Where’s Tom Horn (stock detective) when you need him?
This sounds like the kind of intimidation 0bama did when he had armed escorts for abortionists.
He’s trying to paint the good guys as wackos.
They need to post deputies for all of the cattle guards out in the west too. Some of them are very isolated.
Is this the county where the Imus ranch is located?
The vassals need to be disarmed,We need gun control, the wardens and employees of the tyrannical police state benevolent government need to be heavily armed in case someone should happen to disagree with them.
Is this a border county or a route used by illegals?
Probably to protect them from Apache Indian attack!!! Those Wascally Indians...
Meanwhile, the ranchers are left swinging in the wind with even less protection (with the deputies being tied up being bodyguards)while these inspectors get armed escorts.
Typical government response. Protect itself, and screw the people.
Buried way down in the article it finally gets to who the threat is. Illegal aliens.
"Our concern is if we interrupt any [illegal] activity," Gomez said. "I really care about [the inspectors]. I don't want anything to happen to them."
Yes, we have to protect those inspectors who go out there once a year. Tough luck for the ranchers and others who live there year around.
"We're pushing for it so that it's not going to be just this year," he said. "We'd like to see it until activity settles down a little bit along the border area."
With no action from the 0bammy Feds to secure the border and active opposition from them against the states securing their borders when will that activity "settle down a little bit?"
What is this? According to the three monkeys (Obastard, Reid, and Pelosi) in Washington, there is no problem with illegal immigration.
