I’m sure they do. They would like nothing better than to slaughter these people to teach us all a lesson. I doubt they think they can get away with another Ruby Ridge/Waco. Sometimes arrogance makes people stupid, but they have to be cautious enough to know this isn’t the 90’s. If they had total control of communications like the did back then, they’d already be painting these people as crazy cultists by now.
Good point.
Though I would have to wonder if they don't think they could get away with it. I have zero doubt they can get away with it--who is going to stop them?
