"I'm here because the citizens of Harney County have asked me to come out and ask you folks to peacefully leave," Sheriff David Ward said, offering the protesters a "safe escort" out. <br />The offer was declined. <br />Looks like the promise to leave if the residents asked them to was a false promise. <br />Time will tell what else was false and what is true?

This morning authorities are publicly telling an armed group of ranchers in rural Oregon to pack up and get out. It's time for to you leave our community, go home to your families and end this peacefully. There are no police anywhere near here. So far sources indicated that because the area is so incredibly remote authorities are in no hurry to do anything but watch and wait. <br />http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/oregon-militia-standoff-turn-violent-36094737 <br /><br />The group tried legal action before the takeover, they say. <br />http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2016/01/04/78279414/ <br /><br />Twitter had suspended the leader's and other's accounts, but maybe decided if they allow ISIS to Tweet, they should allow these guys? http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/01/05/twitter-account-oregon-organizer-bundy-suspended/78315656/ <br /><br />The reaction to the takeover among residents of Burns, about 30 miles (48 km) north of the refuge, has included sympathy for the jailed ranchers from the area whose plight inspired the action, and criticism of the armed protesters. <br />http://www.reuters.com/article/us-oregon-militia-idUSKBN0UI1DC20160106<br /><br />MEANWHILE, WE SEE NO ANNOUNCEENT FOR AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE MANY COMPLAINTS BY MANY LOCAL RANCHERS BESIDES THE HAMMONDS ABOUT CORRUPTION, HARRASSMENT, AND INFRINGEMENT OF THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS BY AT LEAST TWO FEDERAL AGENCIES OVER A PERIOD OF MORE THAN 40 YEARS.
