If the sheriff had done his job and arrested the federal cattle ranchers there would have been no need to negotiate the return of this stolen property.
I agree 100%. Just because the government owns land in the sheriff’s county, doesn’t give the federal government the right to violate the rights of a county resident. It is the duty of the sheriff to stand between the county resident and Big Government. Instead, this sheriff swallowed the federal government’s line instead of siding with a lifetime, honest, common man cattle rancher in his county. Then after the Militia turned the BLM around, the sheriff gets out in front of the cameras and tries to pretend he had something to do with it. After all the decades of Western grazing on marginal land, it should have been evident to the sheriff that there was nefarious action afoot. Now we know the land grab was a contrived action instigated by the Weasel with a corrupt profit motive.
f the sheriff had done his job He is doing his job. He is the Sheriff of Clark County, elected by the voters of Las Vegas and controlled by the power brokers thereof including Harry Reid. They want the ranchers gone in order to get their water rights and the BLM is doing their bidding
