Seems like the stage is set for Super Sheriff Pete to step up to the plate. How convenient for him. :tinfoil:

This has pretty much been my thought from the beginning. You can't stop the devotees, but you can potentially scare the poo poo out of the moderates.

I genuinely hope no one is seriously injured.

If they don't collapse and capitulate, probably whoever's the craziest and has the ability to get the most radical people on his side.

The thing is, Bundy was crazy but not totally willing to actually be a terrorist. He wanted his big conflict to turn the citizens against the government, but I don't think he actually wanted to go out and do violence in the town to incite the fight. Someone like Jon Ritzenheimer may be volatile enough to round up the troops and get ready to kill.

I'm wondering how a raid is going to go with the terrain on the land. It's really open and the militia occupied a fire watch tower with snipers. I'm guessing a conflict will begin with either the watch tower shooting at approaching cops unless the police shoot first.

Yeah with "snipers" aka the same chuckle fuckes who bout a $1400 rifle and probably still can't shoot it right and have no actual training beyond shooting 300 yards at their local NRA rage's "long range" lane.

I wouldn't worry about snipers when you have actually trained marksmen on the SWAT teams.

it depends who's doing it and what equipment they have. hopefully there hasn't been any shortcuts taken in getting this group equipped and ready to go with the support they need.

My concern is that any attempt at a bloodless siege is pretty drat unlikely. Unless the FBI preemptively deploys snipers and pulls a Ruby Ridge on them, the guys in the tower are liable to:

A) See the cops before anyone else in the refuge

B) Begin shooting on sight.

If we're gonna have a bloody raid, then by God I hope it's an entertaining one.

Correct, Prolly already a counter sniper team in place looking at the tower, its not like its a concealed place or anything.

I assume part of the warning was getting police snipers trained on that tower and saying, "and if we see you make a move to raise your rifle we shoot"

The thing about being in a fire tower is that while you do have a great view of the surrounding land, you're also a hugely obvious target whose escape route is extremely unsecure
