God Bless every man and woman that personally appeared in Clark County, Nevada in opposition to what has become a tyranny. You have given us hope that our America can and will be restored. You are an example of what has to be done. God Bless America. God Bless Our Republic./p>

We need congressional hearings. What committee has oversight authority over the BLM?

Nevada Highway Patrol came in when the protest shut down the I-15 freeway yesterday. They were around the area and staying out of the way. Local police departments sent water, ice and food anonymously out to the encampments near Bundy's ranch. I think, as others have already said here, that the local and state police told the Federales they were on their own if they wanted to start spilling blood.

I watched video at Pete Santilli's site yesterday for hours. There was a lot of dead air, but in between, there was a lot of good information. Worth giving up some of my Saturday to figure out what was going on. You didn't see much about this later, but there were some 40 or so cowboys who trucked their ponies in from all over. They were saddled up, armed, and ready to ride out to get the cattle back themselves. They were up hidden in the ridge line. I'm sure the Feds knew they were there, but those on the ground didn't see them until after the Sheriff made his announcement that the BLM was going to leave the area. Then the cowboys (and cowgirls) came riding down off the ridge line and eventually rode out to collect the cattle where the Feds had them penned up... gave me goosebumps to see that.

That’s just it. There have been lawsuits upon lawsuits upon lawsuits. Eventually, ranchers go broke going to court and they give up. That was why Bundy originally quit paying the BLM. He said, “Why should I pay these guys to run me out of business and off my land?” And as GilesB mentioned here (thank you, Giles, by the way), once you peel back the layers of the onion, the Feds DO NOT OWN this land. They were originally paid to “manage” the land, which they stopped doing once their intention was to take it.

That is awesome!! I had not seen that! That altercation around 2:00 minute mark was Ammon Bundy (in the black shirt). He’s the son who got tased the other day. He’s my hero.

Many Freepers were against supporting these people defending themselves from the fascist government trying to take peoples property...

Shame on all of them....

I read somewhere that the county had to send in SWAT teams to insure the safe retreat of the Feds.......

As Jefferson stated, “When the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people you have liberty”...

Now everyone should understand why they want to take our firearms.

It is time to question the loyalty of law enforcement. Is it to the citizens or to government.

——The feds have stolen 352 head of cattle——

At last an exact number.

Pro Bundy Pro America sources round it up to 400

Anti Bundy sources round it down to 300 (Reuters)

Thanks. That added a completely new dimension to my appreciation of this event. The young Bundy has more ability, guts, moral courage and leadership than any stack of politicians. The people who stood with him deserve credit for their own courage.

That fed Bundy was talking to was contract. Had to be. He had the look. Simply a hired assassin who decided he did not have the will to kill other Americans. His IQ could go up 50 points if he would turn his hat around and go on the other side of the fence.

One of our resident geniuses with a computer needs to zoom in and get as detailed a face shot on the hired guns from the feds as possible though and post them prominently. We will see some of these people again. They are enemies of the people. They have all made a bad choice but they can change that and get on the right side of right and wrong.

Those are some lean junk yard looking cattle and those ain’t no drugstore cowboys. I think the feds ran up against some people with nothing to lose. I wonder if that guy standing on the fence wondered if he would get one in the back?

The Clark County Commissioners, Reid and his gang of thugs are in this up to their collective eyeballs. Imagine, selling public property for 1/6th of its value in a no bid sale? I saw the same thing tried somewhere else. They almost got away with it too. Just a hand full of people and one gutsy small town reporter stopped it.

No it's not "a weird little battle" as you described it.

This is not complex.

The GD feds and BLM and the rest of these government hired guns should be helping farmers and ranchers, by bringing in seed, water whenever possible and actually help us Americans who produce things we eat and use.

The government BLM, Rangers and the rest should not running around with sidearms, AR15's, tasers, dogs in brand new tax paid 4x4, while making Americans trespassers on their own GD soil. That's bull shit no matter how you dice it up.

And most should understand there are people out here willing to fight them and die if necessary to push these arrogant controlling government assholes back to the east coast.

The Feds should also be assisting these farmers and ranchers in keeping drug cartels, coyotes and illegal border runners OFF THEIR LANDS. Ranchers are being killed on our borders while working their own property and these fed bastards just look the other way, or worse, they HELP ARM THEM (hello Fast & Furious).

“And they lost?”

Yes, they lost. They capitulated. They surrendered. And it is not over for them. There will be repurcussions FOR FREEDOM that are long lasting as a result of this evil attempt of the Feds to take what was not, is not theirs. Some 5,000 armed freedom lovers were there, and more are arriving daily, even after the Feds surrendered and left.

Yes, the Feds lost this battle. There may be more...more for the Feds to lose. We the people must stand together.

Are more Patriots arriving at the Bundy ranch? News to me.

I hope so. The more the better.
