Charley Waite: "Well you may not know this, but there's things that gnaw at a man worse than dying." Open Range (2003)
One thing that I noticed during this whole thing was how the Bundy's and group were not asking, they were demanding. This is appropriate stance to take. You can hear this correct attitude specifically stated on the video.
We do not ask usurped entities that are assuming illegal tyrannical powers over us, we demand. We are in the right, we have the proper and legal authority, and we will make demands. We are not asking.
The same approach need to be taken with CongressCritters.
We’ll see how the next confrontation of a similar nature goes. And there will be one somewhere. The feds are not going to become less tyrannical. Just the opposite. History has shown that when tyrants are challenged by the “serfs” they double down. I have no doubt that our “masters” will follow that same template.
Yup. Outstanding video. And all very true.
A good point is made at the end...
Looked like tensions were running about as high as they can get.

First thing I said
They can use that kind of force on us - by Park Rangers for god's sake - but not on murderous foreign narcotics traffickers?
It's a "government" that is at war with the people it supposedly is employed by
won't load... anybody have a direct link??? thxPing for later
The Feds aren’t done with Bundy.
People with that kind of government power and that kind of firepower champ at the bit for a chance to use it all.
What the Feds didn’t get done in the light of day while on camera they will get done in less visible ways.
This is the sort of thing that will make rural America a fertile ground for recruiting by an al-Qaeda type of group.
?? Tell me Boris, vat was secret weapon that BLM vas holding back ??
The amount of money that the BLM claims the Bundy’s owe to the US Government are at maximum $ 1 million.
If this is the case, it seriously undermines the BLM position that this is about protecting Tortoises of collecting back fines.
At any rate, the footage shows that the BLM is totally out of control of it's para military trained rangers who were poised to start firing on their fellow Americans for the most flimsy of reasons.
It is also scary when a well connected (to Harry Reid) government official says that law abiding American citizens who have traveled to exercise they First Amendment rights and to petition their Government to address a grievance should be told that they be prepared for their funerals.
This event suggests that the Federal Government and the BLM came to Nevada looking for trouble and were seriously instigating a deadly confrontation with American citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.
While I am sympathetic to fact the BLM Rangers are responsible for investigating illegal pot farms on BLM lands and have to deal with highly armed, violent Drug Cartel members and may have a need for weapons to protect themselves, the footage here shows that these people seriously exceeded their authority and their mandate for land management with this para military operation against honest and innocent Americans.
This event goes way past even legitimate law enforcement procedures and SWAT tactics against hardened criminals The BLM Brown Shirts were outfitted for war against their fellow Americans and were obviously more than willing and at the very edge of opening fire. They had an entire ridgeline of snipers deployed agains non violent protesters for gosh sakes.
Things have deteriorated to the point I no longer recognize this country as the one I grew up in or even lived in a few short years ago.
America has indeed been fundamentally changed and it is change we will come to regret
