Within Patriot group circles, the response has been more like paranoia, outrage, and some tactical patience. “This action is leading to justifiable speculation and worries that others who assisted in security operations and who were at Bunkerville to show solidarity with the cause of resolving western land disputes may now find themselves rounded up,” David Codrea, a columnist for GUNS Magazine, wrote on the Oath Keepers website on February 18. “… It may be that a massive operation is in the works, but to react imprudently without actual intelligence is a good way to escalate things to the favor of those who wish to discredit the Patriot movement.” [More]How is being accurate in expectations you're now confirming "paranoia"?
I guess I should be glad he chose to cite me as the one counter voice to the DoJ and SPLC, but it sure ain't hard to see where the "correspondent's" sympathies lie.

I didn't agree with the Bundy's protest, but I appreciated their "moxie" and supported their right to do it.
We all knew that the Feds were going to gangbuster them as soon as the protest cooled down, and nobody was terribly surprised at the outcome.
They Feds had no choice; they NEEDED to make massive arrests, if only to assert their dominance.
And isn't THAT a fine commentary on this administration?
