I wouldn’t agree to armed resistance in response even if I disagreed with the courts in this case.

Now I'm not sure exactly which side's armed resistance you are talking about. How Bundy and his supporters choose to act is their decision. Whether or not I would do the same is irrelevant - he is not relative of mine, so he is not my responsibility.

The Feds choose to act is my concern. As a citizen, I am supposed to be their boss. I do have a responsibility with respect to how they do their jobs.

Last I heard trespass was not a capital offense, and neither is debt. The authorities threatened lethal force on men, women, and children regardless of whether the were armed. That's an unwise choice; a punishment far in excess of the crime had they carried it out.

What would you do if you were a Japanese American on the West coast during WW2? What if you were a fugitive slave in 1850?
Enjoy life on you knees my friend.
