HARNEY COUNTY, Ore. — Checkpoints set up by the FBI and Oregon State Police on Highway 205 near the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge have been removed.

For several hours Thursday afternoon, KATU reporters on the scene spotted dozens of military-style vehicles and SUVs entering and exiting the refuge.

Officials had said four people remained at the refuge after three others surrendered peacefully Wednesday night.

as reported by one of the foul mouthed knitters who lives in the area. My guess is that the main topic of conversation is the best route to slink out of there at 4 AM, cross country to avoid the roadblocks. I just hope they get nailed peacefully.

The country will be far safer when all these so called militia men are off the street.
