I don't think it was a test. They fully expected to destroy this rancher and his family. They figured he'd have cried uncle long before it got to this point.
Even so, they assumed they'd bring in the goons and put the final nails in his ranching coffin.
I guess they thought wrong.
The only message we should take today was--"Not ready yet, try back in six months"
So many of the silent majority have been silent so long, they thought they had it.... This may have been what it took to wake many up.. Hopefully it isn’t just their (Nevada) locals.. Hopefully, enough people across the nation saw what transpired and are becoming more aware of the big picture.
