Recently published video "Behind Enemy Lines at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge"
Two young guys, Oregon State University grads, describing their visit to the refuge before the arrests. They report some scary things including threats to do harm Burn townspeople.
Video has some rather interesting information in it that may help explain why the FBI waited so long to do anything.
This is from a channel called "Comfort for Oregon" and was posted a couple days ago. The description for the video is:

In the video, two young Oregon men are describing a trip they took to Malheur and what they saw and heard while inside the Refuge during the standoff. In one segment, from 17:00 to 26:30 they discuss having talked to some of the occupiers about why the FBI hadn't turned the power off. They say that they were told that the occupiers had a number of people who were embedded among the residents of the community, and that if the FBI took any action, these guys outside the refuge were going to inflict "collateral damage" - attacking the residents in retaliation. If it's true, I think perhaps it helps make the FBI's caution in handling the situation more understandable. Even if they knew who the embedded guy were, they likely didn't have any evidence they could arrest or hold them on at that point. I thought some of you might find it interesting although the video runs is a bit over an hour. If you have the patience to listen long enough, their short video segment with Shawna Cox starts up at 52:20. I find this reporting both insightful to a serious criminal ongoing event and sad to admit its entertaining at the same time.
