Just because a government or state says something is legal does not make it ethical. All centralized government is force, if you do x, x will happen to you because we said so. These "redneck militias" as you call them are nothing more than people, the government employees tasked with enforcing laws are nothing more than people.
I wouldn't have done what those "rednecks" did simply for self preservation reasons. I would pick a better battle to have, more weighted in my favor. Regardless of what your position is you have to give them mad respect for standing up for themselves against overwhelming odds, whether you agree with them or not.
All statists are against freedom. This is a logical, rational, and empirically tested fact. Necessary evil? I'm not convinced. One thing is for sure though, the power of the state is growing exponentially. I'm sure none of you enjoy the NSA spying on everything you do. This is just a small push back by a group of people against one issue, what underlies all this is much bigger.
I'm not a maniac, I know a lot of them though. I helped save the lives of many Iraqi's who I could have just wasted if I wanted too because my state said I had the monopoly on force.
