Would you send a SWAT team next door then?


Let’s see....

If I went to court and had to wait 20 years for the cattle to be removed I would probably be ticked and nobody could accuse the courts or me (BLM in the case of Bundy) of being impatient and overly aggressive.

The last time I checked the BLM employees and contractors have a right to be protected since they are not armed nor are they law enforcement. They are removing cows that are trespassing.

Government enforces laws by force. I don’t like all the laws, but I have to obey them or there are consequences. That is the rule of law - the same one I would love to see applied to Harry Reid. I don’t see any constitutional violations in removing his cattle nor do I see any issues with meeting threats of force (read the history of this story) with force.

The alternative is anarchy. The rule of law is wounded in our nation for many reasons, but it seems BLM was pretty patient in this instance despite all the emotion being transposed onto the story. We can either change the nation or it will break and everyone can choose sides, but I don’t see a consensus for when that will be. Some are still talking about solutions to our problems even if I am doubtful. Fact is, my property is still protected until the EPA continues for another decade like the last one.

To answer your question, I would have no problem with a SWAT team if my neighbor threatened anyone removing his cows from my property. My neighbor would be responsible for that - not me.

volunbeer, your post is a COMPLETE parroting of the BLM party line.

You're shooting your credibility in the @ss.

It's all irrelevant because it is private land. And you don't understand that this man had access to the land for grazing for a long time, well before the feds decided to charge him for it.

And after they charge him for it, they will tell him he has to dance on the top of a small pin for one hour/day. Then they will tell him he has to do something else, and then something else. Until they bully him out of the land and grazing.

This man has no doubt been paying huge legal fees to defend what is his by law already.

Bundy is no kook, he is instead, an American hero. When you have fought the abusive tactics of the feds for over 20 years get back to me. Until then you don't deserve to stand in his shadow.
