not that fuffy; less scaly maybe.

New images of cattle rancher Cliven Bundy’s tense standoff with the Federal Bureau of Land Mangement (BLM) on Saturday afternoon reveal how the armed agency’s military operation configured to forcefully engage Bundy cowboys and their supporters who sought to liberate federally confiscated cattle over the weekend.
These exclusive images were taken by a GMN photographer positioned right above the action on the Southbound side of Interstate 15 near Bunkerville, Nevada.
Despite the BLM being instructed to leave the Bundy Ranch and Gold Butte area earlier that morning, the agency still insisted had a legal right to be there and that it would not let go of hundreds of cows it had already taken away from the Bundy Family. Critics are asking if that ‘legal right’ also includes stationing a federal military force in Bunkerville.
Prior to this standoff, the special agent in charge of BLM’s ground operations, Daniel P. Love, had issued a warning that any one who crosses the federal line in order to free the seized cattle – will be arrested. Love went on boasting his agency’s advantage over Bundy supporters when saying, “I’ve seen your numbers right now, you’d better hope that 10,000 show up.”
It turns out that protesters needed far less numbers to overcome Love’s federal army. In the end, a Bundy’s contingent of 150 cowboys on horseback and a few hundred of peaceful supporters – backed by a well-organised volunteer militia, all together, proceed to march past the BLM’s line of demarcation to the entrance of cattle holding area, prompting the platoon of armed federal tactical teams to stand down and fall back.
This is the first collection in a three part series, showing the federal government’s military build-up to Saturday’s climax under US Interstate 15…

You bolster my argument that there are thousands who would be Fed jackboots for any agency for public persuasion to get personal power over others. Makes me think of Judas selling Jesus out to the Romans and to a later time/date Benedict Arnold selling out the USA. I would still like to see a rogues gallery be published of all the jackboots who were part of Reid’s gang. The press didn’t seem to want to keep the protesters privacy.
Well Obama did tell us what he was going to do!!!!!!

In his own words no less!!!!!We can’t say we weren’t warned.
See? All it needs is a little fluffy aura...
I’m sold!
Well said, Sensei.
I’m thinkin’ a couple of homemade drones would ruin their night.
Did you notice how quickly the tucked tail and ran when it became apparent that they could be hurt in any unfolding entanglement?
Veggies are not my forte’. I’m a carnivore and proud of it...bacon, meat and potatoes first, veggies somewhere after dessert, maybe.
Whatever the feds wanted to accomplish was shot down from the get-go. They will be met with more and more resistance if they continue to obey Slimy Reid and his Evil son.
They were brilliant.
Kinda reminds me of Stephen King’s The Stand...
Right here in the Mojave Desert.
I don’t think too many people (especially FReepers) are unaware of the comments Ozero made regarding a civilian security force as strong, powerful and well-funded as our military defense. Many expected it would come from assembling the likes of Acorn, the New Black Panthers, Occupy Wall Street moonbats, a collection of enviromental whackos, and various other groups that would begin to resemble the Hitlerjugend.
What? Wait. That looks like you need red meat...no wonder you aren’t fluffy...
Poor thing...
Looks to me like a few .50 cal Barrets could raise some dust around the ridges where the jackboots deployed. I know a fellow that has a 338 Lapua that can do the same. I’d bet a plain old 338 SAko or 7mm Mag could pop off a varmint at such distances. Many ex service men and others have such target pieces.
I love that word varmint. My dad used to say that word all the time. LOL. How applicable for those blm bastards.
