(14,559 posts)The Bundys and that 'militia' is a group of heavily armed crazies in a nation FILLED with heavily armed crazies. If the president were anyone but Obama, I'd say roll in the tanks and hang 'em high. But alas, Obama has committed the high crime, in these peoples' eyes of being president while being black, so the heavily armed right wing crazies who have been propagandized with ejaculate from the Fox 'news' corporate propaganda organ and hate-talk radio for years and years might see an escalated police reaction as a call to revolution and come crawling out from under their crazy rocks all over the United States.
I think the police should just keep the area cordoned off don't let anyone out or in, and turn off the power. Seriously. They'll come out after a few weeks, especially after the 24 hour corporate owned media news cycle forgets them.
Otherwise will have Duck Dynasty looking 'militias' that are little more than hate groups, like the Stahlhelm was in its day, marching in jackboots and brown shirts through our streets.
And I shit you not. This is a really serious situation - not this one little thing, but what I've described above. Because it is REAL, and thse assholes will cheerfully beat you to death just for disagreeing with them. If these shits get in power the government will begin to build camps...
Let's not go there.
