In reply to the discussion: A "History Making Event" in past several hours, broadcast directly from a computer screen ... LOL [View all]Cassidy
(200 posts)24. I hope that you are right and the federal government brings serious charges against them,
but I won't believe it until it actually happens.
As far as i know, no charges have ever been brought against any of these guys when they trained their guns on Federal employees at the Bundy Ranch stand-off. Cliven Bundy is still grazing his cattle on BLM lands and still owes the American people over a million dollars.
Since Bundy and his right-wing terrorists continue to break laws and threaten people without penalties of any sort, it emboldens all these militias to continue breaking laws and marauding where they please.
I can understand the government wanting to de-escalate, but if there continue to be no penalties, we will only see more of these armed anarchists and their terrorist tactics.
