Yeah, what the fuck?

    100% disagree.

    The FBI waged a war against right wing militias back in the 90s and they lost that war when Timothy McVeigh made his move. Ever since then, the FBI has treated those groups with the gloves on and been extremely cautious with them. Look into the Bundy ranch dispute and how that was handled a few years ago.

    Most of these militia groups are in small towns out in the rural country and far away from the big cities, as it is seen as a problem for the people living there, opposed to the majority. America already treats it's de-industrialized small towns and rural areas like they don't exist anymore and just ignores them.

      Eh. Waco could be considered confrontation with a right wing group. That didn't end well for them. The Malheur rebellion ended up caving and retreating. They seemed to have shot Finicum pretty much for no reason. The Michigan governor plot group did glow and was like 1/4 FBI agent but they were all arrested. I am gonna pause here though because one reply is as deep as I am going in a bizarre argument in defense? of the U.S. military or FBI lol

        Nor did it end well for the FBI or ATF who handled that so poorly from the beginning and resulted in all those deaths. McVeigh's bombing was a direct retaliation to how the Waco incident was handled.
