We'll see though. One can't overestimate the governments capacity for stupidity.

True, it would be best to let the last one slide, and just hope that the abject failure of this uprising discourages any other such couch militia from trying a stunt like it. At least this time it was in the middle of nowhere and an empty building, last thing the US needs is another McVeigh being encouraged.
But, that being said, it's election year this year, and I dare say if Bernie gets in then there'll be all kinds of angry talk, same with Hillary really.
And I wouldn't be at all surprised if Cruz or Trump gets in if someone on the left did something stupid too. Polarisation breeds radicalisation.
