I will give the BLM agent, at the gate, during the video we all saw, credit. He looked and was most likely ex military. He backed off, and then the BLM retreated and left.
That guy was well trained, in conflict resolution, and was not willing to shoot on American citizens, as was threatened by the BLM previously.
I believe it was his decision, that averted a more violent crisis, as we saw in Waco/Ruby Ridge.
Sometimes, it only takes one person...
