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.
