It was not until a few farmers and their allies took control of the headgates and turned the water back on that things began to happen. In that case, only a dozen farmers and their allies were at the gates the next morning when 50-70 armed law enforcement officers came and took the head gates back and again turned off the water.

I remember this story well. The sheriff showed up and read the farmers a writ that said "In the name of the people of...", and the farmers replied 'We *are* the people.'

Sieze control of the valves, and blockade all access to the site. Riot when the law clamps down. Poison the damn fish if you have to.

Actually, Sheriff's deputies were with the first bunch of LEO's that came and diverted our attention while the Feds came in the back. I was there. Read about it: HERE

Later, after the outcry got big enough, the Sheriff rescinded his invitation to the Feds to intervene.
