Quote:What ever happened to law and order?   Are we supposed to let these people occupy federal buildings with impunity?   When are we supposed to do something about it?  

 

On the other side of the argument.  Are we supposed to let federal government take land from citizens without impunity? The answer I guess is yes... unless you want to die or get arrested.  I can understand this stand off more through that lense. These protesters are only doing to the federal government what the federal government has already done to them; taking over property that belongs to them.  But they're the "domestic terrorists" in this.  This is also exactly what the Feds want.  They want to demonize these people who believe in liberty and gain more public support for further government regulation, reduction of individual rights, which increases overall government power.  This entire protest was a bad idea and falls right into the hands of the government elites.

 

I dont think this is going to end well.  The Feds are probably going to remove the remaining protesters with brute force. However, it appears this guy who got shot was unarmed.  Did they not have any tasers in the van?  Until the video is (or isn't) released I dont really know what happened.  It's possible it was warranted, it's also likely that he was executed.
