The people of Burns staged a peaceful protest. The outsiders then tried to get some of them to go down to the Refuge with them. They got no one. Nobody from Harney County wanted any part of their insanity. They strutted around Burns with their guns, and proved themselves to be assholes. The people of Harney County want the assholes out of there, and the Sheriff and City Council have clearly stated that.
If there is shooting started, then the militia will be fully responsible for anything that happens after that. If anyone is killed, then every one of them should be hung. This is not where they live, it is not their fight. The people of Harney County will support the Hammond's. The militia has already stated that their goals no longer involve the Hammonds. And if the Feds are too slow in taking the cocksuckers out, the locals may decide to do the job themselves.
So, if shooting starts you believe the Feds have every right to obliterate the militia.
Do you also believe the feds should have obliterated rioters in Baltimore and Ferguson?
If the well being of property or life of anyone in this community is threatened, then the FBI needs to take them out.
Personally, I think they should cut all power to the complex and let them rot there. If they venture out and threaten anyone, then take them out. Oh, or if they want power to the building, start charging them rent and see how much they owe in a few months. Hold them responsible for it!
