BURNS-The dividing line over a monthlong armed standoff in this rural Oregon community deepened Monday.
Hundreds of people converged on the county courthouse lawn to send a singular message to the remaining occupiers at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and their supporters: Go home.
But backers of the anti-government standoff also turned out by the hundreds and made clear they would not back down.
The dueling demonstrations diverted attention from the takeover of the refuge headquarters, now in its 31st day. Officials confirmed the final four holdouts remain entrenched there, refusing to leave without immunity in hand.
Not all the 500 people who gathered at the courthouse were from Harney County. A self-styled patriot group from Idaho organized the protest backing the occupation.
Yet locals stood on both sides of the sidewalk that divided the protests. Chants of "Stand down, leave our town!" from one group were met with "We are home!" from the other.
"Burns is the fightingest town you will ever meet," said Terri Strickland, a resident who sided with the pro-occupation group.
The protests lasted about four hours at full throttle, dwindling only in the fifth hour to a handful of people. County officials took in the scene from the second-floor courthouse windows. They scanned the crowd and spotted familiar faces.....
Standoff supporters focused on the death of Robert "LaVoy' Finicum, an occupation spokesman who was shot and killed last week during a confrontation with state police and the FBI about 20 miles north of Burns as he and others traveled to a meeting in John Day.
Lindsay Tyler of Burns spent two hours making cardboard signs for the protest, many with a photo of Finicum bordered by decorative duct tape. Others had the message: "FBI, at least you can go home to your families. Lavoy can't."....

Guess who's property taxes will double next year?
Thanks for the link, this is better than other video I have seen.
Stupid woman. No, you can't take it from there. You have no voice. The BLM assassinated Lavoy Finicum precisely BECAUSE people were finding their voice and they can't have that.
The BLM shouldn't even exist and now it is taking over people's property and granting rights to the natural resources that land contains to foreign governments.
In this case, Hillary Clinton sold Uranium mining rights to Russian in exchange for campaign donations.
BTW, from what I hear, half the town or Burns (or it may be half of Harney County) works for The BLM.
Another BTW, is it just a coincidence that the Bureau of Land Management shares its initialization with another lawless thug organization called Black Lives Matter?

I kept getting a "Connection Error" message.
A little help, Mods?
I think it’s worth repeating...
Thank you.

All over this nation, Americans are losing everything they have. And they’re doing it because they don’t seem to have the ability to figure out what’s happening to them and why. They just don’t want to upset an applecart full of rotten apples.
The Oregon ranchers and all those ranchers who live along the southern border are losing their way of life that has sustained Americans for generations. They won’t stand with the few and proud who are trying to defend it.
They’ll go the same way the small farmers have. They’ll go the same way the coal miners have. They’ll go the same way American oil producers are going to go. And, although they can’t see it yet, they’ll go the same way Iowans are going to go without support for the industry that has brought thousands of jobs to their state. That’s what creeping Socialist/Marxism does. More people depending on handouts instead of working for a living. More government control of American land and the resources it contains instead of productive use that benefits working Americans.
As a matter of fact, there’s not much done in this country nowadays that benefits Americans. It’s a bit by bit parceling out rummage sale for the whole world. The pickings are getting mighty slim, even for the bargain hunters. And people do what they’ve learned to do from their handlers. They don’t rock the boat. They hang on to what pittance they’ve been left with until the final twist and someone comes and tells them they can’t even stay there anymore. The government has “other plans”. Hard working, self sufficient, responsible dinosaurs like the ranchers, coal miners and farmers just don’t fit in it.
