Following up on last night’s report from the Guardian that officials were planning to cut off power to the domestic terrorists who’ve taken over the headquarters of Oregon’s Malheur Wildlife Refuge, Sheriff David Ward of Harney County said today that power has not been cut off at this point.

But Sheriff Ward also said the armed “constitutional patriots” are definitely going to face charges, and he urged community members not to support these idiots. A community meeting is planned for this afternoon.

“I think if one person gives them a Snickers bar, they’re going on national media and claiming that the community supports them,” he said.

“If you’re giving them support, you’re just prolonging the situation.”

The Sheriff also stated that for months, Ammon Bundy’s group of delusional sovereign citizens have been stalking members of the Bureau of Land Management and US Fish and Wildlife Service and their families, and photographing their homes — a very ominous piece of information indeed.
