The first. The second is uncomfortably close to poisoning.

So what I'm getting is that this is a deeply disturbed subculture full of people who're inherently incompatible with a modern socially liberal society. They're not going anywhere and nothing anyone can do or say can change their minds, seems to me it'd be better to just rip the bandaid off and deal with the problem now instead of just letting it fester and hope it'll go away on it's own.
This is basically what I've arrived at with these assholes.

More like burnt popcorn, or human hair if you could find some way to trick them into tossing something like that into a fire.Something that will reek so bad that it will turn the site into a living hell. Or, maybe fill a dildo with some sort of compressed capsaicin gas capsule?

Don't do either of these. Especially don't do the second idea. You can still get in trouble for poisoning someone even if they are doing something illegal themselves.

And yes, sending someone a bottle of ipecac with a note intending to trick them into drinking it will get you in trouble. Don't gently caress around with that.

Laugh at the poop, look at the poop, smell the poop, talk about the poop, but DON'T TOUCH THE loving POOP.

Put a police siren/lights on a drone and fly it in circles around the refuge a mile out. They'll either be dead of stroke or out of ammo in 10 min. flat.

What happened with the elder Bundy? Is the government going to collect on that million dollars he owes? He's basically undefended right now (unless he still has that entourage), it would be a great time for a surgical strike arresting the head of the beast, which could maybe rile up the Oregon buffoons into doing something dumb. Or I guess they could add the bill from this standoff to his tab.

Hey I'm all for somebody getting arrested at this point. It would give some indication that the feds are actually paying attention.

Besides, the whole internet is touching the poop. They're mailing foods that cause poop to flow, and mailing dildos to impede its progress.

Touch the poop and smear it everywhere. If there was ever an appropriate time for poop - touching it would be this poo poo show. Honestly, the fact that so many dildos were sent makes me feel a little less alone in the world. Other people are mad enough at these dirt bags to send them dildos. It's great.

If I got arrested for flying a drone over a seditious armed occupation, while the occupants of said occupation remain free, I'd be kinda salty.

Just make sure your drone is registered.

And when the FBI comes over and tells your to knock it off, do what they say.

So do we have any hard evidence that shows that the reason the FBI hasn't made a move is because they are worried about public perception and/or getting their funding cut, or are we just guessing that to be the reason?

I don't like the fact that the FBI is sitting on their hands, but I understand it. Sometimes the best thing to do when you have no good moves is to bide your time and wait. The FBI has no good moves here, at all. The unstable nature of the people leading this sedition means that it is still possible for it to collapse under its own insanity, but that is a chance that I think is shrinking every day this goes on.

So while I concede that it might be better to take an aggressive approach at this point, I still think that biding time while the militia discredit themselves in the public mind is very probably the best course for now. Any attempt to forcefully remove these seditionists will get a shitload of people killed at this point. (Some of the children are likely to be among the casualties, can you imagine the propaganda coup that would be for the GOP primary circus?) I don't think we are at the point where that risk can yet be justified.

Cutting power/internet immediately would have been a great move. It would have contained the crazy. Yes, there are surrounding ranches, but that's why you get them generators and let them know you'll help with anything they need and that you'll even put them up in hotels or whatever on uncle sam's dime.

You blockade the major roads to it, hopefully with the cooperation of the county sheriffs so their names are on the vehicles. Yes it creates a picture, but it also makes people know very quick that this is serious. Some might get emboldened but it makes it less convenient and harder for people to join as opposed to a militia day camp.

From that point on you start changing what options are available.

I've been reading a LOT about cults of late for research for a fictional book and the prevailing theme is that reality doesn't matter so catering to them is pretty much a losing scenario anyways, all you can really do in the immediate is try and control physical relationships (which is why cult leaders desperately create strict rules on who people talk to, when their curfew is, etc). Remember, people here keep talking about Waco provoking the OKC bombings but forget that Waco didn't end with the feds killing everyone but with good ol' Vernon deciding he'd take the ship down with the captain and lighting a fire. But the reality of the situation was warped by the militias because that's what they do. Obviously try to limit lives lost, but starting with the assumption that there is a way where no lives are lost is foolish, especially when you do nothing to limit their access to connecting to the other crazies.
