The remaining militia at the Malheur National Wilfdlife Refuge have refused to leave and are armed and calling for the murder of law enforcement blocking access to the site.
The last livestream from Malheur (below) was interrupted at approximately 12:20pm ET. In it, an unidentified armed man repeatedly called for help from other militia groups while claiming that militia are actually on the way. He called on others to kill law enforcement officers for refusing to honor their “oath.”
The livestream showed a small group of heavily armed people somewhere on the Malheur property while a front loader dug up and moved earth, appparently in an attempt to build a wall or create a moat.
Meanwhile, one occupier literally screamed into the video recorder, condemning all law enforcement and calling on “Patriots” to kill them.
