Former Oregon Occupier demoralized, "FBI treating him like a flea."

Poor man waited for four hours to meet with the FBI on his proposal to serve as a "negotiator" with the four nugbag holdouts at the refuge. FBI didn't show up. What is this world coming to when the FBI does not even show up to meet with a self appointed negotiator? Damn.

After about four hours waiting at The Narrows for the FBI to show up, Willingham said he was starting to feel demoralized because no agents had come to talk to him. Bearcats and black SUVS drove through the roadblock a few hundred feet from the café but no agents came in as he had hoped.

"They're treating me like a (expletive) flea, man," he said.

the day they went out to climb the pole and take down the "government surveillance cameras." He was ranting with so much pent-up hatred and rage that it appeared he might spontaneously combust. It's amazing to me how these people don't understand that the videos they made were seen and remembered by the rest of us. Why he thinks anyone would look to him as a potential mediator is incomprehensible.
