I think it would be a very bad time for the authorities to start shooting any citizens. It could very well open a can of worms that they did not anticipate or prepare for. I think there exists right now in many Americans, a severe mistrust and hatred of our current corrupt and tyrannical government, and those numbers are large, they are disgusted and angry and are wondering if it is indeed time to start shooting.

Also, law enforcement has been working overtime the last decade to make many average citizens disgusted by their heavy handedness, and feel no support for law enforcement any longer.

Now would be a very bad time to start pushing people around.

Fox News showed the two bulls killed by BLM on Bundys Ranch.
The pen of the bull was shown to be sturdy and it made the bull secure, no danger to anyone. The other one shot elsewhere. Fox had whole segment on Bundy stand off on ‘Happening Now’.

They showed no auction company would touch cows, and Utah Gov refused to allow them into their state to man willing to take them for almost a million dollars, probably blackmailed.

Fox showed where Bundy’s water towers were toppled and other construction or fences destroyed by BLM....lots of damage.

So Harry Reid is right, this is NOT over...and I hope Bundy can get a high power attorney to take this pro bono and sue BLM for damages, and get that whole court order from a judge owned by BLM overturned, and the grazing rights fees dismissed as owed to BML, maybe try to get reverted to state.

That would be justice, and maybe NV voters will be smart enough to kick out Cattle Rustler Reid.

After the midterm elections he'll have more flexibility.

That is the way I feel, so I am sure you are right. The number is in the millions.

Genocide is always the next step after the gun confiscation. Better to die on your feet than in a camp.

You are correct.

I think it's going to be much more subtle than that.

Were I a fascist, I'd back down, but withing a year every one of those folks helping Bundy would find themselves in a world of hurt via the IRS, local franchise tax boards and the like. Easier to let them think they've won and then pick them off one at a time, into the night and fog.

The enemy is not dumb; they overreach at times, but they're not dumb.
