I see some people saying it's not the governments land, it's OUR land.
I actually wanted to be on this guy's side at first (Grandpa owned a large cattle ranch) but he's taking advantage of public land and essentially stealing from the state (and that means stealing from YOU). Why would anyone be on his side?
If they were taking HIS land I would be pissed. Not exactly thrilled at the escalation, but highly doubt it would have happened if he had just complied (I know ATS thinks that's a bad word) with the law. Was irritated about the free speech zones and glad to see they've gone away.
The oddity of these comments is that it is acceptable that this land, or any land, be annexed by the federal government at all. This is a Republic and each State is intended to be sovereign. Meaning that if anyone has any right to annex the land it is the State, not the Feds. The Feds are not intended to have this power to begin with. As for law, many of the laws of the federal government weren't intended to be authorized anyhow; the Constitution specifically delegates the responsibility of these types of laws to the sovereign States themselves. We seem to have lost sight of that.

Feds brought in LEOs of some sort, snipers, cowboys, trailers, heavy equipment--and have so far spent a million bucks.
This should have been solved with a court order, one deputy sheriff, and let the state courts take care of it.
Here we have the Police State in action, and the citizens who rightly fear the enlargement of the Police State have decided to take action.

From what I have been able to gather, what you have said is true. But I believe he had a deal with the BLM (or some other government entity), they reneged on that deal and are now forcing him to get off the land.
I don't know all the facts, but I think we can all agree that the way this is being handled is just plain wrong and as another member said, this should be handled by the county Sheriff.edit on 11-4-2014 by sheepslayer247 because: (no reason given)

Oh, so now we can mine for uranium on turtle habitat. Perhaps you can find one conspiracy theory and stick to it. If the land is environmentally sensitive, there will be no mining.

The Sheriff told him two years ago when Bundy called him to report that the BLM was "stealing" his cattle that it was Federal land and they could do what they wanted. This isn't the first time this has taken place between Bundy and the BLM. The Sheriff doesn't want to get mixed up in it because he knows Bundy is in the wrong here. Bundy had plenty of fair warning to move his cattle off the BLM's land and refused to move them now the BLM is taking action. The BLM report that Bundy lied about the size of his herd and is overgrazing the cattle and many of them are close to starving to death.edit on 11-4-2014 by buster2010 because: (no reason given)edit on 11-4-2014 by buster2010 because: (no reason given)

New info coming out that Reid had the tortoise's land boundary redone because of a chinese company wanting to put in a solar panel farm. Still waiting for a better source than info wars to verify it tho.....
“Patriot” citizen militia groups from all over the US — loose organisations deeply mistrustful of central government, many of them dedicated to using weapons to defend their perceived rights to freedom — are warning that the clash in dusty Nevada could become a landmark “liberty” flashpoint.

You may very well be correct. Like I said, I don't know all the facts. But I also do not like the way it's being addressed by the BLM.
It would easily be resolved if the Sheriff stepped in and did his job.

This story made the MSM in Australia today.
The wording of the opening paragraph was typical for News Corp Australia ( a Murdoch company )... emphasis added.

So basically, you ( that's all of us ) have no right to freedom, only the liberties granted by the government. Those sound like fighting words to me.
