They have a generator---and fuel.

.

I was not aware of that. Time to shoot holes in the fuel tanks.

Totally agree! I know there are men in combat gear but I couldn't tell if it was really Burns, I'll assume it was simply because there were people in the comments section from Burns that acknowledged it.
There are enough police from everywhere for me to know something ain't right. You know how it is when a cop gets shot, how all the police turn it up a notch? Well that is what the police are acting and looking like, only this time they are doing the shooting.

Fuel will eventually run out. It is an office for a wildlife park, not like there is a whole lot of stuff going on in the middle of winter up there. I mean for some perspective, how long did the hippies take over the Park and Wall Street? How many of them got shot?

The arrows just do not line up, why is this making such a big deal with all of the LEO's showing up? There is nothing there that needs any protecting, the animals do not need humans to take care of them. This just seems to be bigger than what we are being told.

FBI agents have surrounded the remaining four occupiers at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Feb.10, 2016. These lights are seen from the Narrows roadblock.

The remain four occupiers seem ready to give up. Clive Bundy was arrested last night in Portland as he got off a plane---on his way to join the protest.

Just for the record I regard Mr Bundy as an outlaw.

I think the whole lot of them are criminals who should have been arrested at the beginning.

[Dave Grubb]

I agree.

me too

If they were black would we even be hearing about this? Much adieu about very little. Saw an overhead pic of the place they took over, nothing around for miles and the place was deserted. The way the media has played it out, you would think Central Park was under attack.

I believe the takeover was more to attract attention, than to do any real harm.

This time and the first one should have had a lot of arrests. Thought some here figured he didn't owe the fees.

Hopefully this one ends peaceful.

At the final moment after the first three had walked out, Fry said he was feeling suicidal and wouldn't give himself up. He demanded to talk to an FBI negotiator by phone as others repeatedly urged him to calm down and walk out.

"I'm a free man and I will die a free man," Fry said as the frantic conversation played out on a live feed online.

BURNS – The occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, undertaken 41 days ago with guns and threats, ended Thursday with the peaceful surrender of four holdouts after an hourlong negotiation with the last protester.

Those taken into custody by the FBI were David Fry, 27, of the Cincinnati area, Jeff Banta, 46, of Elko, Nevada, Sean Anderson, 47, and his wife, Sandy, 48, of Riggins, Idaho. They each face a federal conspiracy charge for their role in the occupation, joining at least 12 others already arraigned on that charge.

At the final moment after the first three had walked out, Fry said he was feeling suicidal and wouldn't give himself up. He demanded to talk to an FBI negotiator by phone as others repeatedly urged him to calm down and walk out.

"I'm a free man and I will die a free man," Fry said as the frantic conversation played out on a live feed online.

Over an hour, Fry rebuffed supporters again and again, saying he feared going to prison and losing his freedom.

Fry had played a role throughout the occupation providing social media help to the protesters.

"We will pray you out," a woman's voice was heard saying at one point, but then Fry said he was pointing a gun at his head.

"I'm really confused right now," he said as the entreaties continued for him to leave the refuge.

Finally, Fry said he wanted a cigarette and cookie and started walking out.

The FBI confirmed minutes later that he was in custody.

I don't condone his actions but I can't help but feel sorry for anyone that messed up in the head

It is still an armed insurrection and should have been treated as such on day one.
