Asking a government entity with no law enforcement authority to be disarmed is not an unreasonable request, in my opinion.
The BLM Office of Law Enforcement & Security, headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a federal law enforcement agency of the U.S. government.
BLM Law Enforcement Rangers and Special Agents make up the law enforcement capability of the BLM. Rangers and Special Agents are located in each of the western states that have BLM lands. Law Enforcement Rangers make up the uniformed high visibility enforcement of laws. Special Agents investigate crimes against property, visitors and employees.
The Secretary may authorize Federal personnel or appropriate local officials to carry out his law enforcement responsibilities with respect to the public lands and their resources.

AJ, being the kind of guy he is, could very well be blamed if violence does occur. May be a smart move for him to stay on the sidelines.

Everything I have researched as far as that allegation turns out not being able to be proven as far as I can see.
Anyone else find anything on that accusation?

Well I am not willing to die over a man who has lost his permit to graze cattle and will not comply.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

AJ is a prime example of that guy you know who's always telling if something ever happens to you, just know I got your back, and when that moment arrives his the last person you'l see.
He makes money in misery , he sells drama. He's is claiming that its this Big Reid thing, when a poster already showed that this solar plant contract got canceled last year.

Other than AJ does anyone actually have recent video or eyes on the ground there? It would not surprise me one bit if AJ made up the bit about the threat to shoot. The guy is a tool.

We are talking about grazing cattle on public land.

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.
