Showdown at Sugar Pine Mine

imageFrom Tay Wiles for High Country News, the story of another anti-federal management group in Oregon, this one called the Oath Keepers, in the south part of the state. They are stepping into a vacuum left by law enforcement budget cuts. Wiles also reports that the Oath Keepers helped galvanize the network of militia that are protesting near the wildlife preserve south of Burns, Oregon.
