I don't fully understand the OP's position here. What do you want the federal government to do?
It is not as though these people are going to 'get away' with this action. It is not as though they are getting a free pass. What is happening is that the government is being prudent and taking the correct course of action - they are going to wait them out. Going in there and kicking the door down only servers one purpose - putting the lives of all involved at risk. That is a terrible idea.
This was compared to taking a building in the center of a major metropolis and that comparison is silly. If they had taken over a building in the center of a city or any populated area then there are people who are being put at risk. in that case the government must act immediately for the safety of the general populous. Here, they are in the middle of nowhere and well armed. No one is at risk considering that there is no one in the area and the police would be in extreme danger attempting to root them out.
I would not say that they are being treated with 'kid gloves.' I would say the feds are simply keeping themselves safe.
