The last 4 people occupying the Oregon wildlife refuge still won't leave

The four remaining occupiers of the federal wildlife refuge building in Oregon are refusing to leave until they get confirmation they won't be arrested on their way out, The Oregonian reports.

Ammon Bundy, the now-jailed leader of the occupation, has called on his fellow occupiers to stand down following other arrests and one shooting death, but David Fry, Sean Anderson, Sandy Anderson, and Jeff Banta are still at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. On Saturday, they made videos stressing their continued support for the occupation, which began Jan. 2 over a federal land dispute.

"When are Americans going to learn to take a stand and then fight the system that is corrupt, instead of throwing yourselves into that mess and trying to put your fate into what you are fighting against?" Fry apparently said on video.
