I can't cite my sources and I know people on FR have been talking about this all day, but I come from a family of military, fire fighters with law enforcement mixed in. Many of my Twitter followers and Facebook friends are law enforcement. With that said, many of these people are on the side of the Bundy's. I am getting bombarded with posts from retired NY State Troopers, Sheriffs from all over the country and some that I will just say are in or very close to the whole Bundy situation. They are telling me that the BLM's fallback is just a temporary thing and they will be back without warning and with more federal force. They are attempting to alert others to this fact and get their message out. I know them all personally, and the ones in NY are people fighting Cuomo's (un)Safe Act. It's really eery when I'm getting sent messages from who many think are "the enemy" who are on our side, support the Bundy's and say the worst is yet to come, sorry I can't share more.
I know when I say “two have” that doesn’t sound like much. But what they are discussing amongst themselves is the real fear of retaliation that will affect their families from the FED. They are not wealthy people that could fight a 20 year court battle. But if things escalate all bets are off. What they lack in wealth they make up for in other areas, and only as an absolute last resort.
You talk about private property—138 cattle are already missing or presumed dead, many calves without mothers, if you run the family into bankruptcy the land is up for sale. Who do you think will buy it?
All “legal”.
And the fed doesn’t care much about private property these days.
I suspect the land has already been paid for by some kind of Federal promissory note to pay off the money debt held by China.
That will be part of the settlement or court decision that comes out of this. Killing cattle on the open range is a time honored BLM tradition. The taxpayer usually pays. Invading a mans domicile and harming humans is a different critter.
..?.. Back down on the rum a little bit....you'll be ok. :)
LOL. Laz and have been having fun with trolls. They don’t realize. WE are trolling FOR THEM.
