BLM stand-off in Nevada...close to 'war' or 'Range War'

[Hmac]

The issue is the BLM who makes the law. If you disagree, hopefully you'll get on the list of people the federal government decides to screw over.

Extraordinarily unlikely. And way, way down on the list of things for me to feel outrage about.

I guess. I don't understand all the laws regarding using the land obviously.. but I did see that at least at one point it wasn't outlandish at all to think that someones cows could just roam around.(you had to fence your stuff if you wanted to keep them out, in fact.) I do understand that they could do damage if there were too many trampling a small area too, but I also tend to believe that paying the ''to use fees'' probably just allows him to do more damage ''officially like'' with the money collected really not likely to be used to promote the future of the same thing being feasable.

good thing we got rid of all those bison so having cows out and about can seem weird.

heres my disclaimer: yeah I don't know the guy and I don't know everything about him or everything about this deal. I just think that some guy being painted up as ''the enemy'' for doing ''normal freedom stuff'' is a little weird. so if he really is the horrible fellow I'm supposed to believe he is, I guess I should have just believed what I was told.

The guy's been to court over this already and was found to be grazing his cattle illegally on government land without paying the grazing fees that everyone else was paying. Very clear violation of the law. You can argue the fairness of the law, or you can argue the WTF? factor of the BLM owning 75% of the land in Nevada, but you can't really argue that Bundy was breaking the law.

If you want to be outraged over the BLM, be outraged over the land-grab in Texas. There, the BLM is grabbing up land that is actually deeded, with the grabbees actually having paid taxes on the land for decades. Unlike Bundy, who never even contended that he owned the land, only that he should be able to graze it for free.

Not just grazing fees. They demanded he reduce his herd from 900 to 150. He's the last cattle rancher in the county. Want to know why? The BLM put the other 52 RANCHERS OUT OF BUSINESS.

Did those other 52 ranchers go under because like Bundy, they stopped getting their .gov subsidy / handout… you know- the kind of thing Bundy's pointing out as the reason the Negro's have it so bad???

If Bundy wasn't cherry-picked by the feds to be an example, it was a remarkable 'fortune' on their part, given the underlying facts, and his 'personality'.

Feel free to lead the charge, or just patronize those that are. I don't see that you're bringing forth anything to be outraged about.
