I don't think anyone following the story felt that was over because there is no resolution yet.
letting the cattle go isn't a resolution, the BLM doesn't want them on the land and Bundy does - until that is resolved, whatever has happened to date is just a postponement.
The question is however - does our federal government think the big picture issue of making sure a citizen does not feel emboldened to do something like this in the future is worth using force against the Bundy family or worse, a small arms skirmish with self described militias and 1%'ers over some gd's cows eating brush in the desert.
thats exactly what im afraid is gonna happen....the kooks in charge at the moment are not going to be able to handle the thought of someone very publicly getting their way cause its gonna mean alot of chit possibly coming down in the Arsehole in Chiefs lap that he doesnt want public....
I'll say this - this country will not tolerate another Waco.
It would be the tipping point. Waco happened prior to the advent of social media and readily available internet access as well as more talking news media.
An event like that would incite outrage nationwide -and whether Bundy is a lawbreaker for cattle chewing their cud where they don't belong would be long irrelevant to the situation.
