Right now the feds are so 'Ruby Ridge/Waco' paranoid, they won't do anything!

They will dump it on local law enforcement to deal with, and the locals don't have the manpower or assets to do much of anything...and the state also will do nothing, in the hopes that the feds will!

If the occupiers begin to "arrest" and "try" local officials or even BLM employees, the feds will sit down to negotiate...but under no circumstance is their any scenario in which the feds will confront the Bundy group!

Either the feds have a plan to end this, or they will do exactly what they did with the Bundy stand off in Nevada, I'm thinking it'll be the latter and not the former!!!
