5. They'll need to destroy the refuge in order to save it.

That's simple irony, not criticism.

[L. Coyote]

18. I seriously doubt so. They will be coming out with their hands up.

[randome]

22. After building ditches and saying to the livestream that they're ready to die?

I hope you're right but I think some are in this for the death-wish.

[hollowdweller]

31. That would be my concern.

The place looks like it has some cool old buildings.

I'd be afraid the bad guys would torch them just for spite.

Maybe they can just keep making the blockade tighter and tighter till they can cut off power, take the commissary and starve the rest out.

Or somehow run them out with gas.

[Bluenorthwest]

38. Most of the buildings were built by the Citzen Conservation Corps and are historic themselves

they also house a collection of artifacts and specimens that are also of value. Gas, if you think about it, not the best idea for a wildlife refuge...

[flamingdem]

6. They have "containment robots" on the perimeter

... hmm that will get them paranoid!

[longship]

10. The conspiracies are going to fly!!!

I love it! (I think... )

R&K

[pinboy3niner]

14. Grovelbot--he's oiled, he's recharged, he's ready

[longship]

20. Only send the best! nt

[pokerfan]

30. Omnicorp is pleased to be of service

[longship]

32. Thank goodness it wasn't the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.

[pokerfan]

35. Marvin could talk the militants down

Really down.

Life? Don't talk to me about life.

[nadinbrzezinski]

45. This needs a picture though

[fifthoffive]

19. Hmm

I assume you're kidding and know it was "containment roadblocks."

But if you're posting from inside the compound - it was totally "containment robots!"

[JesterCS]

21. He said roadblocks, lol, close to robots tho, especially if not

Completely articulated

[suffragette]

7. Containment robots in place

Did I hear that correctly?

[JesterCS]

17. Roadblocks. N/t

[suffragette]

27. Thanks. It did sound like robots, but is roadblocks.

http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/01/oregon_standoff_fbi_releases_s.html

Let me be clear: It is fully and unequivocally the behavior and the choices made by the armed occupiers that have led us to where we are today. And, as the FBI and our partners have demonstrated, actions are not without consequences.
Containment road blocks are now in place around the Refuge. The disruption that the good people of Harney County have had to endure over the last few months will continue -- for now.

If the people at the refuge want to leave, they can do so through the checkpoints where they will be identified. If they have questions or concerns, they can call the negotiators at the number that has been provided to them.

[L. Coyote]

8. The Bundy terrorists will appear in court in Portland this afternoon.

[C_U_L8R]

9. the policemen on stage

it looks like they have body armor on beneath their uniforms.
Maybe they're just big guys.
Wouldn't blame 'em with those gun-totin' yahoos around.

on edit: that was a great applause-worth speech by the Sheriff.
he's so correct - 'arming up' is for losers.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

11. Sheriff Ward very emontional. nt

[Bluenorthwest]

39. Today is his 27th day as Sheriff of Harney County.

Tough first month.

[randome]

42. Not doubting you at all but that brings up another question.

Ward said he met with the militants back in November when they were pressing for support. I wonder what capacity Ward had then. Was he the sheriff-elect, maybe?

44. Dave Ward has been Sheriff for more than a year

He was appointed January 2, 2015 to fill the remainder of the term of his predecessor, who retired.

[pinboy3niner]

43. Sheriff Dave had been in office 1 year when the Malheur takeover began

David Ward was appointed the new Harney County Sheriff and took his oath of office on January 2, 2015. He will serve out the remainder of Sheriff Dave Glerup’s term until the next general election in November 2016.

12. Good talk by the sheriff

[phantom power]

13. I dig how it's an actual black helicopter

Now we're just trolling them.

[flamingdem]

41. I hope they painted it black

just to troll them

[peacebird]

15. The Sheriff gave an amazing speech.

[L. Coyote]

25. Kelly House has great tweets, retweets, and posts photos too.

Kelly House ‏@Kelly_M_House 4 minutes ago

Ward, shaking head and growing emotional: It doesn't have to be the bloodshed in our community. #Oregonstandoff "We don't arm up and rebel."

Ward: "It didn't have to happen. We all make choices in life. Sometimes our choices go bad." #Oregonstandoff

Burns Mayor Craig LaFollette spotted @ presser: "Fingers crossed, hoping we have some resolution"

[gademocrat7]

16. Thanks for the update, L.Coyote.

[longship]

23. A summary would be helpful for us download limited DUers.

Thank you very much.

I cannot video stream.

[JesterCS]

24. FBI regional lead investigator, sheriff, and attorney general of Oregon

All spoke about what happened, minus details. That people are still illegally inside the refuge, they can leave peacefully, road blocks all around refuge. The sheriff was emotional, and said this cannot happen in America or the country anymore

[randome]

26. None of the feeds are working for me, either.

Stupid work-related security concerns!!!

Raw Story @RawStory
Berserk militant promises ‘bloodbath’ as feds move in: ‘This is a free-for-all Armageddon’ http://ow.ly/XBqmA

[uppityperson]

33. And when the feds don't move it but just sit at the roadblocks waiting?

And arresting people who try to get in or leave?

[malaise]

28. So that's what the fugger thought was media trucks this morning?

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahhahaha

It's over morons - 'til next time Darwin calls.

[Brother Buzz]

36. Paranoia strikes deep. Into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid.

Now the boys are scoping the terrain looking for phantom robots and little green men.

[malaise]

37. ROFL

Must be hard to live with these people.

[uppityperson]

34. That paranoid man in that last video? How sad and scary. Blockade them in, arrest them as

they come and go. Wait them out and eventually they'll run out of food. I just hope those who want to suicide by cop don't take others with them.
