‘Pissed as hell’ rancher blows up at Bundy militants:‘I’m not going let some other people be my face

Harney County resident Georgia Marshall delivered a scathing condemnation of Ammon Bundy’s militants and called on them to end their armed occupation of the nearby Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

At a county meeting on Wednesday night, Harney County Sheriff David Ward expressed frustration that Bundy’s group had refused to leave the federal property even after they had been ordered to do so. Bundy has maintained that he will “go home” when local ranchers begin to assert their rights over federal lands.

Marshall has been described by local residents as “the most soft spoken person in town,” but she was fired up when she took the microphone on Wednesday.

The Harney County resident of 64 years explained that she was a rancher and had devoted years working with officials to modernize the handling of federal lands.

I was almost in tears and I'm a conservation activist. But this lady has it right, it has taken a long time to get consensus on many prickly issues but she understands the democratic process, I just think nobody like the words describing what she is passionately describing, and without uttering them she told everyone that the community needs to stay on course and boot the invaders.

Thanks for posting, I knew someone would eventually.
