As the FBI surrounded the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, some of the occupiers promised a “bloodbath” in a live stream video.
The live feed from the DefendYourBase YouTube channel, which has been broadcasting on and off from the occupation, showed several militants operating a bulldozer.
One of the militia members was dressed in military-style gear and carrying a rifle.
The media has been ordered to leave, and that means they are coming to kill us.
