I wonder if the "hands-off" approach is actually a strategy? Those Militia goons are hell-bent on going down in a blaze of glory. The the Feds don't have a big presence, these goobers will just get bored, go home and watch
Duck Dynasty or whatever's airing in it's place.
THEN, the Feds can make a personal visit to their homes.
I hate to think that The Feds just ignore this stuff. I know the Govt. is rife with corruption but not everybody in charge is an idiot. Even a right-wing U.S. Government has gone after Klan and NeoNazi groups.
The Feds OWN that land, so I doubt they'd appreciate having it stolen.
The ranchers who sparked off the initial protest have surrendered to authorities and made statements distancing themselves from the Bundy's
Wow! That's cool! Also; You know you're a kook when fellow wingnuts (even the ones who inspired your little 'Militia' shindig) think you're bonkers, admit they were wrong and turn themselves in.
