Hundreds gathered to protest and support the armed occupation of a national wildlife preserve. to residents and federal employees. Prosecutors say the group, once numbering a couple dozen, was ready to use violence to hold on to the refuge. The standoff also has created divisions among residents that will take time to heal. Many locals want the occupation to end and are eager to get on with their lives. But others sympathize with Bundy’s complaints, which are part of a long-run- ning dispute over federal management of public lands in the West. Some have rallied in support and opposition to the standoff, the latter often citing the death of an Arizona rancher by police. Robert “LaVoy” Finicum was killed Jan. 26 during a confron- tation with FBI agents and Oregon State Police on a remote road. Federal authorities have released aerial video and said Finicum was going for a gun in his jacket pocket.
