I am all for working to gain public support but in this case you are talking about a constuency that would happily see the Bundy property get plundered.

Someone better have a better descriptive title going for them than just "local resident" to impress me to abandon someone to the vultures when I have deployed to defend them.

The "anonymous local resident complaint" is one of the oldest lies in the book, but it shows where the anti-Bundy faction is on this.

Everything about this is now a game changer and interesting to pick brought and analyze how the different factions make their plays. Fake victim play, weak and cowardly but effective.
