So hilarious!! Here is a sample....
The refuge is wonderful and the flora is representative of the region but there appears to be an influx of invasive wildlife.
The species is slow witted and easy to avoid but none the less caution is advised. Even when a bark is worse than a bite remember... there's still a bite. In the event one of these lower primates sees you and approaches there are ways to escape the interaction unscathed.
The easiest way is the dumb down your language and start spouting far right political nonsense. Phrases like "gold standard" and "sovereign citizen" should be used amid random one syllable connectors. But use caution. A broad vocabulary or use of "snotty, big-city words" could indicate higher education or as they say "too much time with the teachin lady". They don't seem to like this.
If exposed in this way you can throw a tin of chewing tobacco to lure them away or just point and yell "Obama!". Either should buy you enough time to flee. If they see a library card prepare to defend yourself. Their attack is reflexive and to the death.
One upside of their unwanted presence is park hours. Malheur is now open 24/7... for white people wearing camo

The daily rhythm of life here has been interrupted, said resident after resident on Wednesday night. But Harney County Sheriff David Ward raised a more troubling issue. He said one of his wife’s tires had been “flattened,” and said someone followed his parents home.
“You don't come here and intimidate people. That's not how we live our lives in Harney County,” Ward said. “Our wives have a right not to be tailed home. Our pastors have a right to not be shouted at on the street.
"You don't get to threaten me because I disagree with you."
He delivered the last line to raucous applause, then asked for a show of hands: How many people want the occupiers to go home, he asked. At least three-quarters of the room raised their hands.
...............
Didn't Bundy state.. he would go home if the town didn't want them occupying the wildlife refuge ?
In that article they spoke of 75% of the 500+ people in the tent raising their hands in support of the Sheriff.
Well, by my math that leaves about 100+ people in that tent who don't want these odd campers to leave.
My guess is the problems in this town run much deeper than the impromptu winter birdwatchers. The Sheriff might have found an easy shiny object to point at but those 100+ people are not going to leave with the Bundy clan.
Winter campers who forget to bring enough supplies, 'occupy' federal buildings with no plan, and clearly are pretty clueless are probably not masterminding flat tires of local officials.

I watched a video of the meeting and there was no where near 500 people in that buidling, 200-300 maybe.
The sheriff publicly stated that he agreed with 90% of what Bundy was spewing. Sounds to me like that town deserves Bundy.

Well, if you want, you can count them. Remember when you do that Burns has a population of 2,700 and the whole county (9th largest in the USA) is 7,442 in the last census. It was a good crowd.
The sheriffs speech is here in this link. I think you may be he hearring what you want. He didn't say he agreed with any of the Bundy folks on much at all, much less 90%. What he said was they should go home and let the local citizens handle their own disputes peacefully and through elected officials. He also spoke out about intimidation going on in the county since the Bundys arrived, and that his wife has left the county until things blow over.

I just went into my local pub after a Christmas road trip and told them I wasn't leaving until my demands for as much beer as I wanted were met.
They said there would be no problem. Maybe this occupation protest thing really works.

Well that's settled. Per Lorenzos picture, the reporters unanimously want them to stay whereas the townspeople want them to leave. Reporters be getting overtime.
Union scale?
Hazardous pay?
Bonus's for the extra ads the news companies can sell?

Lorenzo put up a post with a lot of relevant links a page or two back. It will take some time, but it is worth a careful read if you are at all interested in this.
My feelings on it are pretty clear. There isn't a problem in Harney County. The Bundy's aren't wanted there.
I also saw that Ryan Payne, the Bunkerville self appointed spokesman is there with the Bundys. Talk about a piece of work.
I read something online where one of the militia folks thought that he was a plant from the feds trying to start violence, and that is what he is doing now. None of this makes much sense, but it shows you how paranoid these people are. They thought they were going to get hit by a drone strike down in Nevada. Yep. Drone strike right on the Interstate.
These folks are seriously twisted. Read just how paranoid they are...of each other:

Ok, here is a perfect example of everything that is FU'd with the Internet.
first off, this guy's nom de Guerre is Youingling. Yeah, and I'm general Pliny the Elder.
That it is The same as the oldest brewery in America should raise some hackles.

The paranoia loons love the false flag concept. Easy explanation that fits their world view.

Is it Yingling or Youingling? and did anyone email him yet?
It's also tied with Sam Adams as the largest American owned brewery

I'm sure that those steely-eyed patriots are only occupying the place to make certain that the Feds give it all back to the Paiutes (sp?) they stole it from in the first place.

I stopped watching the congressman when he started on federal policy.
The original title to almost all BLM land lies with the federal government (us). The federal government (we) administer that land in ways that hopefully provide benefit to us all. The fact that some ranchers hold grazing rights to our land doesn't mean they call the shots.
I keep reading where they want the public land "returned", "reclaimed" and "taken back" to the states. Since the states never had title to these lands, how can they be returned?
It's rough out there farming marginal land. The BLM screws things up sometimes, no doubt. But if they find federal land regulations to onerous, then stop using federal land.
Or better yet, buy it. That's why all that land was surveyed into townships and sections to begin with.
That's my Wall of Text and I'm sticking to it.
