BUNKERVILLE, NV - An emotional crowd gathered for a town hall meeting on Thursday evening in Bunkerville.

Residents and council members praised militia members gathered there in support of embattled rancher Cliven Bundy, but had nothing but vitriol for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie and the local and national media.

"The day the militia [came] was the day I felt safe again in Nevada," one meeting attendee said.

The meeting was standing-room only. City council members had harsh criticism for the media's take on the standoff between Bundy and the BLM.

"I heard things said down there. And then when it came out on the air it was a completely different animal," Bunkerville Councilman Duane Magoon said.

"Tell the whole truth. Don't spin things to get your ratings," another council member added.

One council member criticized Gillespie, saying he's been AWOL in Bunkerville.

"I'm really disappointed in our sheriff for not being out here to protect the citizens who are out here," he said.

One after another, Bunkerville residents criticized the BLM, calling it an example of overreaching government.

"It's insane and a way overreach of their power. They should be held accountable," a meeting attendee said.

"I called Metro, and their exact words to me were, ‘It's the BLM and Cliven Bundy's problem,' - and I should take it up with one of those two. There are my children and my community, and if Metro doesn't have the guts to come out and protect us – what are you here for? What are we paying you guys for?" another attendee said.

Despite reports of intimidation by armed militia, those gathered for the town hall had nothing but praise for them.

"I want to tell every one of them militia, thank you. Because not one of our government officials, not one of our sheriffs or Metro would have saved us that day. They didn't save us that day," an attendee said.

Meanwhile, Bundy and his supporters plan to file criminal reports against the BLM on Friday morning at the office of the Clark County Sheriff's Department.

Bundy's complaints include assault, rangers blocking access to public land and rangers impersonating police officers, among several others.

If the militia does move on to other areas and the Feds do move in on Bundy Ranch it will be one long, long drive back to their offices. Do they really think they will sneak in and attack then sneak out again without anyone knowing about it?

[sport]

I hope that you are correct. Because the only thing that I put past the Federal Government doing is doing something good and decent. I don’t trust them for a second. Nor believe them.

[Delta 21]

I would say your 10,000 in the country in grossly UNDER estimated.

[jsanders2001]

I think people are reading through all the crap and seeing the bigger picture. This never was about collecting delinquent grazing fees or protecting desert turtles. You don’t send out a whole SWAT type unit in those numbers armed to the teeth to collect fees or move cattle. This was clearly about the clearing the land for a specific reason; apparently at the direction of someone calling in favors. I hear that they are investigating it. The MSM is getting shut on the Benghazi hearings and there’s no doubt why. The WH is probably scared $hitless about what the MSM would report on the administration’s real knowledge about the situation and their failure to act. I think 0’s days as an MSM sweetheart crush are coming to an end. You know people would enjoy some good old reporting on Harry Reid’s connection to the Bundy Ranch matter. If I were a reporter I would contact the new BLM chief, Neil Konze (who used to work for Reid) pronto and find out exactly when they last spoke and the content of their conversation. I imagine my calls would go unreturned for some time. I’d probanly have to catch him at home...

I don’t see another ground ops happening from the fedz.

I’m more concerned about Midnight Hellfire Drone strikes from 30,000 ft.

or a well placed, fully loaded KC-135 or C-130 Tanker “falling out of the sky in just the right place”

I put NOTHING past zer0 & dingy Inc.

[mabarker1]

Yeah, like missing at least 2 more “0’s” maybe 3.

[sport]

And when it happens look foe the media to scream “Hidden ammunition and bomb making materials stockpiled by militias mysteriously blow up”.

[tumblindice]

And under Article 4 of the U.S. Constitution, the creature of the States—the federal government—is tasked with protecting the states from invasion and domestic insurrection ... not with invading the states and rustling & shooting livestock while heavily armed and acting as debt collectors.

[mabarker1]

Bingo!!!

[TigersEye]

Despite reports of intimidation by armed militia, those gathered for the town hall had nothing but praise for them.

Not a smidgeon of surprise there. I knew the media was lying.

[Jagdgewehr]

Love it.

[Smokin' Joe]

Didn’t some ‘Rat politician claim that the militia were frightening the local children?

Yeah, the new Democrat Representative from Nevada (new district).

[Smokin' Joe]

I’m more concerned about Midnight Hellfire Drone strikes from 30,000 ft.

Me, too. With the BATFE stepping in and taking over the investigation, they'd call it a "gas explosion", and make sure no one found any evidence to the contrary in the bulldozed compound.

[Smokin' Joe]

PS:
“Compound”=any two buildings, with a strand of barbed wire within a mile or two, at least for media purposes.

[blueplum]

I do. They’ll come in with warrants for individuals and try to break the core group if the last few paragraphs of this article is accurate:

another warning here:

Clark County Sheriff Douglas Gillespie has tried to keep Las Vegas police out of the dispute.

and here:

The I-Team has learned that those who were involved in threatening the lives of officers are not off the hook, even if it takes a year or more to resolve.

also:
The agency responded to the filing of police reports with a wry statement.

“We welcome Mr. Bundy’s new interest in the American legal system,” spokesman Craig Leff wrote.

there is also a public opinion counter-movement trying to get started (by three guesses who) up in Reno, trying to pit the north against the south I suppose:

[Eagles6]

Haven't heard much from the fake Conservatives since it came out that the "racist comments" made by Cliven Bundy were a contrivance by a homosexual nyt reporter at the behest of the whitehouse.

Never saw anything dropped so fast.

[Eagles6]

"When the Bureau of Land Management mobilized to go after Bundy's cattle two years ago, they did so under an administrative order. This time, it was considered a criminal matter, and the I-Team has learned that order went all the way to the White House for approval.

>> He’s not spotless

In the sense he refused to pay for the crazing fees exacted by fiat?

This is the reason why you need to know where your local cops live. If they think they can get inside your mind by making threats then we need to be ready to take action against them.

Walk up to one who you know is an a-hole and say something like, "Hi, are you still living over on Main Street? You know that new Harley you just bought, you should have got your wife a new car instead." That'll rattle his cage, I guarantee you.
