I think George Washington would probably be more tactical than that. They are occupying a building in the middle of nowhere and not a direct threat to anyone who doesn't disturb them. Yes they have occupied a federal building, but it's a wildlife reserve, strategically I doubt it's of much importance.
I personally think that's the bottom line. The main reason they the government isn't reacting with direct isn't because these people are white or because they're not Muslim, but because they have calculated that it isn't necessary yet.
I just hope for the best result depending on what the truth is about the circumstances are now, which I don't know yet.
If these Bundy people are destroying wildlife to a very significant degree and the government is just trying to be reasonable with them then I hope the Bundy ranchers are dealt with and if they are stubbornly resisting reasonable laws then eventually it might result in them being shot. From what I've read this might be likely.
If the government is taxing, fining and putting unreasonable pressure on the ranchers then obviously I'd be happy if the ranchers got away with all this and the government backs down and gives them a little more freedom.
I don't see why people get emotional and overlook little nuances in arguments and say seemingly illogical things in arguments like this.
Like you used your time travel device, mind reading device and determined you know what George Washington would do in this exact situation, you then used your religion and race changing device and turned the ranchers into black Muslims so you know for a fact that if black Muslims occupied a building in the middle of no where they would have been shot to death by now.
