On a side note...does anyone recall a time in US history where a stand like this has been successful? I cant think of one...
Guess civil rights marches, school integration, Rosa Parks, Vietnam protests don't fit.
Ya but im talking with threat of armed violence vs threat of armed violence....

Oh, there will be plenty of coverage if what I think is going to happen, happens. The only way this will head south is if the government has some plants in the crowd supporting the rancher.

I support freedom, I do not support Bundy or his multi-millionaire rancher family. Pretty easy to get rich when you don't pay for feed like everyone else.

Even more profound is those cases were unarmed citizens versus armed feds. Enough voices can make a difference. That is not happening much anymore though.

These men and women are standing for exactly what our founding fathers intended. They are standing between tyranny and freedom.

Guaranteed they didnt back off because of the militias. 1 It was headed by Reid, and he doesnt want public responsibility for civilian bloodshed, they would make him resign office. 2 The family happened to be named Bundy, and happens to be a wealthy family with ties to others, perhaps we paid the militias under the counter to come and pay the feds a visit(not soemthing the media will cover). 3 Strong possibility it was a left hand right hand media event beta test, and possibly it didnt work out cus their was too much public attention and armed forces there to battle the feds. 4 They wanted the land for China, or globalist solar panels etc, with the USG everything is plotted out and authorized in due time maybe making this a possible test run. 5 If it had a bad ending the public would go ballistic over civilian bloodshed on air.

His family GAVE that land to Nevada so they could have WATER. His family was intern given grazing and water rights for his cattle FOREVER!!! as a thank you for supporting their state. Who would do that today? Even the Federal government recognized this fact many years ago. The government now only wants to make up lies so they can steal this land for their own benefit, from Nevada and him.
Get your facts straight!!!

We are talking about grazing cattle on public land.
I believe that "public land" was once private land, Bundys, correct? It was "rezoned" (stolen) by the government, and then said government started demanding he make payments to them to use his own land.
The issue here is not as superficial as some of you are making it out to be. There is some depth here, and take off the top layer and youll see this is not about cattle grazing, its about stemming corruption and slapping back the over-reaching hand of the rogue government regime that claims to have power over The People.
This is about The People making a stand against that corruption.
I respect all those there making a stand for freedom, especially so up against armed goons with no guarantee of safety.
