re: #380 Decatur Deb

The feds are probably learning an awful lot, and planning in detail. OTOH, they could be fucking up.

I believe the latter has already happen, to a certain extent.

That additional people/family members were allowed to come only can add to the tragedy, if one should occur, of a violent confrontation.

I believe the county sheriff, while noble, was clearly out gunned and out maneuvered right from the start. It’s just too sparse of a county to have a large local law enforcement system, and that is why Bundy and his gang chose it. Most counties in this country would have had the man power to intervene right away.

Again, I can’t conceive of a good reason to have allowed additional people to join this (so far non-fatal) uprising.
