That Night I Spent with Ammon Bundys Armed Militia
Inside a strange, sad media circus.
by Marnie Hanel
It was just past midnight when I noticed the five magazines of ammunition. Near a window, there was a rifle and a scope. Beside me were two members of Ammon Bundys armed militiathe one that had recently made national news for taking over a federal wildlife sanctuary and a smattering of buildings contained therein. All around us was complete and utter blackness. We were standing atop a watchtower, in 18-degree weather, eight rickety stories above the snow, in the middle of a remote bird sanctuary in Eastern Oregon, 30 miles from the nearest town, which was 130 miles from the next nearest town.
Thus far, it had been a pretty strange night. After dusk, I had arrived at the front gate of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, outside Burns, Oregon. I am admittedly new to militia life, but I was surprised by what I encountered. A number of men were huddled around a campfire, gossiping and passing the time. Two hailed from Idaho and a third, an old-timer in a cowboy hat roughly the width of my shoulders, had driven in from Hermiston, Oregon, with his second-favorite horse trailer. (Only take shit we can lose, his wife insisted.) They were talking about the Three Percenters, a rival militia in Idaho. (They never returned my phone calls, said one man. Sounds like my wife, responded the other.) I stood by Ryan Payne, 32, the response coordinator of the militia. ........
Thank you, Oregon militiamen: The longer you stay, the more ridiculous you and the conservative movement look
The Oregon militia is a gift to liberals, because every day they stay, the more absurd and embarrassing they become

Antigovernment Extremists in Oregon Now Plan Their Own Justice System
Bill Morlin January 13, 2016
Militia and antigovernment extremists illegally occupying a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon are now pledging to form a citizens grand jury to indict and bring criminal charges against public officials and judges the occupiers accuse of committing crimes and violating the Constitution.
With such indictments, the extremists doctrine would justify their attempts to make arrests, get judgments or file liens against the targeted public officials. ......
Unlike the Oregon standoff where there is little or no law enforcement presence, the FBI rotated its regional SWAT teams into Jordan, Mont., controlling the perimeter and not allowing anyone in or out. Without a shot fired, the Freeman siege ended after 81 days the longest FBI standoff in U.S. history. Those involved were all subsequently convicted and sentenced to lengthy prison terms. ...........
