| FBI moves in to end Oregon stand-off |
| 2016-02-11 |
| The FBI on Wednesday evening moved in on the last four occupiers at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, the Oregonian newspaper reported. The four armed, anti-government protesters had been indicted last week with 12 others on charges of conspiring to impede federal officers during an armed standoff at the compound. The takeover at Malheur started on Jan. 2 when their leader, Ammon Bundy, and followers, seized buildings at the refuge in a protest against federal control over millions of acres public land in the West. |

| #8 Why did the FBI move in now after all this time? And at night? Something is fishy. They were out on ATV, came across FBI, ran back at high speed, FBI followed them in. They are turning themselves in today. They are calm now so it should go rather well. |

| #4 Comment seen recently about the death of Robert Finicum... "We now know that at the initial stop Robert Finicum was being told to get out of the vehicle and as he looked out of the window of his vehicle he was shot at. He then told the others in the vehicle that they were out to kill them. So he took off hoping to make it to the Sheriff of the county, but encountered a road block. The road block was on a sharp curve and he went into the snow embankment to avoid hitting the road block and a spike strip. He exited the vehicle with his hands in the air. He was not reaching for a gun in a pocket, he was shot and his hand went down to the wound as a pain reflex and they continued to shoot him. Each and every person involved in the assassination of Robert Finicum, both federal and local WILL BE CHARGED WITH MURDER." |

| #3 They should have converted to muslim. O would have protected his brothers. Immigrants also would have worked. Only seem to have little or no patience with Americans and especially males. OH, black would have helped. Cameras saved their lives. |

| #2 Why did the FBI move in now after all this time? And at night? Something is fishy. I listened to the live stream a bit and the FBI was really being aggressive on the ground and only seemed to back off after they realized it was being broadcast. Stupid and arrogant ground commander or just tyrants on high? Either way the people that stayed should have realized that there were only two ways out of this once you thumb your nose at the powers that be while armed. Death in a shootout or jail. By staying you chose your fate. My personal opinion is, while sympathize with the ranchers and agree the government fucked them over, this was the wrong tactic at the wrong time at the wrong place. |
