I admire their guts but not much else. The fact that they brought their kids with them shows either a lack of understanding of what their doing or lack of caring about if their kids get killed. I agree about the US government getting more authoritarian but they picked a crappy issue to make a stand on.

As Salon makes the point of where the hell were these guys during all the other abuses of power. Where were they when medical marijuana patients were handcuffed to hospital beds? What about the "kids for cash" scandal when kids were being literally sold to privatized prisons by judges? Why don't they go threaten the local cops where I live that are infamous for doing things like shooting an old lady? Or the Swat team in the country north of mine that shot the 15 year old that no one cares about? I find it strange that the media criticizes Anonymous who don't threaten anyone just change the codes of websites and invade privacy lives who actually fight for the rights of people who can't fight themselves like that girl in Steubenville.

We have a Bundy thread Re-word title to make it Militia related or slip this in on the Bundy thread
