The FBI is trying to send the nearby town into absolute hysteria, needlessly closing down schools, post offices, etc. they told some women in town that the "armed insurrection" was planning on kidnapping people and holding them hostage. In the meantime, ranchers and others who live outside of town are driving in and out of the refuge freely.
For the past two nights, there have been problems with people showing up uninvited and attempting to cause a reaction from the men inside. For example, a guy showed up armed and hostile, said some things that got the guys at the gate very nervous, so they asked him to leave and eventually had to force him to leave. Obviously , they can't call the Sheriff to bring law enforcement out there, so they called in the Idaho 3% and the PPN to put a perimeter around them and to be available in the town for any of these sorts of problems. The guys inside are convinced that the "rabble-rousers" trying to come storming in and kick something off are actually being sent in by the FBI.
many thanks for the info!
