Their supplies look to be dwindling and militia men who overtook the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Oregon have pleaded with sympathizers to send food, but law enforcement tell TPM that the men are free to resupply on their own.This isn't a protest involving an occupation of a federal building, it's a f%$#ing ski lodge weekend.
"Right now, they are allowed to come and go as they want," says Bill Fugate, a spokesman for the Oregon State police.
The unknown number of militia men involved in the stand off are calling themselves Citizens for Constitutional Freedom. The group sent an alert message to supporters Monday asking for snacks as they are holed up in the refuge center, but authorities confirm that they are free to drive to the grocery store and pick up snacks.
Fugate says that to his knowledge, law enforcement are "not monitoring what they are doing."
I understand the desire not to escalate the situation, but this is obscene.
