I would be more inclined to look at their issue by a peaceful protest without guns.

I would be more inclined to arrrest the protesters, then look into the reasons why they are so upset. If we refuse to look at grievences, simply because the grievences weren't presented in a lawful, orderly fashion, nothing wrong would change. Arrest the protesters, look into the claims.Originally posted by tropicalshox View PostThere are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.

The only times I knew about it, guns were involved. The incident with Bundy's father and some place out West that land management officals had their homes shot at.In the fast laneComment

I think that's the issue. The peaceful stuff doesn't get anyone's attention to look into the issue.Originally posted by tropicalshox View Post

If this had been a black man, with an extensive criminal background, shot by government agents at a roadblock it would be a media circus! There would be Hollywood actors, professional athletes, politicians and activist leaders in front of every microphone they could find! There would be riots in the streets. But that's not what is happening! This was a white rancher standing up to a tyrannical government agency shot dead in the street. By all accounts he was a good man, husband, father and foster parent who refused to allow his government to run fellow ranchers from their land.
Where are the cries for justice? Where are the riots?Comment

I've only heard one side of the story, but if that's the whole truth, it's indefensible.Originally posted by pinstripers View PostLivin the dreamComment

There is some truth to it. I've also read about it. I will try to find a more unbiased link.

I have close relatives that live in rural Alaska, including immediate family. Everything runs through the BLM. Everything. After the homestead act, the remaining land was divied up between the state, federal, and Native governments. The native and federal govt's chose first and the rest went to the state. Both were allotted so many acres and grabbed something like 30% more than they were supposed to. Now they have to turn that extra back to the people and they have been doing it very quietly through small auctions.

The problem with identifying the problems within the BLM is that, on the whole, the BLM does not intrude on that many people's lives. And most of the people that they plod over are conservative landowners, that when they do complain, are labeled kooks. Some are, most aren't. So, we simply ignore the cries of these right wing "kooks" BLM policies stay in place. They have, however, pissed off the left at times, callously slaughtering wild horses pisses off the left, but those actions are somewhat rare.There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.

Since a good part of the discussion on this thread centered around my incorrect use of the jack Mormons (who are actually the Fundamental Later Day Saints) and their connection to LeVoy Finnicum (since he lived in Hildale, Arizona area) and the Bundy clan, I thought I would share this article.
