An important article, imo:
Congress Should Confront the Rise of Violent Extremism on America’s Public Lands
https://www.americanprogress.org/is...f-violent-extremism-on-americas-public-lands/
One of Grant County’s newest deputies is awaiting trial on felony charges.
On March 1, Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer deputized Roy Peterson, who was set to begin trial March 28 in Grant County Circuit Court on theft charges stemming from the acquisition of equipment for a fire district. However, state prosecutors requested a continuance for a family emergency, and the trial is now scheduled to begin Aug. 22.
Citizen Deputies Back Palmer
Palmer has deputized at least 69 Grant County citizens, including the 11 he deputized to develop the resource plan. Deputies are appointed “to do and perform any act which (Palmer) might perform as sheriff,” according their deputy certificates.
Sheriffs can deputize citizens for various reasons, but it’s unusual for them to designate “special deputy” community members at the rate and number as Sheriff Palmer has — or even at all.
I saw this today and stopped by to see what Websleuthers had to say. Those pictures broke my heart. Just before the rage exploded.
As an American citizen and taxpayer, that is MY land and MY bird sanctuary those imbeciles literally shat all over. What about MY rights?
I could go on but I don't want to get banned.
Threats to police and public officials started within hours of the Jan. 26 death of armed militant Robert "LaVoy" Finicum and they haven't stopped, officials said.
"We're going to shoot to kill," one anonymous caller said in a message left for Gov. Kate Brown the morning after Finicum died.

at a very recent appearance at a speech in Orem, Utah by some Finicums.

Oh great - does this mean Websleuthers have to start reporting this idiots? Well, it's a thankless job, but someone has to do it.
Idaho patriot group leader filed bankruptcy after Malheur visit
Brandon Curtiss racked up debt of $235,000 after last declaring bankruptcy in 2009
Much of it was because of credit card bills and other consumer debt
He owes $68,549 to a Portland couple who had them manage their rentals; they have not “seen a dime”

It seems that a couple of more people have some questionable backgrounds:
Malheur Refuge occupier: Everything was clean
KOIN 6 News Staff
Published: March 30, 2016, 12:45 pm Updated: March 30, 2016, 5:43 pm
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) Eyewitnesses from the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation said pictures released by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are staged.
The USFWS released more than 2 dozen photos showing piles of garbage, property damage and what appears to be human waste on the floor. The total damage is estimated around $6 million.
But Guy Finicum, the brother of LaVoy Finicum, and former occupier Sharla Christie said the pictures were embellished and the cost inflated.
They were very serious about taking good care of that property, Christie said at a news conference in Arizona. Every thing was clean. I didnt see any damage whatsoever.
My Notes:
They both work for Re-Creation Retreat in Fredonia, Arizona. Residential Treatment Centers for Troubled Girls
Sharla Christie, Therapist
Sharla Christie is a masters-level therapist with experience working with experiential groups and with trauma survivors. She has experience in individual therapy for adults, adolescents and children, family therapy with troubled youth and their parents.
She a Licensed Associate Counselor, she is not a therapist of any kind. http://azbbhe.us/ProDetail.asp?ProfID=45615
Guy Finicum, Therapist
Guy has over 16 years of experience working with at-risk or troubled teens. He earned his BA in American studies from Utah State University in 1994 and the following summer took his first job in the field of youth services managing a boys ranch, and has continued in the field to the present day. After working for 5 years in various positions, Guy began his pursuit of a Master of Counseling degree in Mental Health Counseling. Upon graduation from The University of Phoenix in 2003 he began his career as a therapist. Currently, Guy is independently licensed in both Arizona and Utah as a Licensed Professional Counselor.
He is a Licensed Professional Counselor, he is not a therapist. http://azbbhe.us/ProDetail.asp?ProfID=42744
So, I am wondering if it was through these residential programs for troubled youth that LaVoy's brother has been associated with, is how LaVoy earned extra income for taking them in? In other words, was there some kind of double dipping or possibly even fraud going on?
In addition, I am not sure how much time Guy spent at the refuge but it sounds like Sharla was there for awhile. So, why are people who deal with troubled youth able to get away with hanging out, maybe participating in an armed takeover of Federal property? We know that LaVoy lost whatever kids he was housing after he appeared as Tarp Man. So, how about these folks? Are the outfits they have worked for Federally or State funded in any way? Does anyone even care?
Side note: I personally think these residential programs for teens are a giant scam, and border on being really warped and abusive. Its the same people over and over again. Its like a cult or something. I didn't realize they are still going on, some were shut down.
