I'm aware of that, and it comes as no surprise that there are sociopaths in the militia movement, nor that one went away from the Bundy standoff disappointed that they didn't get to kill any authority figures. But you made a broader statement - that these (SovCit) types will effectively kill on sight any federal agent. That characterisation is at odds with what we've experienced so far, so I'm going to say that you've overstretched with it.

Okay let me say this differently, it's not that they will point weapons at the LEOs that arrive and shoot them instantly. It's more that they will train their weapons on any fed who tries to setup a roadblock knowing full well that said fed will engage them out of fear of his/her own life, which will cause a lot of people to die on both sides. I'm backpedaling a bit on this point, but I should have expanded upon this further. They won't just run up and blast feds, but they will actively seek to bait them into a firefight if they are in the area, Just like they did when they stood infront of the FBI building.

I really don't get how the logical conclusion behind "actually they're not just dorks, they're murderous madmen who will kill on sight" is "better let them do whatever they want and invite more fellow crazy people to roam the town while armed".

If they're murderous crazies with guns and children I don't like the idea of waiting and seeing for two weeks+

If they're not murderous crazies, and law enforcement took the time to diagnose them as doofus concern trolls who want to play dress up and talk big? Send the Burns county police and these FBI agents on nationwide tours to explain to all local cops how to do threat assessment and stop shooting people as a first choice.

Completely agree that their purpose is to face off against the feds. I don't personally think that they intend to start a firefight, but there are a lot of individuals with different goals there, so that only speaks of the overarching intent.

2016 is going to be a banner year for any attention seeking white men with access to a rifle, MRE's and directions to the nearest federal wildlife sanctuary.

Want all the publicity of a spree shooter but dont want to kill anyone or be considered a bad guy?

Want to finally make use of all your TITANIUM TACTICAL gear?

Ever wanted to set up your own local government?

Well then come on down to your local nature preserve! We've got free room and board, plenty of space and scenic views rarin' and ready to be driven on by ATV's or wrecked in a patriotic tantrum! Cool towers to play sniper man in! One shot, one kill!

Like I said before I doubt that everyone there would die in a custard style last stand, however the leadership's active goal is to die by fire and spark a civil war. Many will flee when the feds start sending out tear gas volleys and loud speakers of rabbits being slaughtered start blaring because they know what's coming next. However there will still be a devout following that will fight to the last man and kill as many "Commie Faggots" as possible

Several of the guys there have outright stated as much. Ammon tends more towards the "Oh no please don't throw me in the briar patch and start CW2 mr govt" style but claims emphatically they will not be arrested.

I prefer to think of that as grandstanding over his families proven history of breaking the law and not being punished.

This seems to me to be them saying "when the evil feds attack us, we'll have the women and children out front". But Mack's not at this occupation anyway, is he? I mean, that quote was from the Bundy ranch thing in 2014 and he stepped back from it almost immediately anyway.

I suppose that you could say that they planned to go out in a blaze of glory, but only because the lunatics think that the federal government is going to assassinate them. It's not really an actionable plan if it's predicated on something that's not going to happen.

This whole sheriff thing is terrifying, incidentally, although it's hardly surprising that "the county sheriff is actually like a sort of king" is attractive.
