I guess my real purpose in starting this thread was to end up saying this:

There are many who agree it was a good cause, even though they might disagree with the strategy. Does it matter? Does it really matter if it was the wrong strategy? A man is dead now and many others are in jail. Our freedom is at stake. So there may be government informants infiltrating our milita. Hasn't this been the case throughout history? Will we wait for the "perfect" time to stand up and speak out against the injustices or will be protest these injustices when they happen? Will we continue to argue amongst ourselves over this, or will we unite against the common enemy? To be clear, I am not advocating violence. I am talking about the exercise of our 1st amendment rights. Will we continue to let them divide us, intimidate us, abuse our constitutional liberties, or will we stand for justice?
