My question.... why the fook does the BLM have swat team and snipers and armed "cops" with dogs?

For 20 years either a postman or a guy in a suit, armed with pen and paper, told a old rancher to round up his cows and move along. He didnt. Now they have his attention. Might be overkill though.

B. CHRISTOPHER AGEE - APRIL 11, 2014

As a family in Clark County, Nev. continues to face an onslaught of heavily armed federal agents determined to kick them off of their ranch, reports have surfaced that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid might be behind the entire ordeal.

The ranch, which has been in Cliven Bundy’s family for more than a century, is ground zero for a growing showdown between federal authorities and individual rights activists. Despite attempting to silence protesters by limiting them to so-called “First Amendment areas,” law enforcement personnel, legislators, and militia members are heading to the site in droves to express their outrage over the Bureau of Land Management’s show of force.


Send a message directly to the BLM by adding your name to our important petition!

SIGN THE PETITION

In an apparent effort to cover its tracks, the BLM has reportedly removed documents from its website showing that the move to kick the Bundys and their cattle off of the land was at least in part due to the fact that their presence impeded development of solar energy on the land.

Reid and his eldest son, reports indicate, were integral in the support and/or implementation of a $5 billion solar plant being built in the county by a Chinese company.

Officially, the federal agency has suggested they are only after Bundy because his cattle are a threat to an endangered species of tortoise. That narrative, however, fell apart in the opinion of many critics when it was revealed the agency itself has engaged in the widespread slaughter of the animal.

The recent allegations of Reid’s hand in the Bundy attack are bolstered by the fact that his former senior adviser also served as the director of the BLM. According to reports, Reid successfully redrew the endangered tortoise’s protected habitat to benefit a donor, indicating his concern is more about his political and financial future than the well-being of this reptile.

As Bundy confirmed, he is far from the only rancher intimidated by the BLM. He is, however, the last one left fighting. According to a statement he made recently, there were 52 other ranchers in the vicinity of his property at one point – and they are all gone.

SIGN THE PETITION

He has promised to continue fighting for his right; and, thankfully for his family, plenty of other Americans are joining in the cause, and you can too Like the page!

I originally thought about posting this thread in the 2nd Amendment forum. But I then remembered the item below and so I then posted it in the General Discussion Forum. Also, before I posted it in the General Discussion Forum, I used the search function(to see if it had been previously posted) for "Bundy" & "tortoise" and got zip on both items as it pertains to this event. I don't know what is wrong with the search function, but it sure as the heck does not work very well---if at all.

Reminder about this forum.
Please keep in mind this forum is our 2nd Amendment forum meaning all conversations here should be focused on legal and political issues with respect to our 2nd amendment rights. It has never been an open political forum for all things political. I've re-worded the title of the forum to be a little more clear with this concept. The description remains the same. Thanks.
