When a small group of young #BlackLivesMatter activists recently threatened to occupy Baltimore City Hall until their demands were met, they soon found themselves locked in overnight and unable to use the restrooms or order pizza.
When militia members took over a building at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge outside Burns, Ore., in January, word was they were ready to die if necessary for their cause. And though photos of the occupied building tweeted by reporters showed what looked like a good assortment of supplies, the occupiers have put out a “wish list” of goods to help them maintain their takeover.

@DaveBaldwinJax I received an email from Carol Bundy about a half hour ago. I did a screen grab of the list.

It is a pretty long list.

@jjmacnab @ArchangelEM so tempting. I'd like to shower them with maxi pads.

Don’t bother … they tried that with the Texas legislature and accomplished nothing.
I'm trying to imagine what they DID bring!
They supposedly "planned for months"
But no sleeping bags?— My son's tattoo (@capeannsky) January 9, 2016
@capeannsky They brought exercise equipment.
— JJ MacNab (@jjmacnab) January 9, 2016
I'm recognizing the seriousness here, as you know
But this list is just evidence of incompetence!!
It's hilarious— My son's tattoo (@capeannsky) January 9, 2016

@Ormeghan @jjmacnab and sour cream! They're adding extra fat to everything–I hope their doctors aren't reading this.
