I believe the cattle have been returned since this was written.
bttt
I bet if the truth about the Harry Reid connection did not come out as it did... that the government would have not quit as they did.
And that right there is the news of the decade.
Their only alternative was to stay and die, without support from the County or the State.
Two of them were right here on FR, spinning for days..
Whether Bundy’s cattle were on public land is a separate issue but it provided the pretense to illegally take property and business.
The issue is that a man was almost thrown off his property at gun point and dispossessed of his business at gun point so that another business may benefit.
Without exercising our inherent rights protected by the 2nd Amendment this legally conducted criminality would have succeeded.
If you look past the surface, through the sheen of legality, there is a web of corruption with politicians, judges, administrators, all scratching each others backs.
Everything was “nice and legal”, but it was criminal.
NEVER DISARM.
I spent a couple of hours this evening watching the live recordings that Pete Santilli made out at the Bundy Ranch. When I saw those Rangers taze Ammon Bundy not once, but THREE times, and each time he pulled those things out and kept standing, I couldn’t help thinking that there was a higher power’s hand at work. He reacted as if it was a mere bee sting.
Wasn't long after that, the fed mobsters decided to beat it down the road, as the crowd keep getting bigger...
Wait for the new EPA rules that a new source wetland is all theirs to control. Our homestead will lose about half to the feds. Except, those tough guy Feds will have short lifespans due to the deer flies.
Where were all the other militia members?
If nationwide militias moved en mass to defend overreach...
I guess I’m the only one who thinks the feds won. The state governor chickened out. The sheriff chickened out. They abused protesters. They used attack dogs. They confiscated cattle. They left at a time and place of their choosing.
And they lost?
...and no one really knows the disposition of the confiscated cattle!
Did you see the guy fishing for the handles of which FReepers were heading over?
They will eventually, but for now the cost was too high.
Tortoises! No wait... back taxes! No wait... solar panels!
No wait... nevermind.
Yes..pathetic.
Hadn’t heard this, but your saying so reminds me of the TZ episode, The Dust, which turns on the inexplicable breaking of a “new rope” in an unjust hanging. This changes the mind of the “town boss” and the young chicano convict is reprieved. His father had purchased some “magic dust” from a charlatan under the cynical guarantee that it would prevent the hanging somehow.
Of course, Bundy wouldn’t qualify for this treatment by Serling’s standards, but I guess it shows that all parties are mindful of the extra-ordinary.
“NEVER DISARM.”
Bingo. Without the patriots’ weapons,
...
no fed back-down.
NOW do we get 2A rights? Now do we understand!
