LAS VEGAS -- The son of a rural Nevada cattle rancher has been freed from federal custody, a day after his arrest by agents working to remove cattle from disputed grazing areas northeast of Las Vegas.
A U.S. attorney's office spokeswoman in Las Vegas said Monday that 37-year-old Dave Bundy is accused of refusing to disperse and resisting officers.Bundy's mother, Carol Bundy, says U.S. Bureau of Land Management agents arrested her son Sunday in a parked car on State Route 170 near Bunkerville.
Pictures obtained by the 8 News NOW I-Team show where David Bundy had parked his car to take pictures of the cattle eviction.
Bundy says he was only exercising his First Amendment rights when federal officers told him to leave the area and when he didn't, they grabbed him."Two officers surround me, third one in front of me. They jumped me and took me to the ground. You can see they scraped up my face," Bundy said.Bundy's father, Cliven Bundy, says his cattle are entitled to graze in the Gold Butte area."They steal my cattle, and that is bad enough. But they make my son a political prisoner," Cliven Bundy said.
This weekend wranglers, hired by the federal government, started removing cattle owned by Bundy from a stretch of land near the Virgin River Gorge.

On that point we agree completely. One one hand, I don't see the Constitutional power of the federal government to own this land. We could spend the rest of the weekend listing things the federal government doesn't have the Constitutional authority to do and we wouldn't exhaust the list.
On the other hand, we have Marbury v. Madison, a boot-strapping assumption of power by the federal judiciary. Yet, someone has to interpret federal laws and the Constitution. How should these be done?
Full support of Cliven Bundy doesn't mean chasing the BLM away from the old Bunkerville allotment, or passing legislation to take this power away from the BLM. It requires stripping away centuries of legal precedent established by Marbury v. Madison. The federal judicial law opposing Mr. Bundy predates the BLM and the Taylor Grazing Act.
Auntie Zeituni had no job skills, no special talent, no compelling reason to keep her here in America as an asset to our culture or our economy. She didn't value the American Dream. She was a dependency nightmare. She collected $700 a month in welfare benefits and disability payments totaling $51,000. Somehow, Auntie Zeituni also drummed up money to apply for asylum and finagled her way into both federal and state public housing in Boston.
She contributed nothing to this country. The only "work" she did was gaming the system, complaining about her lot and blaming everyone else for her problems while they subsidized her 14-year illegal overstay.
Auntie Zeituni's ridiculous asylum application and what happened afterward are reminders that our asylum and deportation systems are appalling jokes. Auntie Zeituni's bogus request was rejected by the immigration court system. A judge ordered her to return to Kenya in 2003. She appealed. She lost. A judge again ordered her to leave in 2004.
But Auntie Zeituni never went home. Like an estimated 700,000 other deportation absconders, she evaded the judicial order for nearly a half-dozen years and continued to feed at the government trough.
When the Bush administration had the chance to put the pedal to the enforcement metal in 2008, they caved. Pandering to pro-amnesty forces, Bush officials issued a 72-hour cease-and-desist order to all fugitive apprehension teams to spare Obama embarrassment over his auntie right before Election Day. "
Selective enforcement of the law is tyranny.
I agree completely and without reservation, but I don’t consider that a lie by the BLM.
there is apparently some kind of bogus endangered turtle claim.
seems it is time for a turtle hunt (for soup of course)
in other countries when an endangered animal is found on your property, you kill it very fast before any nutjob makes a habitat claim.
there are court orders that the BLM has to issue the permit. BLM ignored the court order. (fnc covered the story on stossel. this is retaliation)
The Law these days apparently speaks from the mouth of the guns of the Bureaucracies’ SWAT teams.
Sounds like a Convenient "Truth" to me. The Harry Reed run BLM has an unwritten agenda that they intend to implement by any means necessary.
Link please.
There are a boat load of rules here.
See Lois Lerner, Eric Holder and the IRS comicals.
there is a 1980’s USSC that states you can not take without compensation.
I would want to know more about this court case. Cattle grazing has a whole different set of land rules. (it is like riparian rights)
In 1993, the government decided that the land Cliven Bundy ranches on is a habitat for federally protected desert tortoises.
Sounds like a bunch of felonies related to conspiracy committed by the Feral government, starting right after Bill "Felonious Perjury Boy" Clinton was elected.
Imagine that.
Good to see you on this thread. Your previous experience with the court system may shed some light on this railroading.

Even the governor of Nevada has criticized this “free speech area”.
That anyone thinks that what USA young men gave their lives for in WWII to remove the likes of Hitler Gestapo and SS thugs from the world and danger to the USA does not exist in the USA today is just ignorant as to history. As I watched TV coverage I was wondering what goes in the mind of those in khaki uniforms with guns and other citizen injuring weapons. As a WWII vet with Pacific experience and a sole brother killed on Okinawa I have nothing but disgust for those so called law enforcement persons who are as deranged and bought as the soldiers as Judas’s in the time of Jesus. USA citizens must wake up as to the society that has been built by and for the fascists.
I'll second the motion.
Excellent post. These same people harp about big government, but when someone like Bundy actually takes a stand, they're right in there with the big government goons, cheering on the jack-booted goon squads. I think we know which side of the fence these quibblers will be on, if the SHTF.
The latest gov't "shutdown" showed the government's attitude to the people they "serve". Especially those agencies that directly manage land.
I’m sorry, I simply do not see how Auntie Zeituni or even immigration has any relation to this situation where a rancher has failed to pay the grazing fees required by congress to graze his cattle on Federal lands.
