The Internet is Here to Help You Make Sense of the Oregon Standoff With Humorous Hashtags #YallQaeda and #YeeHawd


This armed occupation of a federal building is led by three of Cliven Bundy's sons. These Oregon ranchers want the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge land to be given to them. A spokesperson for the group has told The Oregonian that they are willing to "kill or be killed" but Twitter users felt the coverage of the event was unsatisfactory. They managed to fill in the gaps using hashtags like #YallQaeda, #YeeHawd and #VanillaISIS.
