouldn't get you many points.

Look, these people are getting the most extraordinarily lenient treatment from the authorities, and yet they still conspire to get themselves killed. Good riddance, I say.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

This is the complete video footage of a joint FBI and Oregon State Police traffic stop and OSP officer-involved shooting of Robert "LaVoy" Finicum along Oreg...
From the video start at 9:15 and watch until 9:40.
Tarp guy drops his hands down a few times before he is unambiguously shot, so judging from that it looks like it doesn't really match the "ran towards cops yelling" story already put out(by militia members too!). Of course, one witness said he was walking away slowly and calmly, so this video is an exercise in why "witnesses said" isn't a very good thing to base news reports off of. EVERYONE'S initial narrative was wrong.
Keep in mind this was not a random traffic stop. The local LEOs would have had at least a passing familiarity with the mindset of a lot of these guys, thanks to their willingness to engage in media interviews and throwing stuff up on youtube for all the world to see. It's probably fair to say that the local LEOs had been briefed on some of the more prominent individuals of the occupiers, of which Finicum the Tarp Guy was certainly one of those. In fact, the Tarp Guy had repeatedly said that he didn't intend on being "taken alive".
If Finicum had been standing still, or even moving very slowly with his hands up...man, knowing what I know about him if his hands had even twitched I think it would be completely expected for him to get shot. It may not have been the best shot, but if I were on a jury for the LEO that shot him, on the basis of this video(which a lot of people are saying it isn't justified), I would not vote to convict.Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.

A federal jury on Thursday found Ammon Bundy, his brother Ryan Bundy, and five co-defendants not guilty of conspiring to prevent federal employees from doing their jobs through intimidation, threat or force during the 41-day occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
WTF?There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

Though rarely done, the judge should set aside the verdict. This is a ****ing terrorist group bent on killing.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

Not just anyone, Aeson. I mean, come on. If a bunch of black guys tried that they wouldn't make it to trial.
