Oregon: Paiute Tribal Indians say "Ammon Bundy, you're not the victim"

News from my Home State of Oregon. It is now Day 37 of the Standoff as 4 Militia remain inside the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (Feb. 7, 2016). Phone & Internet has been cut off as hold-outs use an FBI cell phone. Food supplies are also running out. The memorial for Robert Finicum was torn down by those who are tired of the Militia. Finicum was shot & killed by Oregon State police after resisting arrest. He said, "This is a set up" right before he died. 

2 billboard's have been put up in Burns, Oregon supporting local law enforcement. Ammon Bundy now has changed his "tune" by saying that the FBI & state troopers need to leave Oregon. Him & 16 others have been indicted on federal charges that carries a maximum of 6 years in prison. All of the Militia in the take-over of the Refuge have long histories of crime.

Finicum's funeral was held on Friday Feb. 5, 2016 where 100's gathered. The Militia supporter's wanted vigils to be held in many states, but not many turned out. The Refuge is holding Paiute Tribal artifacts which might have been compromised during the take-over. The local tribe is telling Ammon Bundy that his is not the "victim" in all of this.
