Defiant Nevada rancher faces armed federal agents in escalating confiscation standoff - BizPac Review

Nevada Governor Calls Federal Cattle Roundup ‘Intimidation’ « CBS Las Vegas

'Wake up America,' says family involved in BLM cattle dispute | KSL.com

The guy has been a long time violator.

Uncle Sam?

His cows are on land that his family has ranched for over a indeed years

In violation not paying his fees. Might as well walk into a gov office and grab some equipment.

His case would probably be a lot stronger if he'd paid his fees.

It's true that the federal government owns way too much of Nevada and that's something that should be addressed, but in this case it looks like the rancher is about to be out of the ranching business.

The guy is just trying to feed the crowd at McD's; he's nothing more than a 'paper criminal' if that. He should have paid the lease fees, or not used the grazing leases, however the police response is over-the-top. The heavy handed response is what's expected with a militarized police force. They have the gear, they will use it. Too bad they can't pursue real criminals with that enthusiasm.

I suspect that we are only hearing half the story.
And that half doesn't make Mr Rancher look real good....

After they round up all his cows, he won't be a rancher, and he won't need to graze animals.

If he felt he had a legitimate claim, he should have pursued it years ago.
Now he is just a grand scale scofflaw.

What happened to "Law and Order Larry'? The one who has argued countless times that the law has to be followed? The one who has argued that if you want to challenge the law there are avenues that one must pursue? This guy is a criminal by your standard. Should he not be treated as one?

And YOU are "the decider"? Correct me if I am wrong but I thought you believe in the court system to decide disputes? If so, are you coming out with the idea that your failure to argue your case or inability to win the case is meaningful?

Wouldn't it be better use of tax dollars to have these officers guarding the border instead?? Lots of resources being wasted here...
