The standoff at the bird sanctuary ended this morning with no violence according to a report in the New York Times. After a tense telephone negotiation, which was live streamed online the four agreed to surrender. Shortly after 9:30 this morning when both the Reverend Graham and NV Representative Michele Fiori were at the checkpoint, 3 of the 4 protesters complied with instructions and walked up to the checkpoint where they were arrested. The 4th, 27 year old David Fry refused to surrender, and threatened suicide if they tried to come in for him. After more negotiations, he walked out of the compound to the checkpoint moments ago.
This comes after the lead clown in the circus, deadbeat rancher Cliven Bundy was arrested yesterday at about 10:30 p.m. on his arrival at the Portland airport. Maybe they can have a family reunion.
