quote:

HARNEY COUNTY, Ore. — KATU News has learned the leader of the armed occupation at Malheur Wildlife Refuge - Ammon Bundy - has been arrested, along with at least eight other individuals Tuesday evening.

Officials said it all began with a traffic stop while Bundy and some of his followers were en route to a community meeting in John Day, about 70 miles away.

Shots were fired after FBI agents, Oregon State troopers and other law enforcement agencies made the stop. CNN reports its unclear who fired first.

Details of the arrest remain unknown, but charges are pending related to the group's 25-day takeover of the wildlife refuge.

Bundy and about three dozen of other individuals occupied the wildlife refuge earlier this month after two local ranchers were sent to prison for setting fires on federal land.

Trying to go back and watch stuff and there's no sound. The beginning has pete looking at the emergency room and getting stonewalled by real BIG MEN WITH GUNS and being (interpreting due to no sound) told in no uncertain terms to gently caress off from the front door.

Yeah, I really hope the tower doesn't become an object lesson, but the whole sniper in a elevated tower doesn't really work out to well. Unless you're like, shooting up a university.

I'm wondering how a raid is going to go with the terrain on the land. It's really open and the militia occupied a fire watch tower with snipers. I'm guessing a conflict will begin with either the watch tower shooting at approaching cops unless the police shoot first.

I'm gonna go ahead and say a redneck with a rifle worth two months of his disability check is not really the same thing as a Federal Agents as marksmen. Or even a state-level SWAT is going to have some fairly skilled sharpshooters with actual knowledge of tactics, positioning, counter-sniping and such.

Oh, I don't think they're going to be making 800 yard headshots on an approaching SWAT team. But I can see them plinking (or more like mag dumping) at approaching cars until they get shot out of the tower.

About bloody time this embarrassment ended. Gee, I guess enforcing laws work. Oh look roadblocks!

I assume any assault or blockade plans would take that tower into account. Roll up in armoured cars, have someone set up an over watch with MG or snipers on the tower as others approach, if they loses his poo poo, grease him, then offer to extract them for medical treatment. There is no cover up there. Demand they descend immediately under threat of force. If they come down, that's great, if they stay up continue overwatch. It's value for "intel" is worthless if the situation is hopeless with feds just rumbling up with a big show of obvious force.

And then you're missing a fire tower in scrub land. Leaving the refuge vulnerable to fire because of how you dealt with people protesting a sentence in an arson conviction would be a poetic gaffe.

You can build a fire tower with a pile of lumber, some ropes and pulleys, and bolts
