Montana rssident Roxsanna Ryan, who homeschooled her 12 children, said she wasn't surprised when her middle child Jake Ryan, 28, chose to stay at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge last winter when he accompanied his father and brothers on a drive from their home to deliver community-donated goods....

..the next time she heard from Jake Ryan was the night of Jan. 26, 2016, in a "goodbye" call, his voice shaking and in fear following the police fatal shooting of occupation spokesman Robert "LaVoy" Finicum.

"He says will you please tell everyone goodbye for me," she recalled. "He said things are pretty hectic here. I don't know what's going to happen, but I love you and please take care."....

Jake Ryan, Jason Patrick, Duane Ehmer and Darryl Thorn are charged....

"More than anything I wanted my children to be able to think for themselves,"......

....raised her children to read the U.S. Constitution and the Bible. A typical writing assignment would be asking them to copy and amendment of the U.S. Constitution and then explain what they thought it meant.....

... "He felt like he needed to go support the Hammonds and be there." In a prior response that was stricken by the court as non-responsive and beyond the scope of the question, she said, "It was his earnest desire to see and to stand with men who were willing to support their neighbor."...

Debra Ann Johnson, a Burns resident, rancher's wife and mother of five children, said she visited the refuge with her children on Jan. 4, 2016...

"My goal was to help the kids see what was going on....Most of all, put my kids' minds at ease about what was going on."

She recalled meeting Patrick. "He just wanted people to read the Constitution and know it for themselves,".........

The defense is trying to get an FBI informant, William Kullman, to show up and testify on Monday.

Judge Anna Brown wants them to try again to contact Kullman to get him to show up voluntarily before she issues any arrest warrant.

Kullman had the idea set up a shooting range at the Oregon Standoff protest.

Another FBI informant, Fabio Minnogio, provided firearms training at the range. Video has been used by the prosecutors of shooting at the range to paint defendants as having violent intentions.

LaVoy Finicum made a couple of tapes & put them on You Tube
explaining his position on the Federal Government charging
ranchers for grazing & watering their cattle on
“government lands”. He was sitting with some of his cattle
at a watering hole and seemed to be sensible in his grasp
of government overreach.

LaVoy made those tapes just a couple of weeks before he
was killed by Fed. reps.
