The leader of an armed group who took over a national wildlife refuge in southeastern Oregon weeks ago joined hundreds of area residents at a tense community meeting — listening quietly as many loudly chanted at him to "go."
Ammon Bundy, who has been trying to drum up support for his cause, didn't speak at Tuesday night's meeting in Burns where residents discussed the armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge which began earlier this month.

Harney County Judge Steve Grasty took the microphone over to where Bundy sat in the bleachers and told Bundy he'd drive him wherever he wanted to go, as far as Utah. He also offered to meet with him anytime.
Bundy and his small posse left after the meeting without incident.

I can't recall anything like this before. No matter your spin on the situation this is entirely different than any other. Some have suggested just wait for them to come out and arrest them but here they walk into a community building and no one arrests them and instead the judge and sheriff are on their knees begging. The residents are chanting for them to go but the group returns to the compound fully in charge.

Basically Bundy makes all the calls in Burns, Oregon now. The residents and law enforcement can just hope they will go home someday. Perhaps the county should offer them money to leave the compound.

They are all going to die. If they were allowed to go to the meeting, then return without being arrested, they are going to die. When the media starts calling the government buildings a "compound", they are going to die.

David Koresh made several trips into Waco to pick up gun parts. He could have been arrested any of those times. Instead, he was allowed to return to the "compound".

They almost all died. Over 80 killed, 6 survivors.

It is a small town. People in small towns just want to be left alone and don't appreciate the attention. They want peace and quiet. This assclown shows up and makes a ruckus and they see through his crap and just don't appreciate what he is doing to the community that they live in. If he has any smarts at all he better forget about what the feds could do and start worrying about what the locals might do if they catch any of them alone in a secluded place.
 
If they were brown they would've been killed already.

Just a thought...you wonder if maybe the reason they dont arrest them individually when they come out is because if they do, all the media will go away? What do you think this has netted the town financially...round figures?

Thats a serious question BTW.

it is costing the county plenty each day. So whatever gains are being lost.

what a racist statement. :peace

If they were BROWN, you would have been smarter than to pull this silliness in the first place.

You stay alive be staying LOW.
 
I love that the GOV is talking about the fecklessness of Team Obama, and stating that she is going to send Washington a bill for all of the costs run up by the state as a result of Washington not doing their job. You know things are bad when a D Gov is willing to do this to a D president.

And they are.

and a very factual one, I can guess.

The press gotta eat and sleep someplace. I can guess almost all of them are on some kind of PER DIEM basis.

I fail to see how a diner owner or a motel owner are somehow loosing b/c the county is loosing, unless they are taxed 100% by the county, it is a big win for the locals.

It is a extremely low budget county. The county does not generate enough income to compensate what they are putting out. It would take them years to recover. That affects everyone.

In the COMMENTS section, not too many believe this is really true.

Even if it were, it is costing the STATE and COUNTY that, NOT the diner owners and the Motel owners.

Let's not forget the BAR owners either. Those press people drink like fishes.

NONE of them are feeling any pain.
