A supporter of the Josephine County Oath Keepers, which later disbanded and became the Liberty Watch of Josephine County, wears a shirt with the brand used by LaVoy Finicum, who was killed during the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation, before a Memorial Day parade in Grants Pass, Oregon, U.S. May 28, 2016. In April 2015 Reuters photographer Jim Urquhart was assigned to cover the Oath Keepers during a tour of the Sugar Pine gold mine in Oregon after the group of former cops, military, firefighters and other first responders had risen to prominence during a standoff in Nevada over land rights. “Some call them militia.
