        Sometimes it takes nut jobs and whackos to draw enough attention to a real problem before anyone thinks it's a problem.
        What are the good reasons, and what are the real problems?

                You are trying to draw a distinction between the armed takeover and the nuts doing it. That's a really weird argument. We are concluding they are nuts precisely because of the armed takeover.

                    Hey now, I never said I agreed with their actions. Just that they might have a decent cause behind the actions.

                    It's nice to see the church take a good stance on this. Of course, the PR arm of the church isn't exactly the moral compass we want to follow given their fumbling and bumbling of any gay related issue.

                        Dude kills his wife because she was cheating on him. You don't agree with his actions, but you think he has a decent cause behind the actions?

                            At least its a consideration for a lesser charge.

                                        Ha, I guess in a world where killing someone is the same as standing on a piece of federal land with a rifle, then yeah.
