      We’re talking about armed militia members hunting federal workers. I don’t think they’d take kindly to the presence of a blue uniform. I’d sooner send in the army and let the good god Darwin sort it out.

      The area is a powder keg and you’re offering a matchstick.

          I’d love to have a simple solution for you that is fault-proof, pleases everyone, and can be explained in a ten-minutes-past-midnight comment. Believe me, I’d love to fix every wrong with society, but I can’t. Evacuation of the workers and letting the situation calm down is probably the best immediate action that results in the fewest lost lives. Again, the situation is fucked because of stupid, aggressive people, and that’s a problem that can’t be fixed by force.

            Cool. I’m just wondering how to stop FEMA people being murdered. I’m not concerned with pleasing anyone except their partners and kids when they see them come home in the evening.

          If you’re talking about me, no. I just don’t want anyone to get murdered while trying to help disaster victims.
