(2,426 posts)These are not Oregon Militiamen, they are from Nevada and Arizona, they are operating in Oregon. The local townspeople are not
supporting this and tried to stop it at a reasonable town meeting, using non violent strategies. The people of Harney County are friendly peaceful good folks. They have lived for about 150 years together in small towns and ranches where people with strong opinions get the rough edges rubbed off for the sake of community.
These people have always been sweet and friendly to we city people who came to have Thanksgiving for years at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge. It is a beautiful, peaceful place, a paradise. As a fourth generation Oregonian I resent that the media keeps saying these
militia are from Oregon. I would like to see some lables like: Outsder Militiamen operating in Oregon. I feel sorry for the good people of Harney County that have to put up with this mess.
