The fact that the BLM seemed to be perfectly willing to slaughter innocent Americans using military grade weapons and tactics over 'grazing fees' on public lands is a national disgrace. This is the work of a criminal government.

I've seen little commentary beyond passing reference to observed contract troops and foreigners backing up the BLM Rangers. There have been photographs of men in sort of mixed camo with no insignia whatsoever. They stand out because the are obviously more fit than the BLM and lack all the battle rattle. The observed 'foreigner' fit the contractor/mercenary profile.

This has got me steaming like a teapot and spiking my BP. the mere fact that civilian government agencies are able hire mecenaries is mind boggling. Hell, that BLM Director Kornze even has their phone number is scary. Where the hell are the GOP congressional members? Where are McCain, the simpering senator from Utah that swore he was conservative, lindsey Graham, and the Bushes,and hell where are any of them.

Seems we've got the equivalent of Hessians right here and right now. How the hell are mercs allowed to operate against American citizens on American soil?

Who the hell authorized them and approved payment?

The key to the next election may well hinge upon the answers.

McGee and Squantos, you guys hearing any scuttlebutt about this?

I bet Reid has been asking for some foreign aid, such as South African ex military.

Be interesting to be an employee at McCarran airport and to see how many military looking guys are flying in all of a sudden.

The LVPD SWAT guys I do not think want to be a part of this anymore, especially knowing the repercussions that will follow them and their family for many years.

Reid will get foreign troops, heck I would not be surprised if the Mexican Army starts showing up.

A few years a go, I commented that the rise of merc’s being used by the US fedgov in Iraq was a very bad thing. Got shouted down.

Yet here, again, we have a mercs getting ready to kill.

Full disclosure, I think Bundy is a nut. But nothing he did merits an armed response.

Thank you for bringing this up. I have been wondering who the guys in camo are for a couple of days.

Sorry to say I have not..... Been on the road for past few months and just got back so will dig and share what news I can. Possible these sorts you described were “friendly nation” LEO/FLEA trainees at FLETC West and in ride along training status. They shouldn’t have been armed if they were there.

That scenario was a two pound press on a 3 pound trigger IMHO. .....

Give me a day or so to ask around.

Hope yer well, stay safe !
