One Man Stand.

This is so wrong on so many levels, I don't even have time to talk about it. 

"Nevada Rancher Cliven Bundy - of Bundy Ranch - is locked in a standoff with the federal Bureau of Land Management over illegal cattle grazing, endangered tortoises and property rights."

Moral intuition.

• Notice how willing the government is to protect rocks (HK Geo Parks), desert tortoises (US). Now consider 200 heavily armed federal agents against a rancher. In this new world, if you are against the government or the agenda, you are worth less than a tortoise.
• Tortoises aren't worth much either. With the truth probably lying between these  sources, the whole protecting-tortoises reason is BS.

• Without media/independent coverage, firearms and supplies, this would already be over. The capability to defend life and property is what holds it all together. When technology and resources lead to an imbalance, you can expect them to use this imbalance. If the americans are ever completely disarmed, it will be the most powerful and violent state in human history ruling a mostly apathetic, hypnotized population. You already know what will happen. Oh wait, it already is.

Update: 

Good to know it's over and didn't become a shooting war.
