This Incredible New Footage Shows How Close Bundy Standoff Came To A Massacre

The inside story of how one New Yorker may have kept the Bundy protestors from a bloody end

Documentary filmmaker Dennis Michael Lynch was at the Bundy Ranch front line and has never seen that type of force at the border where drugs and people are routinely smuggled across.

Right. My dad taught us boys how to do the sneak and get close enough that if you are shooting +200 yards ya aint learned a GD thing. I have never hunted for sport. And I don’t waste meat. Unless the jackboots are wearing kevlar sunglasses die MF’s die.

That has changed. BLM now says it's in excess of $500 Million. Fines.

Where did you stumble across this number?

If the shooting had started at that pen, it would have been the Federal Officers who were going to be on the very short end of the stick...and they knew it.

That's why they caved.

Tactically, the Bundys and their supporters surprised the Federal Officers. They did not expect the protestors, particularly all of those well armed militia protestors, to come to them.

When they did, the protestors did some very key things, and were probably doing so as a result of their militia support,, many of who are former military.

Notice on the highway that the supporters placed fire support on the bridge with over watch positions on the Federal holding pen.

This was on the interstate highway. And there were several such shooters up there.

Notice how almost all of the Federal armed officers, who were also heavily armed, were behind several BLM SUVs near the gate:

That position was being flanked on both sides by armed protestors, was being approached directly by a large group of armed protestors to their front.

The position of the federal officers was untenable. They had their own binoculars and they knew what was happening. I also believe most of them did not want to be involved with a fire fight with American citizens over a bunch of cattle and tortoises.

What prevented a slaughter was the commitment and determination of the Bundys and their supporters, and the fact that they were as well armed as the Federal officers and significantly more numerous.

As with almost all situations, being strongly and well armed is a tactic that prevents violence...as it did in this case.

Ideally they’d be relieved of their taxpayer-funded equipment and sent back into town in their boos and underwear.

Which is why The Won is doing everything he can to ensure that this country, as a nation, is neither strong nor well-armed.

Congratulations on getting a job in King Simba's Murica. When did you start working for the government statistics office?

Yeah...that and not living long enough to get to spend their big government TSP and retirement plans. These tyrants and their relatives have to live among us and need to keep that in mind should they decide to fire upon the American citizenry. They need to start thinking about what’s right and not “just following orders”.

And, with choppers and drones to test out the coordinated effort. This is a test case.

Sand and reliability. The SKS is an excellent rifle, as is the AK.

“Crap! I watched about 20 minutes and then paused it. When I went to start it up again it went back to the beginning.”

I hear that happens a lot with porn videos, too.
