Bundy owns 160 acres. He believes he has a right to run his cattle on hundreds of thousands of acres of land he doesn’t own. He did so for over 20 years without paying grazing fees.
BLM fees this year, BTW, are $1.35/month, as compared to generally over $20/month on private land. Or $16.20/year versus upwards of $250.
AFAIK, nobody is trying to take land Bundy owns. There was an abortive attempt to remove his cattle from land he didn’t own.
If any other landowner tried to remove trespassing cattle from his property, would you object?
Well all I can say is you must be seeing different stories than I saw. because the ones I saw all said how he lost the case and his fees were around $1,000,000 and the Feds wanted his land. They killed many of his cattle; used some for target practice.
They already have his neighbors. All for a solar project his Harry Reids son runs.
