Armed militants at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge continue to damage both the delicate ecosystem of the refuge and archeological sites of critical importance to the Burns Paiute Tribe. Amanda Peacher from Oregon Public Broadcasting shared photos of what appeared to be a new road in the refuge and got confirmation that not only is the road new, it goes through a vitally important area:

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service confirmed Thursday that not only is the road built last week by the occupiers new, but it is also within an archaeological site important to the Burns Paiute Tribe.

1. They really need to blockade those vandals

and prevent supplies from reaching them.

2. So, this is different from ISIS destroying heritage sites how?

Ethnocentricity, it's what's for breakfast.

3. This is different

because it is happening right here in the US, and Federal authorities could put a stop to it if they weren't handling these yokels with kid gloves. In Syria, not so much.

7. So they really are Vanilla ISIS

4. tangentially, what the fuck do they want these roads for?

What are they using these roads to do?

5. The more roads they have, the harder to block them

and they need to keep their supply routes open.

Twinkies and beer, the fuel of revolution!

6. They probably misinterpreted real estate easement law. Something about hostile trespassing.

8. Very bad precedent being reinforced here.

Up to a point, I understand the strategy of silence and presumed observation on the part of federal law enforcement here.

Granted, unarmed liberals, Muslims, or other-than-white people in general would have throughly maced, Tased, hog-tied and charged with terrorism at this point, but that doesn't mean that would be the right thing to do either.

But doing nothing is not okay. No one needs to be shot or bombed or anything, but the fact these yahoos haven't even been formally told to cut the crap and leave seems inexplicable. They already think they can do this kind of thing because they pointed their rifles at BLM at got them to give up before.

This time we need arrests and jail time, and it needs to happen sooner rather than later, before more damage is done.

9. My sentiments exactly

10. Federal government allows militants to bulldoze.... nt
