I suggest you read up on this case. Cliven Bundy has never won in a court of law, whether it’s Nevada state or a federal court. He is a law-breaking bigot who has said he doesn’t believe in the legitimacy of the United States government. Either he pays like every other farmer for the right to have his cattle graze on federal protected land or get the freak off. It costs money for the Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management and National Parks Service to manage the lands they’re in charge of. This moocher does not want to pay his fair share. Hell who he thinks repairs the damage done by overgrazing ( the BLM and the NPS, which means us the tax payers). This bigoted old fart only had to pay 1.86 per animal a month or 3348 yearly for his cows.
I agree, but do you think its OK for the Feds to send teams of snipers to kill people merely because of a disputed bill? Do you think its OK for the BLM to steal the cattle and then sell that cattle, even though trespassing does not convey title? The BLM has no legal right to do any of the things it has done.
2 wrongs don't make a right.
The BLM can use the court system just like anyone else. If you owed me $100 do you think it would be OK if I sent snipers to your home and surrounded the place with armed men and then stole your possessions to sell them on the open market without the approval of anyone? The government has to abide by all the laws the citizen does, it doesn't just get to make the rules up as it goes.
The Federal Government is you and me, its not some person who can own things and keep those things away from the citizens of this land.
