2. Great, hopefully the RWing domestic terrorists hold up in Oregon will do the same thing.

We can hope.

3. 'Steven and Dwight Hammond, the Oregon ranchers whose sentencing on arson charges spurred

a militant group’s takeover of a federal building, turned themselves in to authorities on Monday evening, CNN reported.

The duo’s attorney, W. Alan Schroeder, had stated to Harvey County Sheriff David Ward that the group, led by anti-government rancher Ammon Bundy, was not acting on their behalf, despite its allegations to the contrary.

Bundy, who has argued that his group’s seizure of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is part of its call to undo federal ownership of public land, was also criticized earlier in the day by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which said in a statement that it “can in no way be justified on a scriptural basis.”'

4. You should edit your subject or delete this.

The terrorists still occupy the federal compound.

5. Only the two ranchers not the rest of the crew holding that facility

6. The HAMMONDS "turned themselves in to authorities on Monday evening, CNN reported."

NOT the armed-to-the-teeth Bundy-led Terrorist interlopers!!

Would you please correct your misleading header?

7. There's two things going on, as others have noted.

The ranchers in question, upon whose case the Bundy gang is grandstanding, always said they intended to surrender, and they expressly made it clear that they were not requesting this sort of militia "assistance".

No doubt, they have good legal advice telling them to do so.

The homegrown revolutionaries occupying the bird sanctuary are different people.
