Agreed, hence Reid's after the pull-back claims that the Rancher, AND the rest of the peaceful protester, are domestic terrorists, armed with automatic weapons and willing to use the women & children there as "human shields."
My guess is that Reid, his demon-spawn children, and/or Reid's puppet masters, stand to gain a lot of money if they take that land, and Reid wants them out of the way.

The Bundy ranch is in the ‘mitigation’ zone where Reid & Co and Noble Energy have agreed to ‘protect’ in exchange for building a massive solar farm 150 miles away.
Bundy found himself in the middle of the Reid Syndicate’s moving cookie jar. Therefore the assassination plot. Dang Domestic American Terrorists refused to be assassinated: how unpatriotic is THAT? /s
