Stefan offers an equally excellent followup to the Bundy Ranch Standoff: [The Bundy Ranch Standoff] is what the gov calls "an attempt to resolve the matter administratively and judicially." Which is: give us all your cattle which we will sell to pay the fines we imposed upon you to save a tortoise that we are currently murdering ourselves or we will shoot your family. This is called a resolution of a dispute on the part of the government. I guess it's the same way that a bully in the schoolyard resolves the dispute over your lunch money by punching you in the face and telling you to hand it over. "Oh, look, a resolution."
