Will The Government Act If Militia Starts Trying To Detain Local Officials? [View all]
You wonder what is going to happen with this standoff in Oregon. The towns people won't meet with the militia most likely. To say they you are planning on trying local authorities is an escalation of the occupation. The fact that one local Burns official supports these guys and won't resign from their phony committee says volumes. It says that there is an element of support in the town and they want the land back.
Trying to recruit the Grant county sheriff who is allied with Oath Keepers is another ominous development. He won't comply or cooperate but supports them on the land issue.
So what will the federal government do if this situation gets worse. Right now the town of Burns is in effect a hostage to the situation. And it seems clear that the militia will act against any federal authority that even shows up in the area.
In the end how do you avoid armed conflict. What makes the situation even dicier is the GOP and many of it s candidates support this group and will go ballistic is any of them are hurt. They will portray federal officials as the aggressors if they act.
