The FBIs answer is that you are supposed to submit. Anything else is a crime.
Its also a very common theme on FR. Submit or be killed.
The interesting thing to me is the use of the word “attack” in the article.
Attack does not describe a legitimate law enforcement action. The article doesn’t claim that he was going to attack federal agents, it claims he voiced an intent to respond if attacked.
That should cause free people to demand explanations from the feds.
