‘I didn’t come here to shoot, I came here to die’: Oregon militia occupiers fess up to local

54. I suspect there's a perfectly adequate septic tank system there.

But yeah: cut off any possibility of resupply. Cut off access to the electric grid so they have to burn fuel for their generators. Cut off all communication except with the authorities blockading the compound, (although they may very well have a satellite rig...but you can at least make that another drain on generator fuel). They can't last forever.

Still, this would certainly be a hardship assignment for the people carrying out the siege. They'll be out in the bitter cold and wind in makeshift shelter while these dipshits are in warm stone buildings. You'd have to rotate people in and out if it looks to last for months. Moreover, it would be an expensive proposition, and even after you arrest, conflict, and fine the living hell out of them, it would still end up costing taxpayers* a fortune. But if the alternative is bloodshed, I'd rather be patient.

*the very taxpayers these cretins probably think they're fighting for...
