A few brief words on the #OregonNinnyhammers.
The BLM station in question is at a wilderness location, well isolated
from any population centers (cutting way the heck down on risk to
bystanders). Casualties to media, regardless of who inflicts them,
should be considered self-inflicted (don't be going where cranky armed
people are in dispute, m'kay?).
If LE is doing their jobs (and
we've not seen anything to the contrary), they have established a secure
perimeter and cut all utilities (water/power/etc) to the facility and
set up a nice warm camp for themselves. Given the sites isolation from
civilization and the local weather conditions there is absolutely no
hurry about anything.
Work smarter, not harder. In this instance, let the weather do the work for you.
Urban adventures, where non-media bystanders are at risk, are an
entirely different kettle of fish and may actually justify intervention.
An isolated federally owned medium-sized cabin in the wilderness isn't
worth a single person suffering a hangnail, let alone getting
shot/killed barring significant new data.
