http://www.opb.org/news/series/burns-oregon-standoff-bundy-militia-news-updates/militants-continue-to-operate-bulldozers-move-soil-in-refuge-/The armed occupiers of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge continue to use government equipment inside the complex.
One militant, who refused to give his name, again plowed dirt with a refuge bulldozer Wednesday. He wouldnt say why he was operating the machinery, but in several places, sagebrush and vegetation had been newly removed, leaving wide patches of bare mud within the complex.
The new road connects a bunkhouse with another road.
Maybe it is time to send in the good guys and arrest the bad guys.

dead by now. Maybe that's the fed plan, let them keep racking up the charges against themselves all by themselves.

arrest these guys.
The Obama DOJ has shown a complete unwillingness to arrest the Bundyclowns for fear that someone might get hurt.

Plural of armed black people is thugs
Plural of armed brown people is terrorists
plural of armed white people is militia

been schooled enough in the new lingo. What was done to OWS, black and brown people is unconscionable.
