This thing with Cliven Bundy is not going to end well.

126. See, the whole 'frozen accounts' thing or auctions and whatnot? Seems perfectly fine.

I was -strictly- talking about some things I had seen posted (and not all necessarily here) wherein some people -wanted- an actual confrontation between government 'forces' (using the term as a catch-all, hence the quotes) and the militia crazies. That's all I was talking about and referring to. I know there are a ton of people who want to see that kind of thing on the RW side (I've met more than enough of them in my lifetime to know that they're out there and in larger numbers than we'd like to think; thankfully, they don't seem to trust each other a lot) and want it to be done in a 'galvanizing' way. If anything could make them get over their inherent distrust of each other, it'd be a chance to stage a Fort Sumter (as they see it). My only purpose, and the entire thrust of my comment, was meant to dissuade people from thinking that such an event is something we'd like to see.

And you note the sheriff also, and the point that he's 'recognized' for whatever reason. I think he could be instrumental in some kind of final, peaceful resolution. I don't in -any- way think Bundy should just wander off scot-free; I just don't see a need to rush a resolution with all the crazies hanging around. I think time, tension, and boredom will get the better of them, and then we can finish this up without them there trying to start Civil War: The Redux.
