Members of an anti-government militia have occupied the headquarters of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in a remote region of eastern Oregon for over a week, protesting what they claim is an overreaching federal government. The occupation is being led by Ammon Bundy and his brother Ryan, two sons of Cliven Bundy, a Nevada rancher best known for an armed standoff with the federal government in 2014 over a cattle grazing dispute. The protest was sparked by the re-sentencing of two Oregon ranchers, Dwight Hammond Jr. and his son Steven, to five years in a federal prison for deliberately starting fires on their property that spread to the bordering Malheur Wildlife Refuge. While the media has referred to the situation as an armed standoff, more specifically, the "Oregon Standoff," the federal authorities have kept their distance, and the local authorities, led by Harney County Sheriff David Ward, are also treading lightly. VICE News traveled to Harney County, Oregon to meet with militia leaders, attend town hall meetings, and speak with local ranchers whom the protesters claim to be representing.

These retards watch too many old westerns on tv and want to be john Wayne cowboys and in the end they all go to jail and some get felony charges lol... get their six shooters taken away.. and don't ride off into a nice sunset... this is real life retard ... pay your bills and quit ripping us off ... we own the land jackass

that Sharp guy is a fed suckass

5 minutes in and you're fucking up and puking out misleading bullshit. Failure to mention the Hammond verdict and sentence is intentionally misleading. VICE used to be sort of objective, now you're fucking worthless. LaVoy Finnicum is dead, no OSP or FBI assholes are being prosecuted for the murder and conspiracy to ambush and murder an american who was not guilty of ANY CRIME. THE VERDICT IN OREGON COURT, NOT GUILTY.

This is idiotic. The reason wildlife refuges exist is to protect species that exist and balance the ecosystem.

Redneck Revolution over...

I sure did enjoy sending little gummy dicks to these shitstains to chew on.

White Privileged Racists got away with Domestic Terrorism. A fucking disgrace.

Now #NoDAPL that's a worthy cause. The whole Dakota Access Pipeline has got the stink of Kent State all over it. Militarized Fascism.

What hapnd to the hillbillies mouth?

Libtards running the narrative. What nonsense. Pro gov takeover Globalist cocksuckers

In Texas, there is a rancher who owns 1000 acres. Right now the government wants to take away 250 acres to make another game reserve. The ranchers house is on that 250 acres and the government wants his house also..

I love when people misquote history and use it as some sort of justification for whatever they want in the name of "patriotism". If the American Indians in ND we armed like this they would be opening coming down on them with artillery...

And What exactly are they doing to ask the government for the land to be free to graze on? Activism means you have to be ACTIVE for your cause. Just occupying a piece of land when the government isn't present or getting involved is pointless guys.

That last rancher had a point. At least it ended peacefully because there weren't any non white people to shoot at.

fuck all the bundys! what a bunch of clowns! fucking free loaders!

Didn't bundy get shot and killed when he left "peacefully" bullshit

We should give those Bundy rednecks the death penalty for disturbing the peace in Oregon! Death to the Bundy family!

its an act people .. we aint leaving get ur choppers ready

lmao. Bundy wants the land returned to the people so they can manage it. One question. Would you create a group to help run this land once returned to "the people"? Maybe you could call it the Bureau of Land Management.

There was no "armed militia"...... there were citizens protesting who were simply also armed, which is their right as citizens.
They did nothing different that liberals don't always do, peaceful protest and illegally occupying. The only difference is liberals aren't generally armed, but sometimes they are such as with the Black Panthers and some Union members.
For example, Liberals did FAR more problematic in their illegal occupation of the Wisconsin Capital Building, yet no storm troopers were sent after them.

Damn terrorists

All year long BLM protestors LGBT protestors Trump protestors Flag burnings Destroying cities Refugee sympathizing Creating in needed chaos in the name of gun control The one sided media and social media . Oh and where's my slice I want everything for free😭

fuck vice liberal scum.
