5. Oregon standoff: Anger, frustration boil over at community meeting
Wed Jan 20, 2016, 11:23 AM

A chant then grew in the gymnasium: "Go, go, go, go, go."

That was a message Bundy heard repeatedly through the evening, one he once vowed to heed. He sat expressionless, making no move to respond or to comment.

But the audience of perhaps 300 people had plenty to say, and it seemed the cork had come out of the county.

One woman said she appreciated the attention Bundy has brought to rural issues but told him, "Get the hell out of my county."

Another man gestured at Bundy and gave him the same message.

"Are you happy you did this to our community?" he said.
