FBI Sources: Early Errors Doomed Oregon Protestors

Sources in the FBI are indicating that a simple communication misstep was to blame for logistics problems amongst the miltia standoff participants. After preliminary interviews the FBI has found that a text autocorrect left the Bundy lead miltia without prolonged staying power. "Apparently the texts from inside the Malheur Wildlife Refuge requested 'treats', meaning snacks, but the messages autocorrected to 'tarps'", the source said. "LaVoy Finnicum was supposed to bring the food but no one caught the error. We think this is why they made him stay outside for the first nights. Lucky for him he had brought a tarp as instructed but, as we've seen since, his luck ran out from there."
