A deal has been reached between Bundy family leaders and the Bureau of Land Management, but not without some very tense moments.
Armed Bundy family leaders met with BLM officers Saturday afternoon in Mesquite to discuss the fate of the Bundy's cattle that the feds removed from BLM land, over the past week.
Under the deal the cattle were released from a holding area near Mesquite, back onto the federal lands they were removed from.
However, according to the BLM, the deal does not absolve Bundy from any of the fees he owes for having the animals there in the first place.
Rancher Cliven Bundy is not describing it as a deal, but as the American citizens taking back the cattle.
"There is no deal here. The citizens of America and Clark County went and took their cattle. There was no negotiations. They took these cattle. They are in possession of these cattle and I expect them to come home soon," Bundy said.

Man Brock I don't like this!- Maybe I'm just a pessimist , BUT The Feds NEVER give up this easy,and This was WAY to easy . The feds are NEVER smart and never quit without bloodshed. Why do I get that nasty old "AMBUSH" feelin'??----Ray
ReplyDeleteReally and I was surprised when they returned the cattle that they had taken already.
DeleteAnyone who thinks this is actually over is a bigger idiot then Joe Biden.
ReplyDeleteThe feds will be back. They may wait a bit, try a different approach, maybe
haul Bundy and his clan away in the middle of the night so they can't sound
a call for help but they sure as hell aren't going to allow the people to win.
That sends the WRONG MESSAGE. NOBODY BEATS THE FEDS...EVER.
One way or another, by hook or crook, legal or illegal this man WILL BE CRUCIFIED to make everyone else reconsider any ideas of resisting.
Then let us start harping that if this does indeed happen, it will be the famous line in the sand and I assume those who live near him will take extra precautions now. This needs to be widely talked discussed and not put on the back-burner.
DeleteGood on you, Brock, for keeping close tabs on the situation. Glad to hear that Bundy got the cattle returned. The only explanation I can think of for the feds giving in, is that their mission, in this case, was already accomplished, and nothing more could be "won". That is, I think the feds will throw some punches to "land", and some other punches to distract or condition us for response.
ReplyDeleteI noticed also that, in the report you linked (in the video), one Lauren Rozyla is helping with the feds' disinformation campaign, saying "Bundy's cattle have grazed illegally for twenty years." She's no less culpable than the thugs with the tasers.
And what the hell's a metropolitan police sheriff? Are you a police department or a sheriff's department, mister?
I feel better. But, not better.
