The standoff between a Nevada rancher and the U.S. government escalated Wednesday when protesters confronted federal agents tasked with the chore of rounding up approximately 900 “trespass cattle.”
The confrontation, captured on video, resulted in one protester, the rancher’s son, being hit with a stun gun while another, the rancher’s daughter, was pushed to the ground. One woman said federal officials struck her with their vehicle.
“You have no right to be here!” a female protester shouted at agents.
One of agents warned the demonstrators to back up or they would get bitten by their K9 unit.
“Don’t threaten a woman!” another protester shouted back.
The U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management and U.S. National Park Service confirmed in a statement that one protester was hit with a stun gun, adding that the action only occurred after a demonstrator attempted to block federal agents with an all-terrain vehicle.
“A BLM truck driven by a non-law enforcement civilian employee assisting with gather operations was struck by a protester on an ATV, and the truck’s exit from the area was blocked by a group of individuals who gathered around the vehicle,” the agencies said in a statement.

Obama brownshirts hard at work.
Sheriff, arrest the “tazer man”. Now.
Never underestimate the capability for brutality of a cornered bureaucrat.
Wherever they’re staying... they need to be refunded and their belongings on the curb. Don’t feed them either.
Hate them out of town.
The sheriff of this county is apparently balless.
Never underestimate the capability for brutality of a cornered bureaucrat.
The governor ... who has spoken out against the federal government’s attack on the citizens of Nevada ... should consider calling up the National Guard to protect Nevadans.
Or bought.
Once control of the land is established via court order or by bringing armed men with automatic weapons, BLM then turns around and leases the land to fracking companies who proceed to exploit the land using hydraulic fracturing techniques that inject toxic chemicals into groundwater supplies (and have been linked to earthquakes). The money collected by the BLM is then used to increase BLM salaries and bonuses.
In essence, the BLM is a criminal mafia racket, and Cliven Bundy just happened to be in the way of their next target, the Gold Butte area of Nevada. That is why they brought hundreds of heavily armed men to a "save the tortoise" operation."
So is Dingy, his fam or buds getting a piece of the oil action? "
Clark County = Las Vegas = Dingy Hairy.
Difference being the critters you named will fight for survival & will otherwise leave you and I alone.
We have Waco, Ruby Ridge, and now a Nevada rancher. Why does our government act like a bunch of bullies and thugs under a Democrat Administration? People are killed and no one gets punished.
The BLM has already done untold damage to personal property and the environment, for what, a tortoise? Does anyone really have a cogent argument for all this mayhem? Is that tortoise really endangered?
Or, could it be, with a little applied common sense, all can survive as they have for centuries?
"Protesters, many of whom have traveled from neighboring states to form “militias” in support of the rancher, have “crossed into illegal activity,” the statement added,"
You can see where this is going...
If they would pay the rent for renting land they don’t own there would be no problem. When you don’t pay rent you get evicted! Why should it be any different for them?
These are Nazis!Time for blood!
The GOPe will come to save the day.
