and unless the militia have taken hostages, those buildings are effectively empty.

Assuming everything you say is accurate, it still does not support a break-down of public order or come remotely close to justifying the use of the armed forces against American citizens on domestic soil regardless of how crazy or repugnant the views of the militia. Such an absurd and violent overreaction would do nothing but support the views of these militias and convince many other Americans of the validity of their cause.

By the OP's standards, anything remotely similar to the OWS or BLM protests requires a military response.
