    Notice the cigarette butts all over the ground...as far as I know, that's illegal in a wildlife refuge as well

    Listen to the video, they're saying it's not a wildlife refuge but a military base.

    exaggerate much? It's a fine and possibly a jail sentence...my point is, they are not at all concerned about the welfare of the ground they occupy

    It's what they got. Death penalty.

    The ground is way more important than human life or is it?

    You called this an example of privilege? It's quite the opposite. If these were black men, there would be outrage over the murder of any one of them.

    Rightly so.

    BURNS -- As night faded into the 29th day of armed standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, the remaining four holdouts discussed their exit strategy and talked chow in live videos posted to Youtube.

    Four voices are heard in the video, which appears to have been filmed in the dark of night.

    The remaining occupiers are: David Fry, 27, of Blanchester, Ohio; Sandy Anderson, 48, of Idaho; her husband, Sean Anderson, 47; and Jeff Banta, 46, of Elko, Nevada.

    A man can be heard talking on the phone in the background while Fry and another man discuss food.

    "I was eating your Pop-Tarts," the man tells Fry.

    "That's totally fine," Fry responds.

    In the background, the man on the phone talks with someone he later identifies as a spokeswoman for Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore. He tells her he doesn't plan to submit to arrest and indicates the four holdouts need to "get people here" to defend them.

    "She was saying she could do more if I'm alive than dead," he later tells his companions when they ask what the two discussed.

    "Get the governor to pardon us!" one responds.

    No. I don't see why it matters.

    I don't assume they murdered this guy, but it seems to prop up your argument for the outcome..we disagree about that..my point is the folks occupying that place need to be held accountable for their actions...I'm not a gun advocate and that's not my point here. Ranchers have guns, cops have guns. That's reality

    What happened to the other 496 of them? There were 500 originally.

    Cops have an obligation to take life as the very last resort. If these men had gone into town shooting up the place, by all means take them out.

    As it is, they were never a threat to anyone.

    The pop tarts? I'm guessing they ate them.

    Bernie Sanders. Sit in. Ask the people who worked at the university if it mattered to them.

    Levoy was shot for being a threat.
