“Curious as to how the protest is legal.”
Refer to the 1st amendment. Then compare to Ferguson, Baltimore, etc etc. Your Mileage May Vary.
Out of control alphabet agencies-—BLM, EPA, Forestry, Fish and Wildlife—are taking control of huge swaths of land, even private property owned by farmers and ranchers for decades— and declaring it off limits to human economic activities.
I think we can all agree that nature is a good thing. Parks and bird refuges and hippie hiking trails are nice.
But when the Federal government controls 76% of your county and is throwing humans in jail for engaging in legitimate farming and grazing activities—necessary not only to feed their own families, but to feed the rest of us as well— it’s time to bitch about it.
This is the same Fedgov that condones sanctuary cities, uncontrolled immigration, and Muslim paramilitary camps.
I re-read the 1st amendment. Still can’t find anything about occupying federal land.
It’s fine to agree with them in principle, but it ain’t legal.
