They took over a federal facility and then somehow believed the gubbamint was going to allow them free travel to gallivant around outside the compound. NOT!
The Hammonds surrendered to prison, the Bundys and several other leaders of the group now in jail and or dead/wounded...now what? What is their purpose? What is their goal?
They too will end up in jail when they decide to leave. The Feds aren't going to say, “ok boyz, go on home now, it's over”. They'll be snatched up.
They proved to be lousy tacticians that for sure.
Better that than loudmouth POS lousy patriots with no balls and an inkling to armchair quarterback the plays...
