Trespassing cows: Lonely cowboy UN victim

In the old days of the Wild West, there was always a gunslinger around to spring cowboys from jail cells.

Like the rangy sheriff from High Noon, Luther Wallace "Wally" Klump was on his own with the odds stacked cornstalk high against him.

Klump, sent to the slammer April 21, 2003 celebrated his 70th birthday there.

There was no sweet chorus of Happy Birthday sung by his grandchildren but only the convicts, some of whom took refuge in the Good Book when Klump found himself in their midst. The injustice of it was never lost on the convicts who presented the cattle rancher with a birthday card declaring, the "BLM sucks!"

BLM is the acronym for Klump’s nemesis, the Bureau of Land Management.

While the convicts were incarcerated for crimes like murder etc., Wally Klump’s crime was "trespassing cows" on Bureau of Land Management in Arizona’s Dos Cabezos Mountains. Or as federal Judge John M. Roll put it, "for failing to follow the court’s order prohibiting the unauthorized grazing of cattle on government allotments."

There are no printed manuals to teach cows what land is government or private, or edicts that not all grass is approved cow cud.

Huge tracts of land everywhere are being lapped up by the United Nations. . . . .

That's terrible.

"'Bureau of Land Management?' Sounds like more of Baxter's boys, Charlie."

Slick Willie gave Yellowstone to the UN - and I BELIEVE, but am not sure - he may have given them a huge chunk of wasteland in Utah, which also happens to contain the richest coal deposit on Earth.

WHAT!!!!!??? how much land does the UN have in the USA?

The UN's World Heritage sites is like an invasion of every country's autonomy. The UN needs to die.

[Nowhere Man]

That is rediculous. Putting people in prison over cows tresspassing when we have murderers and rapists out there. Anyhoo, this should not happen at all, the crux is that we should tell the UN to just "go burn in Hades." US out of UN, UN out of US.

I had NO idea! This man is a despicable bastard. His contempt and hatred of America seems bottomless. I didn't think I could loathe him more than I already did.
