Headlined:
‘Armed militia, incl. Bundy bros, occupy forest preserve HQ in Oregon, call “US patriots” to arms’
First part of story:
‘Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s three sons and ‘about 150’ militiamen have occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge HQ to protest the pending imprisonment of two Oregon ranchers accused of arson, arguing the federal government has no authority in local cases.
“We’re going to be freeing these lands up, and getting ranchers back to ranching, getting the loggers back to logging, getting the miners back to mining where they could do it under the protection of the people and not be afraid of the tyranny that’s been set upon them.” Ammon Bundy, who appears to be leader of the group, said in a Facebook video posted by Sarah Dee Spurlock on Saturday.......’
Funny, not a mention of this story on the CNN home page.
This statement comes from the Harney County, Oregon Sheriff minutes ago.
Sheriff Dave Ward as quoted by “The Oregonian/Oregon Live” website and posted on breakingnews.com:
“After the peaceful rally was completed today, a group of outside militants drove to the Malheur Wildlife Refuge, where they seized and occupied the refuge headquarters. A collective effort from multiple agencies is currently working on a solution. For the time being please stay away from that area.....Please maintain a peaceful and united front and allow us to work through this situation”
