Featured Militiamen seize national park office in Oregon

Not invited, and not wanted by the Hammonds.

 

I hope they simply isolate these people and let them squat on the facilities. Won't be long and they will be turning on each other and people will give up their "protest" and start leaving the area.

Here is the area on satellite photos.





You can go to this link and view a slide show of the area. It's fairly desolate.

A militia just took over a federal building in Oregon. Three of the 150 militia members are sons of notorious Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy.

They are occupying the headquarters building at the Malhuer National Wildlife Building to keep local ranchers our of prison. The building is 50 miles outside of Burns, Oregon.

The militia is reportedly heavily armed.


The militia members are upset that 2 ranchers, Dwight and Steve Hammond, were charged under anti-terrorism laws. The Hammonds were set to report to prison on Monday.

The militia believe the Hammonds were illegally prosecuted because they claim the federal government does not have authority at the county level.

According to the Washington Examiner, Ammon Bundy said “This facility has been the tool to do all the tyranny that has been placed upon the Hammonds.”

Cliven Bundy gained national popularity among patriots who rejected the growing overreach of Barack Obama’s federal government. He dug his heels in during an armed standoff with federal officials from the Bureau of Land Management.

Early Saturday, the Bundy family and 300 protesters marched through Burns before taking over the federal refuge.

An unnamed investigative reporter claimed that Ammon Bundy intends to use the refuge as a headquarters for the militia for the foreseeable future.

Bundy also has issues a call to sympathetic citizens to join in his efforts and come to the area, according to the Washington Examiner.

 

I think this country moves closer and closer to another civil war.

 

Take a look at this photo of the crowd arriving at the protest. Strange, but several people are carrying bouquets of flowers. (I've circled them in pink.) Click on image to enlarge.

 

I've since learned that the flowers were given to the Hammond family in Burns, Ore. After the protest, a bunch of people split off from the group and drove out to the refuge center and took possession of it.

 

The "militia" is wrong. The Hammond's were charged with setting fires on Federal land. You commit a federal crime on federal land, guess what?, the Feds will prosecute. The law calls for a mandatory minimum 5 year sentence.

There is another thread on this already started.

 

Now THIS is why some folks don't need guns. This is pure terrorism. Taking control of federal land and then talking about "we'll protect ourselves if we have to ". They are already a threat.

If this was a group of Muslims or black people who took control of a federal building with guns, this would be all over the news and there would probably already be folks dead.

Everyone in there needs to be arrested and charged with domestic terrorism.

 

WRITTEN STATEMENT ON HAMMOND SITUATION:

I regret having to even make this statement, but I have no choice, since Ammon Bundy has not made it sufficiently clear to the patriot community that the Hammond family has declined physical armed help, and by all indications does NOT want any kind of armed stand off with the Federal government, and they do NOT want anyone to attempt to protect Dwight and Steven Hammond from being taken into Federal custody on Monday, January 4, 2016 when they are scheduled to turn themselves in to serve additional time for their felony convictions (which came after a jury found them guilty). They intend to voluntarily turn themselves in and serve out the remainder of their sentence, under federal minimum sentencing statutes, after losing in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on that issue. In fact, they have made it very clear, through a public statement by their lawyer, in a letter to the Sheriff dated December 11, 2015, that:
