Feds: Safety concerns led to Nevada cow release

Federal land managers say "escalating tensions" led them to release all 400 or so head of cattle rounded up on public land in southern Nevada from a rancher who has refused to recognize their authority.

"Based on information about conditions on the ground and in consultation with law enforcement, we have made a decision to conclude the cattle gather because of our serious concerns about the safety of employees and members of the public," Kornze said in a statement.

Hundreds of states' rights protesters, including militia members, showed up at corrals outside Mesquite to demand the animals' return to rancher Cliven Bundy. Some protesters were armed with handguns and rifles at the corrals and at an earlier nearby rally.

Las Vegas Police Lt. Dan Zehnder said the showdown was resolved with no injuries and no violence. Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie was able to negotiate a resolution after talking with Bundy, he said.

BS...it was the fact that Harry Reid’s land grab was exposed and the best option was for them to pull back before it gained traction with the regular MSM.

“More like the safety of harry reid and the democrats in the mid term.”

Absolutely.

The MSM probably breathed a sigh of relief also because the Progressive-Democrat shills that infest it would have been luridly exposed.

IMHO

Yes, the weasel's cover was blown, but most important the Commies met the Cowboys and the Cowboys had guns. Yes, guns, the great equalizer. They have an amazing way of establishing civility, rationality, and common sense to a situation. This exercise vividly points out why the Commies want to take all the guns.

Either that or while they were rustling cattle, one of the BLM thugs took a good look around, turned to the other one and said "You know if that militia we saw earlier caught us doing this out here, they could shoot us, bury us and no one would ever know."

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Most of my old crew would have bucked if sent out on a job like this. Wonder if blue flu was beginning to spread?

This morning, I am enjoying the most delicious meal of crow imaginable.

My comment about the militia being baited up by the Regime was wrong.

Sometimes, it is nice to be wrong.

PS Once the Internet revealed the facts, the cat was out of the bag. Lamestream media not has a lower share of ad revenues than the Internet. That tells me where the public goes for data.

The Presstitutes will fight it out with the bridge trolls when their pay checks stop.

More popcorn, please!

;-)

"Republican Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval....criticized the agency for creating "an atmosphere of intimidation" and trying to confine protesters to a fenced-in "First Amendment area" well away from the sprawling roundup area."

Hats off to the patriots who proved that the first and second amendments apply beyond corral fences established by government tyrants.

For me, it has reached the point that I believe NOTHING that comes out of any agency of this administration. Their stated reasons for doing what they do is rarely proved right.

Freedom loving Americans are the happiest.

Immediately behind us is the SPLC.. in the mail already are their scary fund-raising letters describing Bundy and the "militia" as racists, xenophobes, homophobes, Nazis, KKK, white supremacists . . . .

Fear of another Ruby Ridge in an election year over a scandal Harry Reid is involved in Up to his eyeballs is more likely the reason. Dead bodies of American Patriots fighting against Massive corruption by the Government does not make good campaign strategy

What struck me was that these were bureaucrats using their pens and phones to write new rules outside the rule of law.
