Look at the vids...
The BLM goons were surrounded on three sides, with the only egress through a desert wash, deeper into the desert, where they could have easily been run down by four-wheeler and horse.
The only support they had was a single sniper team on a ridge about 300 yards away, that was covered from at least two angles.
Other vids show the Sheriff’s department staging a large group of cops, including several jail busses, several miles away down the highway.
I think someone at BLM WANTED a shootout, to show the sheeple just who the boss was.
Now, who would have gained the most from a massacre, at that point?
This was a scenario that got beyond the BLM’s control, I think.
Actually they had means to retreat and fly out by helo leaving vehicles behind.
“I think someone at BLM WANTED a shootout, to show the sheeple just who the boss was.”
I agree until they figured out they would be the shootee’s. Then everything changed and fast. Turn tail and run is the best expression for what the BLM decided to do when faced with righteous Americans and weapons.
The stazi don’t like a fair fight.
