Showing Original Post only (View all)Bundy Gang can't use County Fairgrounds to gin up support for their "Cause." [View all]
http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/01/oregon_standoff_harney_county_1.html"We have a longstanding practice of allowing community groups to use county facilities," said Harney County commissioner Steven Grasty. "But we unfortunately now find ourselves in a place where the county must deny those facilities to any group that is supportive of, associated with, or on the behalf of the militants at the refuge."
Well finally someone gets it that giving these guys a platform to promulgate their nutbag theories about the Constitution is counter productive. Maybe their supporters should hold their dang meeting out at the Refuge and the Feds can move in and arrest the lot of them.

In a way it's a guilty pleasure, because I keep waiting for them to be arrested

If they want it, they'll take it. That's what they do and no one is stopping them.

In other words, the county fair board didn't want the Bundy Gang to try stealing the fairgrounds
