The sheriff was threatened in Oregon, I posted a picture here somewhere, but the locals tried to keep it peaceful, knowing full well that the only hope of being successful was negotiating. Whereas Rooster Cogburn(Ammon Bundy) came up from Utah with his gang, and thinks confrontation will win the day.

Asked how he would respond to law enforcement, Bundy played down the prospect of a confrontation, saying he and the other men posed “no threat to anybody”. “This facility is owned by the people, and so if they come to bring physical harm to us, then they will be doing it only because of a facility, or a building. And I don’t believe that warrants killing people.”

That tells me his head is up his ass. What he's doing may not warrant killing people, but what he does when they say GTFO, could be interfering with law enforcement, resisting arrest, and that whole slew of catchall charges, they throw when you make them late for supper. We've already seen that can get you seriously killed, not mostly dead, and the Feds have orders of magnitude more firepower than any police department. It's not a protest like the Wall Street occupiers, it's an armed insurrection which is a whole new ball game. Wounded knee, David Koresh, Ruby Ridge, Philly's MOVE, etc,etc,etc.
