10 minutes to go for the Y'allQaeda 4 in Oregon "Oregon protesters set to surrender"

The 40-day takeover of a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon appeared to be moving to a climax
Thursday as the last four holdouts agreed to surrender.

The move came only hours after FBI agents arrested Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, the father of
the protesters' jailed leader who flew to the state in a show of support.

One of the occupiers, Sean Anderson, said late Wednesday that the protesters will turn themselves
in at a nearby FBI checkpoint at 8 a.m. PT Thursday.

I have had it w/these idiots because they have been screwing up and over 100 + years of
quality work at the wildlife refuge. Including a fisheries biologist's work on invasive carp*
in the water ways of the refuge. She has been working on that problem since 2009 and all
her work is now in jepordy thanx to those idiots.

idea that some idiots would show up and cut his or his neighbors fence so
their livestock could get out really pisses me off.

It was mighty nice of Cliven to extradite himself, saves a lot of work. The idiots that held out will locked up for quite a while, I hope. Hopefully David Fry receives the psychiatric help he needs, he's a raving lunatic.

These people disgust me beyond words.
I'm hoping the court hands out the stiffest, longest, maximum penalty to these assholes for their crimes.
As they say, "Throw the book at 'em and throw away the damn key".

could handle it. It would become another WACO or Ruby ridge. Instead law enforcement pretty much handled these guys efficiently and effectively. These weren't magic people with an army. They were just really stupid suckers with no cause. They've enjoyed our tax payer grazing lands and wildlife refuge and now they can go enjoy our tax payer funded jails.
