Oregon Militia Sent Sex Toys After Asking Supporters For Supplies Online
Ammon Bundy, center, one of the sons of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, walks off after speaking with reporters during a news conference at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge headquarters Monday, Jan. 4, 2016, near Burns, Ore.
The militant ranchers now occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Burns, Oregon, have survived glitter bombs, vegan jerky, black eyes, stinging betrayals, and erotic fanfiction, but even these hardened rebels are getting exhausted of living off snacks.
The announcement is significant given that, if they follow through with the plan, the 7pm Friday event will mark the first time the occupiers enter Burns and formally communicate with local residents, who have increasingly called on the militia to end the siege and leave Oregon. The safety committee, which had previously asked the armed men to leave town, has now offered to take on the cause of the occupiers after they depart.
Although the location for the meeting is yet to be determined, Finicum says anyone is welcome to attend.
The event is being hosted by the group Republicans of Spokane County, which is not affiliated with the Spokane County Republican Party.
The leader of an armed group occupying a national wildlife refuge said Thursday a meeting with local residents will happen but it’s not clear when and where because the group is struggling to find a place for the gathering.
Militant leader Ammon Bundy has repeatedly denied that militants were using government computers.
According to the Oregonian, Bruce Doucette said members of the group have given him “significant” evidence of crimes committed by government officials.
Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward has asked the group to leave, and called them outsiders who “hijacked” the peaceful protest over the convicted ranchers, father and son Dwight and Steven Hammond, in order to advance their own agenda.
Two Washington state representatives were among a delegation of western legislators that traveled to eastern OR, where protesters have taken over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in an armed occupation. The Hammonds’ case set off the occupation of the Burns-area refuge on January 2.
The militia claims that they’re just out there trying to do what’s right and patriotic for America (while also claiming land that isn’t theirs and trying to enforce their will by might).
