Absolute proof of why we need the First and Second Amendments. This never would have happened without a stand by courageous, armed patriots.

[ops33]

Very true. I suspect, or hope, that somebody very high up bitch slapped the BLM, otherwise it could have become another Waco.

[Junk Silver]

Yes, it was the armed militias that scared these low-life cowards away, but that never should have been necessary. If the sheriff had done his job and arrested the federal cattle ranchers there would have been no need to negotiate the return of this stolen property.

We need State and Local government officials who understand the constitution and are willing to stand against this dangerous growing federal bureaucracy.

The militias should just be a fail-safe.

[nhwingut]

Love how the bureaucratic hack says Bundy “owes taxpayers.” No he owes corrupt political hacks at wasteful government agencies who came up with bogus fees and taxes to drive out ranchers in order to make way for the ChiComs.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

I haven’t seen anything in the news (Including Fox) about the Harry Reid/Reid’s son/Chinese connection to wanting that land for a Solar Plant. When is that going to surface?

[PLD]

They should say the criminal Reid will continue to push the take over so he can sell to China..that old fart is really getting brave..

[jdsteel]

Are their lips moving? Then they must be lying. I hope the local supporters stay vigilant and with cameras ready.

[servantboy777]

Folks are fed-up is what they are.

I hope and pray more citizens begin standing up to these thugs.

No one wants armed conflict, except the alphabet agencies. Who showed up with all their toy’z first?

Well...there ya have it.

“We ask that all parties in the area remain peaceful and law-abiding...”

Okay, BLM. You first.

[trebb]

They will probably team up with the EPA and IRS - will triple the size of the army they can put on the ground and add some more ruthlessness to the mix.

They won't be happy until they get the opportunity to use lethal force to put those who resist into "their proper place".

"After 20 years and multiple court orders to remove the trespass cattle, [rancher Cliven] Bundy owes the American taxpayers in excess of $1 million. The BLM will continue to work to resolve the matter administratively and judicially,"

Bad article that reinforces the government's bogus storyline. Bundy has not been allowed to pay his grazing fee because he has refused to sign the illegal terms and conditions that would destroy his livlihood. The BLM wants to get rid of Bundy and all other ranchers and are using the Endangered Species Act to illegally reduce ranchers allotment and vastly increase fees.

Bundy's legal claims are shaky. He needs a real legal team who can attack the BLM thugs and their criminal behavior. What he is doing now just won't work.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Try to imagine where we would be all over this country if we didn’t have guns. These progressive goons would have their boot on everyone’s throats 24/7. Its bad enough with guns.

[Colonel_Flagg]

The Bureau of Land Management vowed Saturday that it would continue its legal fight to remove illegal cattle from a rural Nevada range after ending a tense weeklong standoff with a rancher and his supporters.

If only the FedGov was as concerned with removal of 25 million illegal aliens.

[Don Corleone]

“Legal Action” now there is a unique concept for the Democrats?

[JayAr36]

The BLM cancels his grazing leases and then says he owes them money! Corruption personified.

[Logical me]

The BLM is a communists controlled brown shirts organization and answers to no one but Reid who is one of the right arms of King Obama. The entire Washington, with very few exceptions, is so totally corrupt I fear America is lost. Remove the weapons in the hands of the BLM and these cowards would run.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Some congressman, any congressman, needs to insert a rider in a “must pass” appropriations bill that states that *all* federal land takings in Clark county, Nevada, are to be returned to their previous owners and their families, stripped of federal preserve designations, and that no federal lease of that land is valid. It is either owned by private families or the county itself.

While the Democrats would likely spot it and kill it, it would drive Harry Reid nuts, because he would know that the minute he is out of power, that resolution would be passed, and he and his bastard son would lose all their precious Chinese graft money.

If the Republicans pass it when they are in power, it should include a formal apology to the ranchers whose land was taken, as well as reparations to them for their loss from the takings.

[DeWalt]

This was all bluff and was not a Federal court order. The courts enforcement arm is the U.S. Marshals Service. Not the BLM. Was Bundy served by a Marshal? Why wasn’t the Marshal Service in command and control?

[Piranha]

We need congressional hearings. Which committee has oversight over BLM?

[Flick Lives]

Legal discovery is gonna’ be a bitch... for Sen. Reid.
