Joel, Thanks for sharing Tim Blount's Malheur update post to the BOO list.
Tim,
Thank you for taking the time to provide the update. We all look forward to the
time when some degree of normalcy returns and access to headquarters is made
available again. We can only hope that the Portland and Nevada trials result in
enough collective jail time to serve as a deterrent to similar actions in the
future. Unfortunately, I think all of us look at the mentality of the folks
involved in these stand-offs and recognize that we are not dealing with a group
of folks who are prone to making logical or pragmatic decisions. Obviously the
safety of staff and visitors to the refuge have to be reasonably assured before
the HQ is opened up to the public.
