Nevada ranching family claims victory as government releases cattle (excellent reporting)

BUNKERVILLE, Nevada (Reuters) - U.S. officials ended a stand-off with hundreds of armed protesters in the Nevada desert on Saturday, calling off the government's roundup of cattle it said were illegally grazing on federal land and giving about 300 animals back to the rancher who owned them.

The dispute less than 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas between rancher Cliven Bundy and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management had simmered for days. Bundy had stopped paying fees for grazing his cattle on the government land and officials said he had ignored court orders.

Anti-government groups, right-wing politicians and gun-rights activists camped around Bundy's ranch to support him in a standoff that tapped into long-simmering anger in Nevada and other Western states, where vast tracts of land are owned and governed by federal agencies.

I don’t know what’s going on but it seems like that Yahoo story got crosslinked somewhere in social media and EVERY IGNORANT DUMBA$$ LIB has suddenly shown an interest in commenting on a situation they know nothing about.

Pretty pathetic. I went to DU to see what, if anything, had been discussed there. Pathetic, too.

This isn’t over. The Left believes it has the rule of law and truly believes their beloved puppet is the ‘reasonable’ one in this.

I fully expect the MSM come Monday morning to be portraying the ‘radical right’ as I fully expected them to do.

I also fully expect the drive for renewed emphasis on disarming Americans to get stronger.

I repeat: This is not over...

The Federal government never retreats.

Have you seen the war at our border? We have surrendered to that invasion force.

"Now I discover from the posted article that Jones dumped FR and garnered all praise to himself, it appears"

Yep I heard them claiming it all day on their live feed, without attribution.

Unacceptable.

They’re not “Anti-government groups”. They’re anti CORRUPT government groups.

I love the ‘body language’ of the two groups. All those Billy Badass fedcoats hunkered and huddled at the sight of wild housewives and flyover Joes.

Now, where was that ‘free speech area’ again sugar?

Who are these BLM agents? Most liberals are wussies, and for other reasons I tend to doubt these agents are all a bunch of liberals in the usual sense of the term. Seriously misguided law and order types with fairly low critical thinking scores I guess.

Either way, they've been taught a lesson in the best way possible. Thankfully they didn't get jittery and light up bystanders and each other.

“Get a GD supervisor on the f****** radio and ask them WTF are we supposed to do now?

Beyond the “WTF does The Park Service have a SWAT TEAM?!”, they are trained to deal quickly with one or two untrained rogues.

In this situation, they are out-numbered about 10-1, and many of the protestors are not only armed and military-trained (Note the Navy Seals flag?), but they surround the teams on three sides, and from the high ground, with the only egress deeper into an open desert wash.
