'Stop Bundy Land Grab!’ Protesters decry #BundyMilitia occupation - #OregonStandoff
[center]
Jan 20, 2016[/center]
A small protest was staged just outside the city of Burns on Tuesday, opposing the armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge by Ammon Bundy-led militiamen. The growing number of militiamen joining the site’s occupation provoked the rally, with the anti-Bundy activists claiming the armed group’s motive is to "grab land and put it back into the private sector."
