Like Bob said, He's had his day in court and right or wrong, it's been decided.
Hopefully he can work out a deal, but I don't put much stock in that happening.
The main reason I don't see a deal is that the goobermint is afraid it would set a dangerous precedent and every rancher or concern that leases federally controlled property may pull a "Bundy".
As far as the response, it was certainly heavy handed, but when you've ignored the goobermint and Federal court orders for 20 years, don't act all surprised when they show up en masse.
