HELENA, Mont. – The last named defendant in the armed occupation of an Oregon wildlife refuge was still at large Tuesday, drawing calls for supporters to flock to his Montana hometown and a local sheriff to urge outsiders to stay of it.

Supporters of the 41-day standoff this winter over U.S. land restrictions used social media to rally behind Jake Ryan, urging the sheriff to resist federal efforts to apprehend him and for people to head to the small northwestern town of Plains to pray with Ryan's family.

Sanders County Sheriff Tom Rummel, trying to head off any new armed conflicts, warned standoff supporters to stay away during negotiations for Ryan's arrest.

Ryan faces charges of depredation of government property, conspiracy to impede officers and possession of weapons in a federal facility.

1. Holy fuck really???

Since when do we negotiate a terrorist for their arrest? A couple shades darker & he'd be getting droned.

PS: Fuck Fox News, it's a garbage source.

4. I won't click on the link & the way it's written pisses me off.

If ANY minority group even attempted to take control of anything nonetheless armed & threatening officers in the manner that these assholes have over the last couple of years they wouldn't have even gotten the chance to organize. Yet again we have one of these idiots refusing to be arrested & his family is trying to get people to pray with them. Yeah I'm sure they will come armed just to pray. Why law enforcement is even telling anybody about the arrest is beyond me. If there was ever a time for a no knock raid it would be here.

2. Oh, FFS. If they want everything local, then start by not messing with local law enforcement.

Idiots.

6. Why do you need guns to pray?

There will be guns.
