So far, after nearly 20 days of protests near Burns, Oregon, there’s been no one hurt or injured, but it seems the state’s chief executive is keen to change that result.
According to reports today, Oregon Governor Kate Brown told a news conference hat federal officials, “must move quickly to end the occupation and hold all of the wrongdoers accountable.”
