I didnt come here to shoot, I came here to die: Oregon militia occupiers fess up to local reporters
Writing for OPB, Amanda Peacher stated that early estimates of 150 occupiers are wildly inflated, saying, only a few dozen men are occupying the federal building.
According to Peacher, federal employees were advised to stay clear of the refuge, in a memo that read: Our top concern is employee safety. All employees are accounted for, and the Refuge will be closed until further notice. Employees of all land management agencies in the area will operate from alternate worksites, telework, or administrative leave.
Outside of the refuge, she interviewed one militia member identifying himself only as Capt. Moroni who told her, I didnt come here to shoot, I came here to die
