This "militiaman" is aiming at law enforcement at Bundy ranch. Let that sink in. Then imagine...

37. The money they would have gotten for his fines...

...is now less than the money they would spend attempting to collect those fines: personnel, safety, media-damage-control, lawsuits from entitled-feeling "bereaved..."

But to Joe Average, it just looks like another example of ineffective, tyrannical government gettin' schooled by "patriots."

The oligarchs need to be separated from their money, the source of their power and control. Without it they are nothing. But doing so is impossible without breaking the laws they write themselves.

More and more, our laws, which are largely enforced by the police, are in place to protect them, not us. When the opportunity arises to look good by busting up a home invasion on the cheap, it will be done. Without the police, you are at the mercy of every sociopath that wants your stuff... but with the police, we will never get out from under the Gucci loafers of the 400-or-so people who own this country.

So... what do we do? Violence doesn't solve problems, it just puts them off until later. How do we separate these ego-driven, self-serving addicts from their drug of choice: power and the money to buy that power?
