As an American, and a veteran, the Federal government should NOT use whatever force is necessary. They should stop and realize this is a deep wrong.
Two men sent to prison for a very small grassfire. They went and served their sentence and were released.

A federal prosecutor appealed the sentence and won, getting more time (5 years) for a small grassfire.
They have been out, living their life again, and the government calls and says to go back and do several more years.

This is Un American and no, the government is not justified in going in and doing a Waco.

= = =

You can’t mean arson against helpless women and kids.

That would be terrorism.

IIRC in the Constitution there is a prohibition on double jeopardy and being charged twice for the same offense.

What the feds are doing is the same thing as what king George did back before the revolution.
