The Latest: 4 Holdouts in Oregon Standoff Facing Charges

PORTLAND, Ore. — Feb 4, 2016, 12:29 PM ET

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

9:30 a.m.

Newly released documents show the four remaining occupiers at an Oregon wildlife refuge are facing charges.

An indictment unsealed Thursday names a total of 16 defendants, including standoff leader Ammon Bundy and other occupiers who were arrested last week.

A federal grand jury charged all with felony conspiracy, accused of using intimidation to prevent federal officers from doing their work at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

The armed holdouts have said they wouldn't leave until receiving assurances they wouldn't be charged.

The indictment says two conspirators traveled to the area in October to warn the local sheriff of "extreme civil unrest" if certain demands weren't met.

1. "Extreme civil unrest?" Don't bet the rent on that one, buddy

For that you need broad based support and that doesn't mean your tight little circle of friends online and down at the local bar.

2. I hear the prison commissary has plenty of snacks available

Alas, no dildos though.

3. So if some armed "patriots" occupied the NY stock exchange

in the middle of the night, would that be considered "extreme civil unrest"?

Umm, I don't think so. They would be arrested or dead in time for "The Opening Bell" to be rung on the floor of the exchange.

4. "The armed holdouts have said they wouldn't leave until receiving assurances they wouldn't be

charged"

I love it when people who have no leverage in a situation issue ultimatums.

6. "I;m gonna keep on robbing this bank until you let me off scott free"

Ya know, teenagers are pretty good at coming up with parent stumping retorts.
I sure hope they don't take any lessons from these IQ deprived idjits.
