The hope is that they are unarmed. If they are unarmed, there is no significant difference between them and any of the liberal goofballs like greenpeace or whoever.

in fact, if the feds attack them with weapons and they turn out to be unarmed, they become instant martyrs and a movement would gain momentum. this is not to say that i wish anyone harm, but it is just an uninformed but seemingly somewhat plausible extrapolation of the current situation. maybe these guys know what they are doing and calling the fed’s bluff. the fed can’t afford to wipe them out.

from the fed’s perspective the best thing would be to wait them out. let them run out of food and water, then they would have to com out of their own accord. perhaps their hope is to draw attention to the “cause” (as they perceive it, at least).

Hard to do when the article mentions that people are still bringing them provisions.

Drawing blood by the Feds over what is basically Trespassing would be stooped. But the Feds are agenda driven not smart driven.

Fighting naked tyranny unarmed is pretty stupid don’t you think? We have 2A for a reason.
