Wednesday, things intensified as family members and protesters saw a BLM convoy with dump trucks and backhoes. The family became suspicious that there may be dead cattle in the dump truck or that the feds were burying cattle after killing them during capture, so they stopped the convoy. The feds became combative and began to assault the protestors, throwing a 57-year-old woman who is a Bundy family member that is recovering from cancer to the ground. When another family member came to her aid he was tazed. A pregnant woman was also attacked by a K-9 during the altercation. The protestors stood their ground and refused to be intimidated. Finally, the BLM retreated when it became clear that the protestors were not going to stand down.

Beneficial use
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beneficial use is a legal term describing a person's right to enjoy the benefits of specific property, especially a view or access to light, air, or water, even though title to that property is held by another person. [1] This may also be termed "beneficial enjoyment". Black's Law Dictionary (2nd Pocket ed. 2001 pg. 236.
Compare this with a "beneficial interest", where a beneficiary has an interest in a thing ("res" Res (disambiguation)) (such as a trust or estate) but does not own the underlying property. Black's Law Dictionary (2nd Pocket ed. 2001 pg. 64. This usually entitles the beneficiary to some of the income from the underlying property.
Also, compare this to beneficial owner where specific property rights ("use and title") in equity belong to a person even though legal title of the property belongs to another person. Black's Law Dictionary (2nd Pocket ed. 2001 pg. 508.

There was another thread on this already. The man had no right to let his cattle graze on that land because he stopped paying grazing fees back in the 90's. Just another deadbeat crying because he isn't allowed to break the law.
breach of the peace n. any act which disturbs the public or even one person. It can include almost any criminal act causing fear or attempting intimidation, such as displaying a pistol or shouting inappropriately.
gestapo like treatment of the protestors?

As I understand it, the family has grazed livestock on the land as far back as the 1870's well before eminent domain was used (abused) to declare open rangeland "public" land - the rancher refuses to pay for what he considers his rightful use of the fodder on that land.
I can certainly say agree or disagree with the ranchers plight but do you take no offense at the Federal tactics of abridging 1st amendment rights along with gestapo like treatment of the protestors?
May eminent domain visit you soon since it is after all the law as you put it - go smiling!

He still had to pay grazing fees which he didn't do.

Federal land ownership began when the original 13 states ceded their “western”
lands (between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River) to the central
government between 1781 and 1802. Substantial land acquisition in North America
via treaties and purchases began with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and culminated
with the purchase of Alaska in 1867. In total, the federal government acquired 1.8
billion acres in North America.
=Title IV: Range Management= - Requires the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior to study the value of grazing on the lands under their jurisdiction in the 11 Western States with a view to establishing a fee for domestic livestock grazing on such lands.
Specifies a formula for the determination of grazing fees.
Directs that 50 percent of all moneys received as fees for grazing domestic livestock on public lands and on lands in the National Forest System be credited to a separate account in the United States Treasury for the purpose of range rehabilitation, protection, and improvement.
Places a ten year limit on permits and leases for domestic livestock grazing. Grants to a holder of an expiring permit or lease first priority for receipt of the new permit or lease. Requires that all grazing permits and leases incorporate an allotment management plan.
Directs the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture to establish at least one grazing advisory board for each Bureau of Land Management district office and National Forest headquarters office in the western States having jurisdiction over more than 5,000 acres of land subject to commercial livestock grazing.
(a) Nothing in this Act, or in any amendment made by this Act [see Short Title note above], shall be construed as terminating any valid lease, permit, patent, right-of-way, or other land use right or authorization existing on the date of approval of this Act [Oct. 21, 1976].

If "ownership" is your supporting ideal then why isn't the rancher being forced to pay the native Indian tribe? Just how do you figure the federal government owns it? because they said so in 1946 or so?
