I come from a state that had a history of range wars.

In short, I think the rancher in this situation is a nut, and in the wrong.

I also think that sending over armed troops to kill his cattle and threaten him is not only unjustified, but illegal.

That being said, this thing stinks. It screams of a set up. You don’t graze for free on BLM land for 20 years. Back home they come looking for you if you are 30 days late on a payment.

It is quite bizarre. Look at the Harry Reid - Neil Kornze involvement here:

These people are neighbors of sorts. I bet this thing has deep and old roots.
