Heh.

In all seriousness, something like this could blow up big time if it’s not handled properly. There’s far too many RWNJ’s spoiling for a fight - and more than a few are quite open about wishing to spark a second American Civil War. Granted, they’re a tiny minority, but look at the damage a tiny minority can do…..and by that, I mean Islamic State. They’re small in number (relatively speaking, in comparison to the global Muslim population) but the serious harm and chaos they’ve inflicted far beyond their physical base of operation is significant.

I suspect the feds are aware of the powderkeg that could blow up if they bungle their response. As it is, these would-be revolutionaries have picked a really remote HQ for a potential standoff. Any reinforcements have only one access road, and approach overland is unlikely, given the terrain. In other words, these yokels have made it easy for the feds to seal them up and wait for them to give up.
