Oregon Militia Standoff Surrounded By Heavily Armed Pacific Patriot Network Ammon Bundy Blindsided
January 9, 2016
Patrick Frye
The Oregon militia standoff continues to this day, with Ammon Bundys group continuing to occupy parts of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and the Harney County Courthouse. Without warning, heavily armed members of the Pacific Patriot Network surrounded the encampments with their convoys. The Pacific Patriot Network is an umbrella group for Oregon militias, and they say they have set themselves between the Bundy Randy group and the U.S. federal governments agents in order to work out a peaceful resolution to the Oregon standoff.
In a related report by the Inquisitr, Bundys Oregon militia initially told reporters they had enough food and supplies to carry on the standoff for years, but they are now saying they are willing to accept donations in order to help them.
...
Now, the other Oregon militia groups are directly intervening in Ammon Bundys standoff. A convoy of heavily armed men surrounded the federal courthouse and also sent more men to the wildlife refuge. The Pacific Patriot Network said they were going to act as a neutral party, but they also brought many men armed with rifles.
...
Ammon felt blindsided, Macfarlane said. This was not a welcome development. We are trying to de-escalate here then boom, they all show up.

That is what the Feds are doing IMO, letting it play out until it's so absurd they can remove them

Well, we disagree. We simply don't know how this is going to play out, at all.

That looks more like a press conference, not women&kids hunkered-down IN the Federal Bldg.

Yes. This isn't rocket science. The FBI is beginning to look downright complicit

I think they resent the humiliation that Bundy is visiting down on all militias, by association
