(39,961 posts)The first thing I would do is jam their communications. There are ways to do this without affecting the rest of the populous in Harney County. They crave attention, so don't give it to them. Stop letting the media interview them.
The second thing I would do is prevent anyone from coming in, and stop the flow of supplies. Now I realize there are very few officers in Harney County because it is a large area that is sparsely populated, but at least an effort to block some supplies might make a difference.
Okay, now here is where I don't know, because I live in the South and have no idea about pipes bursting, etc., so I don't know if it is feasible to shut off the electricity and the water. I'll have to leave that part up to people with experience with that.
Last thing I would do is nobody goes in brazenly on the roads, and nobody goes out unless they are going to surrender. I know that is a challenging order, though. There are lots of FBI personnel though, and I would think they could at least tighten things up a little bit.
