Remember the Browns?  Well, they just got taken in by the Feds, with no resistance.  The Browns had refused to pay their income taxes, declaring them unconstitutional and stating they were leaving free or in a hail of bullets....well, a group of US Marshals pretended to be supporters of the Brown families resistance, and nabbed them without any problems on their front porch.

The Browns are going to begin the 63 month sentence they face for tax evasion, and will likely be facing other charges because their property is littered with booby traps and illegal explosive devices.

After federal raid disasters like the ones at Ruby Ridge and Waco, the Feds decided to do things in a slow, methodical way that would avoid a big firefight.  Locals were getting impatient because of the stream of crazy militiamen and other assorted nutbars visiting the Browns to support them.  The only major action that happened before the Browns were taken in was in June when the Feds surrounded the property while they seized another Brown owned property.

I think the Marshals made a good choice in taking a slow methodical approach in dealing with these nuts instead of doing a big raid that ends in a big firefight and people getting killed, Ruby Ridge and Waco both ended up big PR disasters for the Feds.
