CNN also has it, and a few others.
Information is still not that good, but my urgent question is... what federal penitentiary do we send the urgently needed snacks to?

and no, not willing to make an exception... but point taken.
Ah the deliciousness that these good guys with a gun will no longer be eligible to get more guns.

going to do anything.
Seems the authorities played this pretty smart, lulled them into thinking that was going to go on forever and arrested them on one of their trips out of the refuge.
Pretty arrogant, and dumb of those seditionists to think they were above the law if you ask me.
