Out-of-state groups ride in to stand with Nevada rancher in battle with feds over grazing rights

Groups from as far away as New Hampshire are riding out to Nevada to join the cattle rancher whose standoff with the federal government is growing tenser by the day.

The groups said they were going to the ranch, some 80 miles north of Las Vegas to stand with Cliven Bundy, who property is surrounded by federal agents. Bundy's herd, which once numbered nearly 1,000, is being thinned out by private contractors under the watch of dozens of armed federal agents in SUVs and helicopters, the government says, he has refused for two decades to pay fees to allow the cattle to graze on federal lands.

“Our mission here is to protect the protestors and the American citizens from the violence that the federal government is dishing out,” Jim Landy, a member of the West Mountain Rangers, who made the journey from Montana to Nevada, told Fox News Channel. “People here are scared.”

Bundy's family called for support this week after some incidents of violence between the family and protestors with law-enforcement. Bundy’s son was shot with a stun gun on Wednesday and his sister, Margaret Houston was pushed to the ground in incidents caught on video. The protests began to grow last week, after agents from the federal Bureau of Land Management shut off access to a large swath of federal land to round up Bundy’s cattle.

There is nothing the Feds would like better than for one of the militia types to threaten or open fire. I have mixed thoughts. There isn’t any doubt that the Feds are pushing this at this time for political reasons. They can’t have the next election on Obamacare so they’re going for something bigger.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. It is very important that no hotheads start domething that will make the BLM or Obama look good.

I believe they found their auction house: http://www.richfieldreaper.com/news/local/article_0a1215b4-bf61-11e3-8b16-001a4bcf887a.html

HEY FOX NEWS-!!!!!

‘TENSER,’ - REALLY - ???!

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO GRAMMAR/ENGLISH??

Just yesterday I heard 2 or 3 grammatical errors - not necessarily on FOX -
I didn’t know what was up with all the mistakes - in one day!
No - not an English major.
My ears just hurt lately!

Oh - just in case - - the word is a phrase: ‘more tense.’

- - - unless I’m behind the times and incorrect has become correct - -

I am starting to think you *might* be correct.

Seeing the pictures of Hillary in the past few weeks --they are clearly reaching a "Weekend at Bernie's" level with her. She's a mess. It's going to be tough to prop her up for a campaign run.

Then I wonder, well who else do they have? Pretty much no one.

He's all they got. Plus he holds the magic race card.

He’ll be sorry that he went for the dollar, especially now that the BLM decided they don’t want to risk their men to the retaliation that was certain to come.

At least there was a time when Reid would have needed bodyguards to have a drink at the Stockman’s in Elko.

These videos are for people who don't yet understand why Cliven Bundy broke his agreement with the BLM. They show why the BLM should not even be managing the public lands of Nevada or any other state.

Here's one that shows why the Sheriff of Clark County is duty bound to keep the BLM and all Federal agents from arresting Cliven Bundy.
