I don’t deal in cheap shots. It takes mind reading on both sides to make that determination. So, I also don’t deal in mind reading. I wouldn’t have a clue what the cheap shot is supposed to be.
As to the hero status of LaVoy Finicum, I agree. The way he became such was his friendship with the Bundy’s and their long standing issues with the BLM specifically and Government in General. You will also know that they made efforts to pay their grazing fees for years while the rogue Southern Utah office of the BLM was running amuck in their part of the country driving ranchers off their land to the point of the Bundy’s being the last working ranchers in that part of Nevada.
One can only wonder what “adventures” you are referring too, while the Bundy’s were up to their you know what in BLM alligators attempting to drive them off their land as they had succeeded doing with numerous others. There is a lot to digest but the roots of most of the trouble began with the Sagebrush Rebellion caused by the US Governments retention of large percentages of State Lands of the twelve Western States versus the Eastern States where an average of only five percent of State lands remained in Federal hands.
I seem to recall the Jarbidge road closure issue in Northern Nevada as an incident covered heavily on Freerepublic and attended by a much revered Freeper from Idaho. I believe it was the Jarbidge shovel brigade. One of many issues that were part of the Sagebrush Rebellion. It’s only going to continue as long as the US Government continues to abuse the States and “We the People” that should be Sovereign over the Fed rather than the other way around.
The FReeper for your thinking about is Jeff Head. I think he probably passed he hasn’t been active since 2019. He reported he had a health issue before that.
I’m not going to get into discussing the Bundy’s any further. It’s all out there on the net, much of it on the FR, for anyone who wants to research it.
