HARNEY COUNTY, Ore. — One of the remaining four occupiers of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge posted a YouTube video Sunday, despite communication at the refuge being cut off.

David Fry frequently posted updates to the YouTube channel "DefendYourBase," which the group has used to release information. He posted another video Sunday, a full week since his last one.

He tells the camera "they have cut off all our communication ... how I was able to get some back without them knowing, they're probably very <expletive>."

Fry has said the four want assurances they won't be arrested and demand pardons for everyone involved ...

that dung bag when he's dead.

That little punk has no idea what this country stands for if it stands for anything worth defending. His mind is warped by bigotry. He's beyond hope.

By the way he threatens to kill anyone who is pro-choice if you read between the lines.

They ought to let him starve, however long it takes. He will then eventually walk out if the others don't eat him.

An American jester, except there are so many warped little meaningless nobodies like him out there for whom fantasy serves as their drug.

If I were his parents I'd come frogmarch the little pissant out of there myself and ground him with no allowance or Internet or Xbox for a year.

Wonder if he's ever had a real job besides working for his dad. I'm sure he will enjoy the prison laundry gig. Not a thing about him qualifies him to speak for We The F&cking People.

... “He’s had his problems, some of which he’s brought on himself,” his paternal grandfather, William Fry, told OPB. “He gets pulled over for busted taillights, and instead of just rolling down his window and handing over his insurance, he screams at the officer, ‘What the <expletive> do you want?’ And right there, a regular thing turns into him in handcuffs” ...
