The recent lawlessness in Nevada by a small army of wannabe Timothy McVeighs over a freeloading rancher's long-term illegal use of public property has surfaced one revealing nugget of information: the right-wing militia types were prepared to use women as human shields in a potential gun battle with the Feds. The cowards believed that the resulting images of carnage would spark outrage and greater rebellion against the Government.
Many if not most of the militia types came from other states, itching for a violent confrontation with Federal officers in a situation that they didn't have a real stake in. The fact that they were contemplating such a sick action as using women as human shields speaks volumes about their sociopathic perversity.
