That was just a test.
I’m surprised BLM picked Bunkerville as the place for Test #1. Rhymes too well with Bunker Hill. Are they that ignorant of history?
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"
Yep, it’s not over.
