Darrell Kerby has advice for Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and others demanding federal action against the armed occupiers of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge: not so fast. Kerby? He’s a former mayor of Bonners Ferry. And a former member of Idaho’s Boundary County Executive Emergency Board that served during the Ruby Ridge standoff: “I had a front row seat to watch a total and complete tragedy unfold,” he wrote on Facebook. “What did I learn? I learned that time is your ally and use of force is the enemy. I do not know any of the parties involved in this latest standoff, but I do know absolutely nothing is being harmed by leaving the occupiers alone.” Sensible readers should agree with Kerby’s concluding thought: “Let’s hope those in authority are more concerned about life than (saving) face”/DFO, Sunday Huckleberries.

Question: Do you agree/disagree that time is on the side of the federal agents keeping tabs on the Bundys & Co?
