........I may be wrong but I think it was “the feds” that provoked it all.........meaning if they hadn’t sent the goon squad in full SWAT gear with Tasors tasoring folks and shoving pregnant women around and instead left it to the local Sheriff Department NONE OF THIS would have happened.
Assistant Sheriff Lomabardo said as much and allegedly made the decision to turn the cattle loose. I don’t think he had to order the BLM boys to leave as burning rubber tire marks to the East are still on the pavement I’m sure.
The sheriff is an astonishing oddity in our political system. Originally, he was the Shire Reeve; as in The Shire Reeve of Nottingham.
