This Oregon occupation has to end immediately.

37. Thanks Sheriff Ward and FBI. Now they're emboldened

After the Bundy's asked them to leave the refuge these bastards said they were only there to drop off their "Articles of Resolution" and would leave. But since the FBI and Sheriff Ward welcomed them with open arms they've decided to stay.

Oregon standoff tension mounts as so-called '3%' groups refuse to leave

On Saturday, leaders of the militia group, which began its occupation a week previously, said the outside groups were unwelcome and unnecessary.

A day later, the new militias in town said they would stay until the occupation ended, raising further concerns about the potential for violence.

The leaders of the outside groups insist that they aim to act as mediators between the occupiers of the federal buildings, law enforcement and local residents – and say they will provide protection and security for all. They say they do not endorse the armed takeover of the refuge, by occupation leader Ammon Bundy, and want to ensure it does not end with a deadly shootout.

“We are hopeful for a resolution quickly – one that is mutually beneficial for all parties involved,” Brandon Curtiss, president of a group called 3% of Idaho, told the Guardian on Sunday morning. “We are trying to carry a role as a neutral party and a buffer zone.”

YOU DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO THAT!

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit that tracks hate groups, has labeled Curtiss and his Idaho group anti-government extremists. So-called “three percenter” groups across the country have faced criticisms for armed protests that advocate positions against immigrants, refugees and minorities.

The “three percenter” moniker alludes to the small percentage of colonials such groups claim fought in the American revolutionary war. About 376,000 people fought for the American army and militias, or about 15% of the 13 colonies’ 2.5 million people, although the standing size of forces was small at any given time.

Anti-government militia groups have grown by one-third in the last year, according to the SPLC.

Curtiss is also a co-founder of the Pacific Patriots Network, another group now stationed in Burns that has a history of controversial armed protests.

But people on here are telling me there isn't successful recruitment going on.
