Sadly, this entire story reminds me of an old western cowboy movie with land grabbing, water rights and all. It may not be long before the gun fights begin.
Having lived in the west, I understand the importance of water rights and Mr. Bundy is clearly a victim of some of that.
Per Bundy’s son David, who was interviewed by Fox, what upsets me is that the BLM deliberately destroyed some of the water holes and pipeline systems that fed water to a variety of domestic cattle and wildlife in that area as well. Are you surprised? NOT ME.
This is not the first time the feds have acted this way.
Did you ever see the movie Milagro Beanfield War? Has many elements similar to what’s happening now.
I was thinking this whole story reminded me of the movie Chinatown. Jim Robinson even posted about a character named Mrs Mulroy. I believe that was the name of Faye Dunaways character in the movie. If you recall it was about a murder and who controlled water rights in Los Angeles.
