BLM and at least two separate courts have rules that he must remove his cattle from public land. He has failed to do so fro the past 20 years. Someone has to enforce the law. Not sure why the cattle was returned to him. I have not read anything yet that explains that reasoning.EastUS1 said:
Referencing the bizarre Bundy business: What serious "criminal" charges have been brought and prosecuted thus far? Any? Per your last: It would seem the BLM (a presumably infallible government agency) thought it best to return the cattle, apparently even to dangerous, "armed criminals". Why don't you go ask them? It was that august agency (who's insane actions you so heartily applaud) that returned impounded assets to a person who's owed the government funds for decades...and yet this all somehow "makes sense" to you, and you're clearly pleased to thrash cheerleader's pom poms around for them...? Perhaps you should address all concerns about clearly having "no plan" to the appropriate agencies?
The bottom line is whenever brandishing the mechanism of deadly force around: It's always a good plan to have at least some idea of where to draw the line on killing people. Where's your "line"?...Owed funds?...Cattle grazing in the desert?...Racist remarks?...What? Think about that a bit prior to wearing out too many sets of pom poms in favor of heavily armed actions by any agency......
Seems to me that if someone is surrounding them selves with armed personnel and refusing to abide by a court order that would be a good time for an armed response from law enforcement. By the way, if by 'grazing in the desert' you mean grazing on public land with out paying fees in violation of the law and using armed personal to protect his criminal enterprise then yes.
