"...The unusual case attracted wide attention because Nelson County
Sheriff Kelly Janke took up the U.S. Border Patrol's offer of live
video surveillance from a large drone of Brossart's three sons before
arresting them at their farm southeast of Lakota the day after he was
arrested."

From what I read in the story, these were folks who
didn't get along well with the neighbors or the law.
The law finally pushed a bit harder in response to
the defiance. How many people do we know who carry
firearms while resisting law enforcement?


I don't think we've heard the end of this. They are so disliked the
neighbors opposed probation because they coudl still carry guns.

And the defendants wanted the trial moved to another district, where
people didn't dislike them so much.

And his past record of lots of trouble.

So the probation is for 3 years and then I guess they'll start carrying
their guns again, and the humility expressed at sentencing may have
evaporated. So in another 4 or 5 years, there may be more trouble. Plus
the sons have another 50 or more years to cause trouble.
