Embattled Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy told OPB that approximately 150 militiamen have occupied Malheur National Wildlife Refuge Building on Saturday evening.
The militiamen are in Burns, Oregon to support Dwight Hammond and his son, Steven Hammond. They're ranchers convicted of arson, who are due to report to prison on Monday.
The militiamen broke in to the federal building with supplies, including food and a generator. Cliven Bundy spoke to his son, Ammon Bundy, on the phone after they occupied the building.
"He told me that they were there for the long run. I guess they figured they're going to be there for whatever it takes--and I don't know what that means," Bundy said.......

The significance of this news remains to be seen, but I felt it should be posted.
Oregon ping
A Bump To The Top. I’ll be watching this one carefully.
It’s being reported that 3 of Cliven Bundy’s relatives may be part of the militia.
Plenty vague...
They’re not BLM or Occupy Wall Street so Obama will Bomb the building as soon as he gets back from vacation
Oregon Public Broadcasting posted this within the last hour.
I did not bump this up from Extended News. Someone else may want to.......
OPB reporter John Sepulvado’s Twitter account posted a link to a You Tube video purported to be from a militiaman.....
I have just started to view it but so far it seems very emotional.......
This is the reporter’s Twitter account with his first post featuring the link which should take you to the video if you click it.
Bookspark... I mean bookmark
The BLM is NOT.
That was the rally that happened before this ‘occupation took place’.
The men who are to report to jail on Monday were convicted for setting a fire to protect their land from brush fires that spread onto federal land.
...for which they had already served time.
Remember, only black lives matter.
This story has been downgraded on FR right now but is spreading across the internet in general.
If you want it bumped up, its your call.
I just caught this story surfing breaking news.com in the last hour.
That’s why I posted it. I posted it in the name of reporting news, not promoting a cause.
I understand.
It’s Monday when the Hammonds are supposed to go back to jail.
The BLM hard on is to ruin these men and their families. And to take the land. Who WANTS the land? The BLM can sell off lands it takes, at least-it has.

Bump me please.
Throw them in jail. This is ridiculous. Read the news stories. These idiots are not wanted or welcomed by the locals. All they are doing is trying to cause trouble. Now they’ve broken into federal buildings, arrest them all, throw them in jail, once convicted, throw them into prison. Be done with them.
It is why no land should be federal land.
Only the 10x10 square in DC. THAT IS IT.
