Inside the occupied compound, life has settled into a sort of giddy war-room-style routine, one that mixes the mundane — laundry, snowball fights, nap time for the children — with bellicose talk of facing down federal agents and heading off what some people holed up in the compound say is a government plan to force all Americans to move to cities by 2040.

Also, too: what the WTF, NYT: "The protesters, most of them from outside Oregon, have blocked off the entrance road with a conscripted government vehicle…" Wouldn't a more appropriate adjective for that vehicle be "stolen"?

The judge, Steven E. Grasty, announced at the community meeting that the county lost $60,000 to $70,000 a day in the first week of the occupation — the cost of security measures and wages for teachers who never taught — and said he planned to send the bill to the protesters.

That's what they are afraid of–someone might actually hold them accountable for their actions!
