Here's a quote for you, Mr. David Idiot Fry: "The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one."
"After several dramatic moments, federal agents on Thursday morning finally managed to end the standoff with a self-described armed militia group who had been holed up at an Oregon wildlife refuge for more than a month.
A tense night of negotiating between the four remaining gunmen and federal officials who had them surrounded resulted in all but one turning themselves over to authorities.
But 27-year-old Ohio native David Fry was unwilling to hand over his weapons and walk off the Malheur reserve. Supporters spent hours talking him down from the brink of suicide, as his voice was broadcast via live stream to tens of thousands of people on YouTube. Shortly after 2 p.m. ET, after threatening to take his own life, he finally stood down and peacefully left the reserve...
..."I declare war against the federal government because they have been trampling on my first amendment rights, so there is no way to beat this any more but liberty or death," said Fry, the final holdout, as he threatened to shoot himself...
...The tone took a frantic turn though after the three left the building. And Fry's voice quickly grew frantic. "Unless my grievances are heard I will not come," shouted Fry.
He took a similar stance on the live stream the night before when Fry, who seemed to be the most unhinged of the group, shouted at the authorities multiple times, asking them to kill him: "I'm done talking, I'm done praying, that's it," he screamed. Hours later, he finally left the reserve."
