Bunkerville Standoff: The FBI and I agree in our assessment of the Bundys

"She also cited at least four threat assessments that indicated the Bundys likely wouldn't use violence 'would get in your face' but not engage in a shootout, and that the Bureau of Land Management was antagonizing the family 'trying to provoke a conflict'. The threat evaluation were made by the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit, the Southern Nevada Counter Terrorism Unit, the FBI Nevada Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Gold Butte Cattle Impound Risk Assessment and the Bureau of Land Management law enforcement arm between 2011 and 2015."

"OregonLive" story 12/20/2017 on the mistrial declared by US District Judge Gloria Navarro in the third Bunkerville Standoff trial over massive amounts of evidence prosecutors "willfully" withheld from the defense.

In early January 2016 the Oregon Standoff protest began with a lot of drama about "armed militants" and "militia" and an "armed standoff" confusing my mind but a time moved on I came to realize that this protest led by Ammon Bundy and his brother Ryan was totally peaceful in its heart.

It was a protest in Ammon's words to 'love they neighbor' as in Dwight and Steven Hammond, ordered to return to a federal prison to serve out five year mandatory sentences as "terrorists".....

I eventually came to realize that the Bundys talked like Billy Jack, but acted like Martin Luther King or Gandhi.

The federal land policies that have become increasingly repressive in the Western states over the decades are a modern day equivalent of Jim Crow racism and the Republican Party better get its act together to deal with the problem instead of slowly doing what Barack Obama was doing at a more rapid pace.

I found it laughable recently to hear Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke proclaim a victory in President Trump's name...

As a western state deplorable I can attest to the truth of this. The EPA, BLM, USFS, FDA policies are killing our livelihoods and the FBI actually kills some of us, the rest they just railroad into prison. It is simply wrong for the FedGov to be in control of half our land area.
