Fox News toured the damage -- allegedly caused by the Bureau of Land Management -- which included holes in water tanks and destroyed water lines and fences. According to family friends, the bureau's hired "cowboys" also killed two prize bulls.

Where’s the Lone Ranger when you need him?

Cattlegate Investigation - That’s what is called for. If they can go after Chris Christie with nothing more than a suspicion and call it Bridgegate, then this should be enough to get the ball rolling - especially when tied to the shenanigans of Harry Reid and his son.

Wanton destruction. Sherman through Georgia. This is the behavior of a government at war with the citizenry and intending to crush any will to resist.

bureau's hired "cowboys"

I guess if there are still Cowboys these days there must still be Saddle Tramps as well.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Now he owes them $640 million?

This is the same government that brought you Ruby Ridge and Waco. What is their next move now?

[NormsRevenge]

Every group always has some over the top trigger happy cowboys,, but shooting prize bulls? That is low.

[Psalm 144]

“...He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.

He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.

He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the military independent of, and superior to, the civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution and unacknowledged by our laws, giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops
among us;

For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states;

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world;

For imposing taxes on us without our consent;

For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury;

For transporting us beyond seas, to be tried for pretended offenses;

For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies;

For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments...”

Good thing Uncle Joe Biden wasn’t there. Talk about being
full of bull.

What a travesty of ‘justice’.. Over what, cowpies and grass?

[Paladin2]

At this time of year, shouldn’t the Prize Bulls be hanging out around the barn, on retainer?

“Documents show the BLM paid a Utah cattle wrangler $966,000 to collect Bundy’s cattle and a Utah auctioneer to sell them.”

Good Grief.

[tumblindice]

The BLM’s new motto: “We’re more destructive than `undocumented immigrants’ and bigger jackboots than the DEA.”

[WayneS]

Don’t make me send Mr. Poo after you, feds...

[caligatrux]

...says Bundy owes $200 per day per head for every day he fails to move his cattle. That amounts to roughly $640 million in damages owed to the federal government...

That's more than half a billion dollars the feds say a rancher owes for disobeying their orders and allowing his cattle to graze on the King's land.

[WayneS]

For 400 head of cattle.

That’s almost $2,500 per...

[Logical me]

Communists run BLM knows no law but act like brown shirts in Germany’s past. They should not have body armor and assault weapons and take the posture of SWAT. The Federal Government should not be allowed to charge fee without the approval of the House and Senate. Otherwise we have lost representation on what this government can do to destroy anyone. Something is wrong here and has become evident more with this current communists control.

[NormsRevenge]

It’s a shame! They ain’t cheap.

6 figure bulls and then some exist..

[Georgia Girl 2]

Fortunately the State of Utah would not let the BLM bring any cattle in their state for auction.

[Dexter Morgan]

Ruby Ridge was shrouded in trees. Waco happened inside walls. It takes a little more planning when dealing on the open range.

[DaveA37]

I fear that in the end, Bundy will loose not only his cattle but his ranch as well. The BLM bastards, spurred on by Dirty Harry Reid will do what ever they can to reduce that rancher to dust. It is their plan and they WILL carry it out. The only saving grace to all this is that perhaps a Federal appeals court will take the issue on and reverse the decision against Bundy which, we all know is highly unlikely.
