Sheriff, feds: Rancher must be held accountable

RENO, Nev. (AP) — U.S. Bureau of Land Management officials say they agree with a Nevada sheriff's position that rancher Cliven Bundy must be held accountable for his role in an April standoff between his supporters and the federal agency.

Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie said Bundy crossed the line when he allowed states' rights supporters, including self-proclaimed militia members, onto his property to aim guns at police.

"If you step over that line, there are consequences to those actions," Gillespie told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "And I believe they stepped over that line. No doubt about it. They need to be held accountable for it."

Bureau spokeswoman Celia Boddington, in a statement released Saturday to The Associated Press, said the agency continues to pursue the matter "aggressively through the legal system."

"There is an ongoing investigation and we are working diligently to ensure that those who broke the law are held accountable," she said, declining to elaborate.

The FBI declined comment Saturday on its investigation. Bundy did not respond to a request for comment.

The Bureau of Land Management says Bundy owes over $1 million in fees and penalties for trespassing on federal property without a permit over 20 years. Bundy, whose ancestors settled in the area in the late 1800s, refuses to acknowledge federal authority on public lands.

They did not mind another Waco. It was the thought of their hides getting punctured that caused them to pull in their horns. They have no problem with shooting and killing human beings, in fact, they get off sexually doing it. They just do not like it when the humans are in a position to shoot back. They prefer their victims to be either kneeling or laying on their stomach with their hands bound behind them begging pleading for their lives and crying. Any resemblance between them is purely coincidental.

On that point, we agree.

I can’t help but agree with you. As we speak[write] they are reviewing their actions to see where they messed up. The next time they will go in shooting or launch a drone strike.

I really think this time they'll go after him through the courts. They'll freeze his bank accounts, eliminate his cash stream, and make it impossible for him to buy supplies for himself or his livestock or to sell any of his cattle.

Do these BLM a$$ holes know what happens when they back someone into a corner like that? They have no intention of taking him alive. I utterly despise these pieces of excrement, and I do not mean to insult excrement.

Publicly, no one on the Government side will be held responsible. There may be a few ass chewings in private behind closed doors but that is as far as it will go.

His term is up in 2014 but he won big in 2010.

Where we are able to make it so, we need state laws that affirm the right of any citizen to run for the elected position of sheriff, regardless of law enforcement background or lack thereof.

BLM hold yourselves accountable for bullying those you are supposed to protect

Just about every Fed there was from out of state, that's the DHS way to murder.

Yep. The Chinese troops at Tienanmen Square were all from outlying provinces.

Every dictator instinctively knows that it's easier to get people to murder those other people that they don't personally identify with.

Note the hard-on.

Yep. They get an excuse to confiscate more guns.

They don't have to take him alive, dead, or any other way. They just destroy his business. By the time they're done he'll have his cattle, and no way to sell them. He'll have his ranch, but no way to buy supplies for it or himself. It'll be a pyrrhic victory for him at best.

This is exactly what I thought would happen. BLM back down to avoid a fire fight, then come back at’em later...one at a time.

Those fellas up on that bridge defending the folks prolly wish they'd covered their faces now.

One at a time, they will have their doors busted down and will be arrested in the dead of night by the boy’z in black.

You can count on it.

[skinkinthegrass]

The Government and that corrupt Sheriff have
no intention of Bundy going to trial.
They want to murder him as soon as they can.absolutely..Why would, they (Govt. JB thugs) want him alive?...

This sheriff will send his boys out next time and stay in his office under the desk. CW2 is not the shit storm you really want to open. Once this rolls it will be a gorilla war in all 57 states.

Sheriff Doug Gillespie’s term ends in January, 2015, and he did not run for reelection. The winner of the non-partisan primary is Assistant Sheriff Joe Lombardo.

During the Bundy attack, Lombardo was Gillespie’s mouthpiece to the media, but where he will stand on this when Gillespie is gone is unknown.
