Cowboy strategy

I think the dingbat cowboys at the refuge want violence with the Feds. They think it will help their cause. They won't leave without it.

The Feds either surrender or drag them out.

I would like to see locals deputized to drag them out instead -- if they would.

Violence, in any case, strikes me as inevitable from the beginning. The questions are when and how much. The dingbats will settle for nothing less.
