The Oregon Wildlife Refuge Occupiers Left Behind A $4M Mess

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service expects to spend $4 million to repair damage that was caused by armed militia members who occupied a federal wildlife refuge in remote Oregon earlier this year, The Associated Press reported Thursday.

Pictures from the wildlife refuge taken by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and published on the Flickr account for the agency's Pacific region show the extent of the damage to the site caused by the occupiers, as well as the big mess they left behind after spending 41 days at the refuge. The FBI had said that the occupiers had left a "trench of human feces" on or near the refuge, too.

and then I want them to send a formal apology to the Indigenous People, called the Paiute people asking for forgiveness, and then lets see what what happens.

And if they get "book deals' or anything, that money goes to paying off this crime scene, and from any of there supporters, and it goes to the Paiute people First ------------------end of story----------------they desecrated artifacts from this country, the Paiute culture, history, they are terrorists, and they acted like those terrorists did with the antiquities in the Mesopotamian valley, this is a history of a great culture, society...................this inexcusable

as far as I am concern they can sit on a concrete floor in jail with no blankets, no t.v and just bologna sandwiches that they have to pay for and a bottle of water, if they need to take a number two for the bathroom , three sheets of the scotts brand its real thin and cheap , three sheets to wipe at 5 dollars a sheet, and if they want more they get charged for each sheet, 5 bucks for water and twenty bucks for coffee, if they want to speak to anyone charge them 500 dollars an hour-------------------it all goes to the Paiute People every dime. Every time they stole a truck to make a food run, or used a computer charge them a fee, thousands of dollars----------------


They can rot in jail, they are dangerous , they pointed guns at my people.......................they have no business walking amoungst us, they will hurt someone again if given the chance--------------------Colorado Max is calling for them------------------it's underground and has forty-five foot thick walls -------------------they are going to go bat s********t crazy---------------good, maybe the voices in there tin foil hat heads will give them the sign waves beaming in the twit brain cells

If they can't pay it, take them to collections and seize their assets. The IRS has one of the biggest and best collections teams in the world. Besides...most of their seizeable assets are real estate. It's kind of hard to hide acres of land.
