historic buildings on the facility including the museum of the refuge. None of these buildings is a cabin. The buildings are not 'otherwise empty' in any sense, these buildings would be open to the public today if they were not being occupied by these criminals. When no people are present, the WPA era buildings are still not empty in that they house the collection of the history of the place and the wildlife there.

I have been to and worked extensively in Manhattan. My guess is that you have seen Oregon on a map. Just for fun, let me share with you the fact that the refuge itself contains more land than all 5 boroughs of NYC, the refuge is larger than the city of Chicago. But that does not mean it is 'empty' nor does that make all the buildings 'cabins'. The fact that the museum is not MOMA does not mean it has no value, in terms of the refuge the collection is of great value.

Your claim is that 'a thousand occupations' would answer any action against these people. Reality shows us they are getting little support, but you claim they are heroes to thousands of eager fellow criminals. That's a hell of a leap away from known fact.
