What is a “ first amendment area”?
There seem to be two clearly different types of property involved. That owned by the rancher in fee simple, 150 acres or so and perhaps the remnant of an old homestead of 160 acres.
The rest is property owned by the government and not homesteaded or other wise conveyed since acquired in the 1840’s. Over time, methods were evolved for using the property that did not involve actual ownership. It is this contract evolution that is at issue. It appears that the rancher allowed the contract to lapse.
The King's Men set this up for the peasants in the middle of "nowhere near the Despotic brutalities".
If you want to get tased and beaten, go outside the "First Amendment area".
Interestingly, when a Roman citizen was arrested back in the day, he wasn't beaten, made to crawl before the Emperor's Men, eat dirt and he wasn't curbstomped...
We've progressed a lot since the Roman Republic.
It appears that the government began conspiring to lock up the land and kick all the ranchers off of it shortly after Bill Clinton's first election victory.
