| The anti-gubmint Bundys were booted off the federal land. |
The feds broke up the armed siege of a wildlife preserve in Oregon. The Bundy clan took refuge in early January and told the junk food media they won't leave.
The town where these White extremists held refuge were really terrified. These terrorists threatened to attack the feds if they try to drive them away from the compound.
It seems like one of the White extremists lost his life to the feds. The feds opened fire on one of the men when they were arresting ringleader Ammon Bundy. LaVoy Finicum, 54 was killed by the feds.
The FBI said authorities arrested Ammon Bundy, 40, his brother Ryan Bundy, 43, Brian Cavalier, 44, Shawna Cox, 59, and Ryan Payne, 32, during a traffic stop Tuesday afternoon on U.S. Highway 395. Authorities said another person, Joseph Donald O'Shaughnessy, 45, was arrested in Burns.
Bundy's group, which has included people from as far away as Arizona and Michigan, seized the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge on Jan. 2 as part of a long-running dispute over public lands in the West.
Bundy is the son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a high-profile 2014 standoff with the government over grazing rights.
There are conflicting accounts of the highway shooting. Nevada lawmaker Michele Fiore says Ammon Bundy called his wife and told her that Finicum was cooperating with authorities when he was shot, but sources tell the Oregonian that he resisted arrest and ignored an order to surrender.
This may spark the anti-gubmint movement. The White extremists may use this as a recruitment tool for their cause.
One occupier still at the refuge tells the New York Times that the plan now is to wait for sunlight "and see what's up." Jason Patrick says the mood is "prepared but calm," but he believes the FBI is "hellbent on war." "They said 'peaceful resolution,' but now there is a dead cowboy," he says.
