FBI investigating Bundy Ranch showdown, Clark County sheriff's officials say
Fox ^ | 5/9/14

Posted on 05/09/2014 1:52:14 PM PDT by Altura Ct.

Clark County sheriff's officials say they've been interviewed by the FBI as part of an investigation into armed supporters of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy.

Assistant Sheriff Joe Lombardo told KLAS-TV that federal agents have opened an investigation into the conduct of supporters of Bundy who reportedly pointed guns at officers during a standoff at his ranch April 12.

Bundy, a states' rights advocate who refuses to acknowledge the authority of the federal government, owes more than $1 million in fees and penalties for letting his cattle use government land over the past 20 years.

Last month, the Bureau of Land Management stopped trying to round up his cattle after a showdown with hundreds of Bundy supporters, some of them armed.

Since the standoff, Bundy went from being proclaimed a patriot by some for his resistance to a racist for comments he made about blacks being better off under slavery.

Bundy supporters have denied pointing weapons at authorities and say that BLM rangers were the ones pointing guns. Lombardo said it's expected the alleged behavior would be the subject of a criminal investigation.

"The federal authorities are conducting an investigation and I am pretty confident it is going to go into the future," Lombardo told KLAS-TV.

Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie confirmed the investigation in an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal. He said agents will interview every law enforcement officer who was present during the showdown.

That’s what I was thinking - did the BLM people point guns at citizens?

That should be considered as deadly a threat as a citizen pointing a gun at a gov’t agent.

That’s part of what has the left’s panties all in a bunch.

The People have gotten to the point that they don’t recognize the legitimacy of armed gov’t agents over the legitimacy of armed citizens.

More like ‘stay away from our blockade or we’ll shoot you down like the dogs we’ve been told to believe you are.’

I think it might be the whole "unarmed women & children dying in bucketloads when there's armed government agents around" thingee.

Ruby Ridge, Waco, etc.

The FBI is being used like all the other alphabet agencies. This is another Waco. Look for the Jack Boots storming the Bundy. ranch in about four weeks in the dead of night after the summer heat has melted away the armed resistance. Anyone left defending the Bundy Ranch will be killed and all video confiscated.

When the feds show up for a trespass case fully armed and ready to start a shooting battle, they should expect to be met with an equal force.
IF the feds had sent in a couple of lawyers intent on settling the situation, none of this would have occurred.
Seems to me that our overlords want to create a shootout situation where they can slam down on American citizens.
IMHO, there are a lot of us that remember Waco and are willing to take steps to make sure that another Waco doesn’t happen.
Interesting times we live in now.
