I agreed with every line except that the last line may be “murder by buracracy”.
This is the prob w/having a gazillion b.s. laws on the books and gov overreach.
Eventually it gets enforced and sometimes folks get killed in the process.
Which is why the ranchers were armed to begin with.
This time it happened when they tried to arrest this group of guys on the way to the “town hall meeting”.
The eco Nazi angle here is serious too. The land is protected because eco Nazis believe nature is more important than people. When they actually get laws on the books and those laws are a big detriment to people’s livelihood, they get upset - the ranchers.
When the ranchers protest, the eco Nazi (Oregon governor) picks up the phone and calls in the old enforcement to enforce that law.
Just like that b*tch saying “We need some muscle over here!”
They have something like a third to a half of the US locked up as ‘federal land’.
If they would open that up to people as they are supposed to, can you imagine in the olden days offering 40 acres and a plow to those who would settle it.
I’d take that over food stamps any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
