I don't have a problem with the folks in Oregon protesting on behalf of their friend. I do have a problem with their doing so absent a permit. I also have a problem with their taking over a federal wildlife refuge, the act of doing which would not be granted on any protest permit.
Now I see that the FBI is "taking a low profile" as goes the matter. Really? Why? What is lawful about breaking into a federal facility, heck, any facility to which one does not have authorized access at the time? The FBI needs to haul their asses in there, round up those SOBs, charge them with whatever applies, and hold them until they make bail or their trial date arrives.
Which amounts to a more casual version of this:
If the folks involved appeared to be and were in fact what the folks below appear to be, the FBI would be all over them like stink on a skunk.
Bottom line:

- The right to protest and Know Your Rights: Free Speech, Protests & Demonstrations
- Oregon law regarding the exercise of the right to protest

Bottom line:
- If those Oregonians are lawfully protesting, fine. Let them do whatever their permit allows for however long it allows it.
- If those Oregonians are not lawfully protesting, get them the hell out of there and incarcerate/charge them with the appropriate crime.
