Ammon Bundy, six others arrested

Well it's nice to see that we've learned absolutely nothing from history. If people are concerned about the rise of right wing militant groups in the US, the last thing you should want is for the government to have gone in like Yahoos and shot a man to death. In the 90's, the last time these groups were very active, it was the result of deadly government raids that ended in the death of people. Rather then discourage them, it sets martyrs them and rallies more, stranger and more dangerous people to their ranks.

Tim McVey said that Ruby Ridge and Waco directly inspired his actions. Here we see the same thing repeating again. It wasn't until Oklamhoma city that we saw a massive withdrawal in the popularity and support of these groups. Now do we have to wait for another Oklahoma city? This just creates more wackos, not less and was the wrong thing to do. These guys were getting booed at public forums, people were against them, and they could easily have just been waited out, they weren't anywhere important, just a remote park in a remote part of Oregon. Instead the government goes in guns blazing and restarts a problem that we shouldn't have. You guys celebrating is short sited.
