Smar move...
According to a Militia friend, what they did in Oregon wasn’t “Sanctioned”, and won’t be supported by the other militia groups like the Nevada Ranch standoff was.
I’m not so sure it is a smart move. As to this showboat effort by the Bundys, yeah. It reeks of stupidity, entrapment, or both and shouldn’t be touched by anyone with any discretion. But the comment Cruz makes is an absolute; it is not limited to this one event. He seems to wave aside the concept of the inherent right of defense of self and defense of others. I would be happy to know that such a message is not what he meant.
