True.
But it is telling that this was done in Reid's face (so to speak). Throwing down the gauntlet.
I think the Bundy "incident" illustrates that the Feds are deliberately getting more heavy handed because they sense an increasingly restive segment of the populace. How large the segment and how restive is open to interpretation. But the point is that the feds believe it is serious and their response is to [illegally] come down like a ton of bricks. IMO, with the goal of making an example of Bundy to intimidate other potential dissidents.
There is some escalation occurring on both sides, we will have to wait & see just how much and where it goes.
