I think the thing to remember is that the US govt has no intention of letting public lands go back to states. They want total control so they can get the ranchers and the miners off the land. Their goal is to depopulate the west. Its all Agenda 21. That’s what its about and the US govt cannot let a grassfire rebellion get started.
The FBI was going to kill somebody to make an example and put the boot on the throat of anybody who protests or dissents. They are trying to intimidate and throttle any further protests. My belief is that the FBI is just sorry they couldn’t kill the Bundy’s while they were at it. This stuff will continue to happen over and over.
