The Latest on an armed group that took over buildings at a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon (all times local):

6:50 p.m.

The Rev. Franklin Graham has spoken with the remaining armed occupiers of a national wildlife refuge in Oregon.

The Oregonian reports ( http://bit.ly/1PTCRw2 ) that a spokesman for Graham confirmed that he communicated by phone with the four occupiers and federal officials.

Todd Shearer told the newspaper that Graham had no comment beyond that statement.

The last four occupiers of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge had asked Graham to help them negotiate their departure. They have said they want assurances they won't be arrested.

2. Let him promise them what they want to hear

but they have to leave their guns behind, then drive them up the road and let the LEOs conduct a traffic stop for them too. Screw those halfwits, lie to them if it will get them out of there. If Graham can get them to leave the guns behind and get them down the road...

I don't care what happens to them at this point. Far as I'm concerned they are a waste of good air that should be put to better use by endangered species.
