I haven't chimed in so far but here goes...
I predict that this is not the last of the conflict with the "goons"... They can only do what goons do - inflict pain through the use of force. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong, that is inconsequential. Winning the game is all that matters. They don't care if some of you get hurt or not (and some of you will). Just like in the movie "V", they can only do what they know and that is to escalate the force. They were caught off guard at first and didn't know how to handle the "freestaters" but now they have their game plan and they will not change plans until they either win or are beaten. Make no mistake, they consider this "war" and they are prepared to use all the war tools they have at their disposal. Before this is over, some of you will be dead. Perhaps some of them will be dead. Like in the movie "V" where the little girl is shot, be prepared for a nighttime raid where one or more of you are killed. I hope it is not a little child, but it might be. When they come through those doors with their goon suits on and M-16's with their finger's on the triggers, anything can happen...
I hope I'm wrong here, but I don't think I am. Waco was some time back but it's clear that the mindset has not changed. Indeed, it CANNOT change as it is the only thing the goons know - force. They see all the "non-compliers" as a threat to their very existence and they will even convince themselves that you guys are a threat to their families. The brainwashing goes deep and goons always see themselves as the victims and justify their force by that thinking.
I hope and pray I'm wrong guys, but just in case I'm not, get ready...
PS. Brock, I love your new avatar - looks like turn 6...
