I understand that, but I was thinking more in terms of retaliation. The sword cuts both ways. Haven’t the feds been bringing down the hammer on these sorts of groups lately?(by that I mean attacking back)
When they always have a safe haven to run to and lay low in a comfortable way without significant losses (that aren't just cost of business), what good is such a slap?
In my mind I see it like the same as throwing a beer bottle at a robbers car as they drive away. Even if you hit it, at best it's some scratches or maybe a busted tail light, but they're still gone with your goods.
