Not only that, but where was their sense of humanity during all this? Were they actually having not a single questionable thought walking through their consciences as they aimed sniper rifles at Americans with cameras? As they were chasing someone else’s cattle to death with helicopters?

Cliven Bundy is the safest man in Nevada. The feds have been warned by very serious people that if he gets heartburn the feds will answer for it and not just in Court.

I am very concerned that some nut job liptard will take a shot at the Bundy’s.

one thing the article missed was the abomination of a “First Amendment Zone” the feds set up for protestors. Overbearing and heavy handed, this was clearly over the top in combination with the other abuses the feds were involved with. Some have mentioned an ‘American Spring’ - had the feds not backed down it would have started in Nevada (and may well have anyway)

Many, many patriots are going to die because, at first, they will trust that LEOs and the US military will ‘do the right thing’.

LEOs and the military are selected and trained by the same people who run government schools and prestigious universities. It is foolish to expect morality from amoral selection, education and training.

Then if they can’t rely on morality, they should be made to rely on fear of the outcome of their immorality.
As in, my post #237.

Interesting. Compensation will be in excess of just replacement. He's owed a full year of lost production, as well...not to mention general working fees and his family's anguish, etc.

Dingy MUST be investigated on this, as well.

Two of them were right here on FR, spinning for days..”

Yep.

But part of the problem is the lack of social disapprobation of perps in general. There was a time when even being a friend or relative of a disgraced government apparatchik would lead to the the loss of friendships and opportunity. Now evil-doers and their posse become celebrities making money from appearance fees.

The death penalty for government corruption is long overdue.

They will wait until all the militia members return home... then they will pounce in the middle of the night.

That was my first thought when I heard the BLM backed off.

I have zero trust in ANY Government employee. They now think they are our betters. They pranced around out there in their pretend military uniforms and fancy weapons and when the focus of their ire not only stood his ground but had thousands of allies show up they made a tactical retreat.

The Government workers are now mad that we serfs did not cower to them and they will take the cowards way out. They will wait several days for things to cool down and they will strike with a viscous punch. I believe they now want blood since citizens stood up to them and they were told that they are not our bosses.

I am fearful they will strike the home and try to kill the father and son as a minimum to show everybody who the new rulers are in our nation. Government employees want to make sure the real citizens of our country are taught a proper lesson in our new Communism.

imminent domain

Sigh. It's 'eminent' domain. This is a great piece otherwise and to educate people about this particular danger it would have been nice for either the writer or his editor to call it by the correct name.

We need someone with skills to photoshop Neil Kornze’s face over the big hair, alien expert. The line above his face to say: Cattle Mutalations? and under his face: BLM

“The dog lunged at Ammon Bundy, who kicked it in the head.”

Good for Ammon, I did not see that happen in the videos I watched. The way the BLM thugs acted, I was perversely hoping that someone would beat the $h!t out of one of them. You just have to wonder who would take a job that involved abusing your fellow citizens. Oh, wait, we have the local cops and sheriff’s deputies who do that routinely.

There needs to be a lawsuit to expose the inequity in federal land “ownership” amongst the states. A court needs to hear why the feds can own as much as 85% of one state but less than a half a percent of another.

Millions of the People are following this situation. I do NOT want to see no killing because innocents then become targets. Once the killing starts it will be difficult to stop and our government knows such, I hope. They would be wiser to completely back off and NOT drench their hands in anyone's blood. Many Millions of the People are watching. Whether this will come to pass, I do NOT know.

There was some guy spinning on a thread last night. I accused him of working at the BLM. He likely does.
