I don't like these numbskulls and their shenanigans, and it's fun speculating on various humiliating things happening to them...but in all seriousness, I don't want them hurt. I don't want any of the deputies, police officers, FBI agents, etc., who are dealing with them to be hurt. I'm not the praying type (atheist...), but my urgent wish is that no one dies over this idiocy.

Of all the things to potentially go to war with your own government about: that the sweetheart grazing deals you get aren't good enough and that government insists on committing the "tyranny" of having land set aside that you can't run cattle on.

Not slavery or genocide or eliminating elections or anything actually worth shedding blood over....
