Kansan Who Went With Kids to Oregon Standoff Arrested
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. May 3, 2016, 7:21 PM ET
A Kansas woman who took her children to perform for occupiers during the armed takeover of an Oregon wildlife refuge earlier this year says authorities have removed seven of her children from her home and arrested her for assaulting an officer.
Odalis Sharp, 46, of Auburn was booked into the Shawnee County jail Friday evening for battery of an officer and interfering with a law enforcement officer, jail officials told The Kansas City Star ( http://bit.ly/1pYwRGa ). No charges had been filed as of Tuesday morning. The Shawnee County prosecutor's office could not be reached for comment.
Sharp was released Saturday on $3,000 bond.
Sharp traveled with seven of her 10 children, who have a family gospel band, from Kansas to Oregon to sing for and support the 41-day occupation by armed militants of at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. One daughter, 18-year-old Victoria Sharp, was riding with Nevada rancher LaVoy Finicum and three of the other militants when Finicum ran a roadblock and was shot and killed by Oregon state police.
Sharp said the arrest occurred after she went to court earlier Friday trying to file paperwork accusing her landlord of breach of contract. Her landlord had earlier sought to have her removed from the home. She said when she returned home, law enforcement and employees with the Kansas Department of Children and Families were waiting.

I suspect that both are about delusional thinking. Once one has them in church, one has their minds.
How can we rid this country from these sick SOB's?
Sorry, you ignoranimous. Evolution is real. Global warming is real. SCIENCE IS FUCKING REAL!
R&K for a good post.

Eventually they start believing god is always on their side, so everyone against them must be with the devil.
She already had one child taken away due to abuse and neglect, but that wasn't her fault either. This time it looks like one or more of her own kids turned her in. It's probably a shame she didn't have all her kids taken away the first time. I'm sure they would have been much better off by now.
