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.

But it was the militant who pulled out a gun out on FBI agents and cops, according to several articles. What do you expect cops to do? I hate the FBI as much as the next person but come on they aren't just going to stand by and let cunts point weapons at them.

I expect them to wait them out, like reasonable people who learn from their mistakes. You think they are going to stay there forever? They went in knowing that it would likely end in violence and sure enough it did. Now we have a ready martyr to rally more of them, exactly what right wing groups want. It also pretty much ends any negotiation possible with the remaining people who are stilled holed up out there, reinforces their belief that the government is out to get them and makes further armed conflict more likely. Again, all this already happened in the 90s. So good job there. If I were you guys I wouldn't be celebrating giving these groups exactly what they wanted.
