Regardless of what the socialist mouthpiece Cenk Uygur says, the ownership of the land is a red herring. The issue that people have is with the massive armed response by the federal government to COWS MUNCHING GRASS.
By the way, CU debunked nothing.edit on 16-4-2014 by ScientiaFortisDefendit because: (no reason given)
How many Bundy fans are going to take the time to help out any number of over-reactions by Law Enforcement? Do you see the Oathkeepers running off to fight the Albuquerque PD? Or how about running off to stand up for the citizens rights after the Boston bombing?
Defending the Bundys in this case is fighting the wrong fight.
So when are you going to give your house and land back to the American Indians?edit on 16-4-2014 by Mamatus because: added content.
so then the two rich guys start trying to take you to their other friends (BLM and Courts) for judgment because you won't sell and are in their way.

This may come as a shock to you but if you keep trespassing on Federal land even after losing in court and you keep trespassing they will eventually do something about it.

Bundy doesn't own the land. They cannot force you to sell what you do not own. Also he did stop paying grazing fees that is fact.

Facts:
1. In 1870's, Bundy homestead on open high desert with Virgin river frontage.
2. In 1910, state of Nevada formed...Bundy deed their land to the state in return for services (Sheriff protection from "wild west" types). He pays taxes, grazing fees to Nevada.
Don't be re-writing history...especially American history.
You left out a few facts.
3. In the 1990's Bundy stopped paying grazing fees and lied about how many cows he had on the land so the BLM ordered him off the land.
4. In 2012 Bundy contacted the local Sherriff saying that the BLM was stealing his cattle he was then informed it is Federal land the can do what they want with it.
5. Bundy's arguments has already been rejected by two appeals courts.
If you want to start stating fact don't pick and choose from all facts.
Seems like 3,4,5 come from the poisonous fruit of 2...
At the end of the day, his family owned the land until it was bought out from under him
So why would he need to pay to graze on his land that was stolen from him?

Grazing fees are not taxes. All he had to do was let his cattle graze on land that he actually owns then he wouldn't have to pay them. But he expects to graze for free on public land and this won't happen other ranchers have to pay the fees so why should he not have to.

I was mentioning early that I think this has nothing to do with bundy and more that people are angry and just want a location to meet to vent...

No he does not have grazing and water rights his family gave those to the state. If he did legally have these rights then it wouldn't have been thrown out of court.
