Standoff: Nevada Rancher Threatens "Range War" Against The Feds

by JASmius

Um, not to douse anybody's patriotic enthusiasm here, because I really do share it, but if you're one man and you're facing an army of armed BLM goons that have completely surrounded your property, and they've already started stealing your cattle, and they've already captured your son as a de facto hostage, is this really the time to start hurling martial threats?  Does it sound to anybody else like Clive Bundy has decided to embrace martyrdom?



The answer, of course, is that Mr. Bundy believes his indisputable virtue will be its own reward, and he'll call the feds' bluff because the White House won't want a PR nightmare like this with all the other self-created headaches they've got to deal with these days.

But.....what if he's wrong?  What if it becomes a Kent State type incident where Mr. Bundy is killed by accident.  Or what if the feds back up their "he's an outlaw" rhetoric, regard him as a dangerous criminal, and kill him deliberately?  And what if they wind up taking down some of the patriots who have gone to his spread to stand beside him?

In short, do he and they know what they might be getting themselves into?  Do they truly know their enemy?  If so, Mr. Bundy is courageously putting his proverbial money where his mouth is; if not, this could end in tragedy, and the Obama Regime's supersaturated tyranny could reach its crystallization point.

No. Clive Bundy sounds like he's has enough of the FedGov's tyranny and is fighting back for his Rights. What would you have him do? Roll over and capitulate? When is enough Federal tyranny enough? When it affects you personally and that collar of slavery is finally locked around your neck?

IOW, count the cost. Taking a principled stand is heroic, but it oftentimes doesn't end well.
