Oregon hold-outs: "peaceful" protest -- with guns.

[phantom power]

It might be useless to over-think the mindset of people so far down the rabbit hole, but I really do wonder how they convince themselves that you can have a "peaceful" protest where everybody shows up armed to the teeth. Also confused at how they think they have the "right" to just drive everybody off public land, and start ransacking and bulldozing. I guess that's what happens after you've spent enough time in the wingnut echo chamber.

"The whole reason we came over here is to peacefully protest the infractions of the Constitution," said Sean Anderson, who faces an outstanding bench warrant in an unrelated case.

"And now I'm looking at going to prison for exercising my rights."

Giddings said he does not know the Andersons well but believes they are frightened and unwilling to act because they don't trust federal officials.

"I'm just trying to hopefully make it come out agreeable," he said, before acknowledging that would be difficult for both sides.

"What's going to happen next, only God knows."
