8. Very bad precedent being reinforced here.

Up to a point, I understand the strategy of silence and presumed observation on the part of federal law enforcement here.

Granted, unarmed liberals, Muslims, or other-than-white people in general would have throughly maced, Tased, hog-tied and charged with terrorism at this point, but that doesn't mean that would be the right thing to do either.

But doing nothing is not okay. No one needs to be shot or bombed or anything, but the fact these yahoos haven't even been formally told to cut the crap and leave seems inexplicable. They already think they can do this kind of thing because they pointed their rifles at BLM at got them to give up before.

This time we need arrests and jail time, and it needs to happen sooner rather than later, before more damage is done.
