There should not have been a murder just because they were protesting land ownership by the federal government.
If we find the ID of the trigger, then that would also be interesting.
Why go to John Day for a meeting unless someone had agreed to it being set up? No one goes ‘hoping’ to find a meeting when they arrive.
You are right. Something stinks.
I believe there was a meeting set up.
But by who? And why?
We already know that the protestors had been infiltrated.
On the other hand, they may have also found that the feds were planning a large raid on the refuge and were attempting to keep that from happening by moving to another location.
We just do not know.
