Now, our government agencies need to take some action. Even if it is as simple as setting up a perimeter and saying "No" when they want to get out or when the press wants to get in.

People keep saying "well, what is more arriving Militias shoot at the people at the barricades?". Yeah, that's a crime.

Letting these clowns win this battle will give them confidence that they can indeed take whatever they please. What's next? Whatever they decide they want.
