The Militia Cut Down A Fence To Let A Ranching Family Cut Loose Their Cattle On The Sanctuary.

This action makes it clear they are opening up the sanctuary to ranchers. I wonder what other fences they are going to take down. Plus it sounds like they are demanding that the jailed ranchers be released also. It looks like this occupation is more of a complete takeover. Maybe they will set up a permanent site and develop it.

Confiscate the cattle...and if you have to send National Guard troops along to prevent interference with the round-up, so be it.

Here's my suggestion. A group of predominantly black bird watchers must set up a camp nearby, armed only with binoculars, cameras and note pads. They should go about their bird watching business, staying away from the crazies. Guaranteed there will be hundreds of law enforcement officers on site within 12 hours and the news media will follow. I realize this is a risk for the bird watchers and I apologize. We just have to hope the cops won't shoot them without asking questions first.

They supposedly aren't enforcing anything there out of "concerns for safety."

So yeah, I have zero confidence that they won't do the same thing here.

is not to go in guns a-blazing.

I can guarantee you that the feds have already sent in recon to see if these morons have set traps, mines or other booby traps.

Then this will happen:

it will happen at roughly 3-3:30 in the am, by a small squad with orders to use lethal action if necessary.

these halfwit militia won't have time to react.

wait until the next new moon, which is on feb 8th. that will be the optimum time for it.
