1. Idiots, all that manpower and they couldn't catch a guy they think had a gun

2. With visual evidence of who it was, I might add.

Maybe they don't want to find out who it was?

Maybe they already know who it was?

5. Maybe they're just afraid of guys who will fight back

7. That, too!

3. I'm not surprised the FBI is asserting it merely appears

to be someone firing a gun. The FUD caused by that one simple assertion is easy bait for exploitation by bad actors.

4. -

If the Dems were doing this horrific stuff (they wouldn't) & the right was protesting there'd have already been agents killed. Remember the dust-up over ammon bundy? They had people pointing rifles at federal agents b/c some dipshit didn't want to pay for land or whatever.

8. and his bovines are still out there on federal public land, illegally.

And grazing fees go unpaid. Gotta be in the millions, by now.
