In reply to the discussion: Media and Las Vegas Sheriff Deputies Break Silence over Bundy Ranch and the Mooch Militia standoff [View all]hollowdweller
(4,229 posts)2. My bet
Far as the Branch Davidians a lot of the argument was that Koresh was in town a lot why didn't they just apprehend him then rather than staging a raid and firefight.
I'm betting they have the goods both testimony and picture wise on who was drawing down on the officers. I heard a quote in an article recently where one person said "I have a clear shot at 4 of them" A lot of those guys were proud to actually have pictures of themselves taken aiming at federal, state, and county employees. That is not the same as walking down a street with an assault rifle.
Figuring as some of the militia guys get bored and leave they are going to be taken in by law enforcement on obstruction of justice and fireams charges. They may even wait till they are home and going about their business.
The moment that they can get Bundy without a serious fight, they will, and he's may be tried under some of terrorisim laws.
Probably they have one or more people on the inside right now.
However since so many Nevada wingnut politicians came out in support of the crazies the feds are going to leave them around, causing trouble so they voters will remember that come election time.

My idea about sending in a big tank sounds not so crazy now. They would have hid like squirrels.
