The feds said in public statements that they pulled back because they didn't want bloodshed. They are telling only half the truth.
# 1 - The majority of law enforcement do their job for a paycheck.
# 2 - The vast majority of law enforcement agents only goal is to go home at the end of the night.
To that end, they don't want to die. The bloodshed they wanted to prevent wasn't on the part of the protestors, it was among their own agents.
When they are confronted with a situation involving armed opposition like Bundy ranch they show their true colors.
If violence had broken out at the ranch, the feds would have won the battle. They would have killed many protestors and they would have removed the cattle from the ranch.
However, the feds would have taken heavy casualties themselves.
In fact, judging by the pictures, video and eyewitness testimony from the scene, it appears there was very good firepower present amongst the protestors.
I would say the feds would have taken 15-35% casualties if everyone truly wanted to get down and rumble.
What does this mean ?
It means in America today we all too often just bow down and let LEO run over us BUT we have strength in numbers and we have a very well armed public. We need to use this to our advantage and force the government to choose their battles wisely.
We need the police agents to sit in their bed at night and ask "what am I willing to die for".
My opinion is 95% of LEO in this country do not want to die over some cattle and tortoises.
I predict this event is a sign of things to come in America. I predict you will see more events like this were citizens, armed with their constitutionally protected .338 Lapuas and M-4's will show up and say "okay LEO, you will defeat us today, but you will take casualties and many of you wont go home tonight".
Its been a while since I truly felt proud to be an America but watching the events unfold at the Ruby ranch convinced me that courage isn't dead in America and the government abuse can be defeated when we as the majority stick together and stand up.
