Notice to stop potential bias. These means breaking the law wins. We've set a precedence. Now, drug deals can can be left alone due to the possibility of violence. And these anti-government folks should rush to support them.

Notice it actually said to "avoid potential violence", NOT "to stop violence" as you tried to put it changing the actual meaning of the report, skewing it to read as though there was violence going on....As for "breaking the law", are you speaking of the government imposing the fines? Or the protesters opposing the government actions? It makes a difference.
There was a precedence set. It was set at Waco, it was set at Ruby Ridge, it was set with Kilo, and it is continuing to be set with the land grabs across the country through regulation masking itself as law. At some point people have to see the march toward Communism we are marching toward, and stop. The first plank of communism is
"The Abolition of property in land and the application of all rents of land to public purposes. "
It started with Hoover, and has morphed since then into regulation like the EPA and Kilo, until we have **** like the Federal government owning 87% of Nevada....
Your "drug deal" analogy is hollow, and IMHO diversion meant to draw false equivalency, and highly dishonest as a form of making your point....It is also the most common of fallacy to say that A = B, you don't like B, so therefore you must be against A as well....But you know that.
What we have on display with Bundy to the letter is
"CONFISCATION OF THE PROPERTY OF ALL EMIGRANTS AND REBELS. (The confiscation of property and persecution of those critical - "rebels" - of government policies and actions,
frequently accomplished by prosecuting them in a courtroom drama on charges of violations of non-existing administrative or regulatory laws.)"
Now, you'll say that the regulation of EPA protection of the tortoise is law, and does exist, but that is the sneaky thing....It's a totally made up construct to control people...
If Bundy had paid his fees, and fines on time, his cattle would be able to graze legally today...although some environmental protection has been a good thing, and proven to have aided in cleaning up our lands, lakes, rivers, and air, it has been corrupted by progressive global socialists, and anarchists that would love to see nothing better in their eyes than to have the US fail, and crumble....But that's my opinion....Ask yourself Joe, Here are the 10 planks that Marx said must be done to bring down a free enterprise society, and you tell me how many are being done today, by this administration....
1. Abolition of property in land and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated incometax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. CONFISCATION OF THE PROPERTY OF ALL EMIGRANTS AND REBELS.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State.
6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.
Now you tell me what of these are not either being attempted, or are already in place?
