Three of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy's sons and what they claim are 150 militia members have occupied a federal building in eastern Oregon in order to keep two local ranchers out of prison, according to local reports.
The group is believed to be heavily-armed.
According to The Oregonian, the group seized the headquarters building at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge about 50 miles outside Burns, Ore. The remote facility was closed and unoccupied at the time.
Bundy and his supporters were in Oregon after two men were scheduled to go to prison on Monday for setting fires on federal land, according to a report by Oregon Public Broadcasting. The case has caused a stir in eastern Oregon because the two men were charged under anti-terrorism laws.

First the story says “heavily armed” and later says whether armed is not known.
If they have weapons in a federal building, they have screwed up.
Clearly AWDA and mad as hell.
As I wrote in another thread, the federal government needs to use whatever force necessary to protect public property, arrest these militia, jail them, convict them, and send them to prison. As an American, a veteran, I say zero tolerance to inciting rebellion and taking up arms against the US. These thugs are no better than the people rioting in Baltimore, occupying Wall Street, etc. They are definitely not someone any red-blooded American conservative should be supporting.
Well, ir’s a start to regaining an actual representative gov’t.
What constitutes public property?
This stuff is starting to get real.
I’m sure 0bama and Loretta Lynch are dancing over this. Finally getting their white boogeyman.
True, but this is just sort of “armed”rebellion story that the media has been waiting for. Bad tactic on the part of the ranchers.
Yeah it is. Domestic terrorism and now this.
Ammon Bundy=John Brown?
I hope the mods don’t knock this story down like mine was.
But something is brewing tonight that smells bad and is worthy of Breaking News treatment.
This may be a false flag op for those who consider such things.
The Portland Oregonian/Oregon Live story on this includes this paragraph.
“Government sources told The Oregonian/Oregon Live that the militia also was planning to occupy a close wildland station near the town of Frenchglen. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management posts crews there during the fire season.”
The feds appear to be well informed and agents-informants are probably planted among the protestors in my estimation.
The people the media spoke with from the protest group would not comment on whether they were armed.......
“As an American, a veteran, I say zero tolerance to inciting rebellion and taking up arms against the US”
Then our forefathers would’ve been in that same category.
We are under more tyranny than we were back then, by far. Our freedoms have been eroded and the Constitution trampled on.
I’m all for CWII. (But it has to be done smarter than this.)
Have a bad feeling that that isn’t going to end too well — for the Bundy bros.
“Bundy and his supporters were in Oregon after two men were scheduled to go to prison on Monday for setting fires on federal land,”
They should go to prison. Who are these freaks? Possibly endangering people and wildlife and for what? What gives them the right to do this?
As I spoke in another tavern, the British need to use whatever force necessary to protect public property, arrest these militia, jail them, convict them, and send them to prison. As a citizen of the crown, a veteran, I say zero tolerance to inciting rebellion and taking up arms against the King. These thugs are no better than the people rioting in Boston, destroying tea, etc. They are definitely not someone any red-blooded British loyalist should be supporting.
God save the King!
