I sometimes sit here and imagine what the looks of utter shock on some faces are going to look like when the next waco rolls around. Most people like to sit at their computers and firmly believe that nobody in the great american nation would ever willingly stand up to the mightiest army the world has ever seen, yet are totally oblivious to the atmosphere and attitudes of the portion of this population as it concerns their continuing antipathy regarding ever increasing encroachment of the federal government. We see it daily in the news now, states making resolutions or introducing bills to increase the strength of the 10th Amendment. States rights/powers are not just important to the legislatures of those states. Most of those legislative bodies are finally listening to a growing pool of pissed off people.

someone up front of this post had it right on when they talked about community level events. There are some communities/neighborhoods who have gotten very close and tight with one another. Those of like minds and attitudes concerning the federal government have made decisions on any reactions from them, should something occur. This community just might be your next waco. Understand that if something like waco were to happen again, no number of news reports detailing planned terrorism, drug trading, child molestation, or anything that would normally rile up the majority of the populace in to supporting the government will be enough to put out the fanned flames of anger and retribution. It will indeed start small, but like the california wildfires growing with the wind, you'll see an inevitable onslaught of small and growing firefights between these communities and 'oppressive' forces.

As to the viability of success? Dunedan has it about right just for starters. 850,000 people who feel strongly enough about freedom in this country, rightly or wrongly, will violently react. If you choose to disregard these numbers, I suggest you reconsider by googling 'three percenters', 'oath keepers', and 'kill all they send'. It's not just the 'far right wing' you need to worry about either. It's the quiet middle ones that will prove the surprise to you. People who you would never have thought to be so inclined, will shock the hell out of you as they join with the so called 'extremists'.

There will be no more free wacos, but what should scare people more than the thought of some small violent skirmish of far right nut jobs should be the impending example that the government will need to make out of a group of people as the growing wave of limited federal government support grows. The match is already lit, it's just waiting for the feds to light the fuse.
