Most of us also paid no heed to Jugoslavia. I don't know the difference
between self-proclaimed militia and para-military groups, but Cliven
Bundy's antics of the recent past appear highly successful to some of his
observers. This has become way more significant than one discreet place in
our hearts.

I had in mind that they'd be pulled over a few blocks away, or in the
first field outside of town. They are being allowed to intimidate law
enforcement quite successfully it seems. This is setting a precedent, and
sending a strong message nationwide to a very regrettable minority. Look at
all the opportunists flocking to the place. Publicity seems to be
snowballing. It's starting to depress me. I believe some ex-government
employee turned evangelical anti-government speaker is traveling to Burns
to hold camp meeting. While something like 95% of our fellow citizens are
on our side, the energy expended by the lunatics is such that they really
do get some traction. Lars

It is indeed frustrating to know that they were there and allowed to walk
in and out, but bystanders may have been hurt if there was a gunfight,
which there surely would have been.
I’m just hoping that law enforcement has a plan up their sleeves when the
time is ripe.
I would really like to know: what part of “Harney County wants you to
leave” don’t they understand???

How about Guns. They (4 or more guys) were surely armed and you try to
arrest and end up with a gunfight with lots of people around.
And, yes, there were lots of Sheriffs and deputies at the meeting, though
in the only photos I saw of them last night (OPB or Oregonlive websites),
they appeared to be maybe just outside the entrance to the gym rather than
in the gym. (There are photos in the gym, from farther away, so a scan of
them might reveal law enforcement if inside the gym.)

I see that all the principle players of the occupation were at Burns
High School last night. Why weren't they arrested as they drove away?POST:
