Long post with pics, don't have the ability to copy it all from there to here with this friggin' kludge of a mobile device.

Short summary: applause to the authorities for avoiding a bloodbath. Boos and hisses for doing nothing at all to protect the locals or punish the offenders since then.

2. Yup. And has thus far not done so.

Nor has anyone done Thing One to deal with the Moocher militia as they operate checkpoints in the area around the ranch, and terrorize the media and other law-abiding citizens.

The differences between that part of Nevada and Eastern Ukraine are fast disappearing.
