I still can't understand why they ever closed the schools 30 miles away from all of this... Trying to scare people I suppose Straight out of the liberals playbook. Who runs the schools? Guv What could their motivation be? Scaring people. And it's working judging by the peoples reaction to the standoff in Burns. All the libs do is based on emotion, not logic. Or logically they use emotion to achieve their ends.

The feds don't have to do anything.
Sooner or later the press will get tired of the "non-event" and leave.
Sooner or later the protestors will tire of it themselves, and go home.
At that point, instead of a fortified firefight in the public eye, they can take them down one at a time. And if the guy gets shot, who is going say what went on?
Exactly ^^^^^

Billing them $75,000 a day should work. I can hear 1minute cheering now.

The community held its second public "situation" meeting last night in the high school gym again with standing room attendance. Heckling or disruptive behavior was not to be tolerated. Local law enforcement, a County Commissioner, County Judge, and our State Representative gave brief reports, and the floor was opened for comment. An occupier supporter (or perhaps more correctly one of their representatives) persisted in yelling out "constitutional" asides and was escorted out by enforcement after a second warning with the police action receiving a standing ovation.
To date there is not a sealed perimeter around the occupation and folks are still free to come and go. That may change as authorities are requesting that occupier support efforts please cease. Perhaps a hint that they may be starved out. There was also mention that the sands are passing through the hour glass, possibly a hint of a resolution time line.
Visits to any part of the refuge are now being discouraged. That's a disappointment to Cookie, as there is a black doe/fawn pair on the property that she's valiantly trying to get pictures of.
Latest news is the occupiers are using Refuge equipment to rip out perimeter fencing, rifling though offices and files, and continuing to threaten and harass local officials and law enforcement. Likely they have accrued enough charges with their actions that all will be classed as felons when the dust eventually settles. Our local county administrators intend to hand them an invoice for the additional expenses being absorbed. Presently it amounting to about $75,000 a day if support for the state, federal, and military resources are included. Property damage may add some multiples to those figures.
There's near universal agreement from the community that the group should vacate now. Our schools are back in session, but in a lock down mode. All doors are locked, and public entry is solely through front central and only with an escort.
The statement with perhaps the greatest impact last night, came from a 12 year old child, near collapsing in tears as she attempted to describe her concerns. Assurances that all is fine, don't cut it for her when acquaintances including law enforcement wives and kids are vacating the community.
Plans are for our Monday evening information sessions to continue until the issue is resolved. There were about a dozen media type persons with cameras at the session, but the dished up real-time transmission big rigs were notably absent. With our short attention spans, interest has likely waned outside of the community.
Have a good one, Nice slant. I'll ask again, gov employee? BLM cop maybe? Something smells awful each time I read your interpretation of what's going on there. Maybe just a big azz puzzy who doesn't care if or how much the government violates the constitutional rights of others, as long as it doesn't affect or inconvenience them ?

Go home, Ammon. Work on getting the Hammonds out of the slam for a wrongful PERsecution under a law that should never have been applied to this case.

You won't read a single post from any of us that's slant-free. What you're "smelling" is a local couple who enjoys living and recreating in a beautiful county, but who's day to day tranquility is getting all fucqued up with throngs of new faces that shouldn't be there. You might not understand, since your neighborhood will never approach what Harney County offers, but if roles were reversed, I'd expect a similar tone from you. His reports are always thoughtful and well written, and his opinions are clearly stated as his own. Calling him out makes YOU look bad, not him.

I cheer them on for standing up to the federal govt. What are any of us doing to correct what we think is wrong with this country compared to the stand they're making, risking everything?
Love 'em or hate 'em, we have the same enemy and they're doing something about it. Now the feds are going to charge them $75,000 a day? For the love of God, could someone, anyone, justify that cost in any way shape or fashion? And never mind the maliciousness behind the thought.
Come on people, don't you see what's going on here? The feds will break them one way or another. The BIG hand of the govt will wreck lives and half of you will cheer them on.
I can disagree with the logistics of the situation while seeing the need for change of the govt. I don't know if they'll succeed, but I know one thing for damn sure, the feds are going to make it hurt, for years. That right there should give all of us pause as to what we're dealing with. If the power of the feds to absolutely wreck your life doesn't scare the piss right down your leg, you're not paying attention. Or you're on the wrong side.

Todays rumors are the occupiers will hold an open community meeting this coming Friday or Saturday (depends on source) and outline their plans and or conditions for departure. Time and place yet to be determined. If still predicated on the Hammond's release, they're in for the long haul.
Be interesting to see if it's out in the sagebrush surrounded by arms all around or a warm and civil sitdown session somewhere in town.

I think I'm smart enough to read these updates with a filter if necessary. Good points on both sides. There must not be too much national coverage. I'm not totally clueless about things like this but I just haven't heard much of anything.

I don't think the govt. & MSM WANT you to hear much about this...if the TRUTH were known too far & too wide, this type situation would happen with far more frequency. Another case of the media being in the govts. pocket....
