With shots fired, I'd say that's quite likely. You try and kill law enforcement officers conducting a lawful probable cause arrest.......daylight isn't something you're likely to worry about for a very long time.
What is wrong with these people....seriously...
Watch the video on previous page and it answers many questions. Simply put.Sick and Tired of being ignored by the government that's grown completely too big for its pants.
Simply put, they imagined that whatever hapless, half assed, pseudo-legal horseshit they could possibly make up was the law. They stole cameras, trucks, burglarized buildings, rifled through government records, native american artifacts, tried to intimdate local law enforcement, shot at cops, and tried to give away government property.
All while ignoring the locals, the local sheriff, the local mayor, the local people, the local judges, the governor, even the local tribes. Telling them all to **** themselves. And at the same tim espousing the empty, lip flapping hypocritical rhetoric of 'local and state control'.
The only control these men believed in was their own. The only law, themselves.
