to ensure you get more violence.

Jails exist for a reason, this is it.

People on DU actually freaked out calling it an execution without a trial - never mind that the guy was in armed opposition and was an active member of an enemy military organization we are fighting.

On the other hand, we have a bunch of morons holding guns who have broken into a closed building. I think we can get them out without killing them.

Cut off power and water. No more toilet flushing.
If they have generators take them out with sharpshooters.

men who threatened the government - these groups have members spread out all over the US. While I do not think they should get by with it like bundy did I also think that the suggestions made in another post made a lot of sense.

They have isolated themselves. Lay siege and cut them off from everything and wait for them to come out. That is when they need to be arrested.

A five year term for setting a fire to cover-up their deer poaching. But you can bet they were on the Federal radar screen after their little stand-off.

The Hammonds are the Oregon ranchers that got re-sentenced over the arson and that sparked what was suppose to be a peaceful protest. (because they were re-sentenced to a longer prison term because the first judge didn't honor federal minimum sentencing standards). Some Bundy boys and their crew came in and hijacked the protest and have tried to turn it into a Waco situation.

But the poachers/arsonists are the Hammonds in Oregon. Just wanted to make sure everyone keeps the facts straight...

They don't want to spend more time in jail, but they've distanced themselves from this whole armed takeover of a bird sanctuary thing, lol.
