All of the occupiers have finally left the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, but they warned that they left behind some booby traps for authorities to dismantle, according to a Friday Reuters report.

"They spoke to us about booby traps. We don't know how sophisticated or what kind," a law enforcement official told Reuters.

Federal workers at the refuge before the standoff had materials on hand to create controlled fires, which would have left the occupiers with the materials to create explosives, the official told Reuters. So law enforcement will have to be careful when moving through the refuge.

"There were materials that could be used to create hazardous devices, so it's just very prudent for us to do to that," the official said.

And the Oregon occupation is different from terrorism how?

[randys1]

1. Not different at all, but they are white people so..... ... ...

[malaise]

7. THey'd have been invading homes and removing computers for any other

race/ethnicity or you know religion as in Islam

[Egnever]

15. With these clowns it isn't necessary

all their cohorts have been calling in. They have plenty of records to work with.

[Boudica the Lyoness]

25. I'm sick and tired of you bringing race into everything.

Knock it off.

[randys1]

26. Are you KIDDING ME

please dear god tell me this is SARCASM

if it isnt SARCASM

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

this CANT be a liberal message board!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ware you FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING kidding me???????????????????????????????

[Boudica the Lyoness]

29. No, it isn't fucking sarcasm!

There are actually people who are living as human beings first and not by the color of their skin.

I can't image what a fucked up person my son would have grown up to be if I raised him to believe the world was out to get him. Luckily for him, I raised him to know he could be anything he wanted to be. I also raised him to be hard working, law abiding and respectful. I raised a man. I raised a human being who has been judged by his character and not by the color of his skin. He's in his 40's and has lived a successful life - not a life where he sees every slight is racism and thinks the world is out to get him. There are arseholes in this world no matter the color of your skin.

I believe this race baiting you are doing started about four years ago and I believe it's to get he black vote once Obama's term is up.

Knock it off.

[SHRED]

2. I guess they really want to drive home their felonies?

Not too bright.

[Trajan]

3. Add a couple more charges on the docket, Sarah ...

BTW, Sarah is not real .. I made her up ... She's my only friend, so be nice! ...

[boomer55]

4. but they said they were "just camping on public property"

hope these asswipes never leave their next federal facility.

[randome]

5. It seems odd that anyone would say, "By the way, we left booby traps" without saying anything else.

I wonder if this snippet of a story is based on something more ambiguous. Not that I'd put it past these losers to have done something like that.

6. But it was just peaceful civil disobedience!

[2pooped2pop]

8. They pointed to the water bottles, empty I think, when they said that

At least after the one guy had been killed.

[Runningdawg]

9. I say they are talking smack

These idiots would have blown up/ impaled/hung themselves in the process of planting traps.

[calguy]

24. Their idea of a booby trap.....

Is probably a bra.

[ladjf]

10. They had better hope that no one gets hurt or killed by

one of their devices. Their jail sentence would be considerably longer.

[Brickbat]

11. Ah, I see they've been talking to their lawyers.

[Eleanors38]

12. So they shit a pile on the carpet like other common thieves? nt

[Maedhros]

13. Nothing says "peaceful protest" like booby traps. [n/t]

[KamaAina]

14. Wouldn't the traps have sprung on them?

[randome]

16. "No! Not that twinkie, Sean! That's the one that-" {BOOM!}

17. If only one Booby Trap is found even inactive,

see ya sucker in the next Century. All charges will be updated under the Patriot Act.

18. If it quacks like a terrorist, it must be a terrorist.

[struggle4progress]

19. "We wanna have a peaceful protest, so yall bring yer gunz and booby trap stuff!"

[etherealtruth]

21. The right wing nut-job version of "peacceful"

jackasses

[Vinca]

20. Do they realize after a felony conviction they can't sleep with their guns anymore?

[MH1]

27. Well, as gun loverz love to point out, the law won't stop them from doing it.

The law just means if they get caught they get to spend more time in jail. (This part, the gun loverz don't like to point out.)

[NightWatcher]

22. They've hidden used dildos throughout the property???

[randome]

32. They buried them like squirrels bury nuts for the winter.

23. More charges against them then...nt

[B Calm]

28. Send the terrorists to GTMO!

[kimbutgar]

30. Well if they did and someone gets hurt

It will only add to the charges against them. Unless they get Koch money to defend themselves with competent lawyers they will be spending some quality time in jail. Couldn't happen to a better bunch.

FBI: No Rigged Explosives Found at Site of Oregon Standoff

By REBECCA BOONE AND STEVEN DUBOIS, ASSOCIATED PRESS
BURNS, Ore. — Feb 12, 2016, 7:09 PM ET

FBI officials said Friday they haven't found any rigged explosives or booby traps at the national wildlife refuge in Oregon that had been seized by an armed group.

Authorities allowed a group of reporters to get closer to the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, where the last four occupiers surrendered Thursday. The tour stopped short of the refuge itself.

The armed protesters had blockaded the road near the refuge using a government-owned heavy front-end loader and two pickup trucks. A group of tents and pickup trucks was clustered on a small rise far beyond the road barrier. Larry Karl, the assistant special agent in charge of the Portland FBI, said the tents made up the "shantytown" where the last four holdouts at the refuge spent most of their time.

Greg Bretzing, the special agent in charge of the Portland FBI, said investigators have begun their sweep of the property. Karl said that process is still ongoing, however, but they hoped to finish the safety sweep of the buildings and begin processing evidence sometime Friday afternoon.
