I think you omitted the word "not" between the word "is" and "going".

No doubt.

This is violence in the name of political or judicial change.

So, isn't this terrorism?

It's a remote building 30 miles from the nearest town in the middle of Nowhere, Oregon. Maybe the best thing to do is ignore it for a while. Don't give their demands any legitimacy.

Well the delusional guy basically thinks they have already toppled the BLM so that ship has sailed. The more time they are allowed to hold federal property without punishment is further legitimizing them to me. Besides, he is calling for more and more people to join them. I don't want this thing to grow anymore than it already has.

If only there were this thing called the National Guard perhaps?

Apparently there is a twitter account that has hilariously labeled them "ya'll Qaeda." Roflmao

‘I didn’t come here to shoot, I came here to die’: Oregon militia occupiers fess up to local reporters

hile headliners from the national media are either en route or remaining in their studios to cover the militia takeover of a federal building in Burns, Oregon, local reporters are working the front lines and tweeting updates as the armed “patriots” settle into what they say will be a long occupation.

On social media, many have complained about the big networks either passing on the militia takeover story or soft-pedaling it. Local reporters, who covered the Hammond trial and saw militia members begin to gather in the small town, have set up their own camp outside of the occupied Malheur National Wildlife Refuge to report on their doings.
Writing for OPB, Amanda Peacher stated that early estimates of 150 occupiers are wildly inflated, saying, “only a few dozen men are occupying the federal building.”

According to Peacher, federal employees were advised to stay clear of the refuge, in a memo that read: “Our top concern is employee safety. All employees are accounted for, and the Refuge will be closed until further notice. Employees of all land management agencies in the area will operate from alternate worksites, telework, or administrative leave.”

Outside of the refuge, she interviewed one militia member — identifying himself only as “Capt. Moroni” — who told her, “I didn’t come here to shoot, I came here to die.”



According to Jason Wilson, who drove in from Portland to cover the stand-off for the Guardian, “There were no law enforcement agents visible in the area around the refuge. A man with a goatee beard and wraparound sunglasses stood guard, armed with an AR-15-style rifle, and refused entry to the federally owned facility.”

“He declined to give his name or affiliation, citing ‘operational security,'” Wilson wrote. “He did confirm, however, that the men – several of whom were openly carrying assault weapons – would be camping on the site. ‘This public land belongs to we the people,’ he said. ‘We’ll be here enjoying the snow and the scenery.’”

Wilson was also one of the first to photograph armed militiamen as they began the takeover of the federal facility.

OregonLive reporter Les Zaitz was the first to speak with ringleader Ammon Bundy who told him, “The facility has been the tool to do all the tyranny that has been placed upon the Hammonds. We’re planning on staying here for years, absolutely. This is not a decision we’ve made at the last minute.”

According to Zaitz, the FBI is in charge at the scene because the refuge is on federal property.

Additionally, the Harney County Sheriff’s Office and Oregon State Police are on the scene as well. Zaitz tweeted this morning that Bundy had scheduled a press conference for 11AM.

This is domestic terrorism. They have taken over a federal building with armed militiamen according to this story.

Right. A batallion of Marines will arrive soon to kill the guys...if the government can get them to fire on American citizens.

Cut off the electricity, blockade the roads, and jam their communications. They'd last about a week.

Have drones circle the compound blaring recordings of Hillary speeches...

Who have they hurt? Got any hostages? Have they even threatened anyone?

Just who are they terrorizing?

That should drive any sane person crazy. Maybe, they'll just leave under such a viscious assault. I would.

Or not. They might just enjoy the attention. I doubt any of that would bother these guys in the least.

Yeah, that is totally what I suggested.

I wonder if Poncho is there?

In phone interviews from inside the occupied building Saturday night, Ammon Bundy and his brother, Ryan Bundy, said they are not looking to hurt anyone. But they would not rule out violence if police tried to remove them, they said.

"The facility has been the tool to do all the tyranny that has been placed upon the Hammonds," Ammon Bundy said.

"We're planning on staying here for years, absolutely," he added. "This is not a decision we've made at the last minute."

Ian Kullgren, a reporter for The Oregonian, posted on Twitter that he had spoken by phone with Mr. Bundy on Sunday morning.

I talked to Ryan Bundy on the phone again. He said they're willing to kill and be killed if necessary. #OregonUnderAttack
