Yesterday - Bundy Ranch

[Hantlers]

I guess you haven't been out there to see the support, huh? Your statement is simply false.
I have been out there. It is unreal.

Well I guess it's different out there.

I know how it is here, so that's what I'm going off of.

Legally, the Bundy's don't have much to stand on, and some of their claims are fairly idiotic, to be honest.

Look at how many people show up to protest soldier funerals. Just because masses of ignorant sheep group up with cardboard signs doesn't change facts. Sorry about that.

I can certainly see both sides of the argument, I really can. I can totally see the point of view of the BLM. And the Bundy clan, while good folks, can be an arrogant bunch. I know this because I know them (and I am related to them), but the handling of this by the BLM/Feds is unbelievable. It is scary. It is hypocritical. It is the federal government trying to flex their muscles and show their power.
And like someone else in this thread said (PKM maybe?) depending on the article, you don't get the entire story (probably from either side, to be honest).
But one thing is certain....snipers and surveillance and helicopters and heavy artillery and feds everywhere?? A little over the top.

Doesn't change what facts? hantlers said you wouldn't find many ranchers siding with the Bundys. I responded that there were several. It wasn't a question of right or wrong....i was responding to his misinterpreted understanding of the situation.

Have you talked to them? If not how do you know they are ignorant of what is going on? Just because they don't agree with you does not mean ignorance.

 

[Stoked]

From what I have seen most of his support is from anti government type a that are just fed up with the government. Wonder how tense that cattle round up is right now.

I'll respond to both of you, since you're both saying the same thing essentially; my comment was a generalization. I don't have a dog in this fight other than I find it annoying when one side accuses the other of bias and misinformation, when it appears that they are guilty of the exact same thing. My point wasn't directed at the supportive ranchers, or lack thereof, but in general. Take the "Occupy" movement for example. What percentage of those protestors really had any clue what they were protesting, and how many people were only there because they read about it on Facebook and needed a reason to go get wasted? Big groups of supporters doesn't really mean jack ****.

Especially in small towns where there is nothing to do.

You seem loyal almost to a fault. It has nothing to do with the thread really, just an observation I've noticed over time.

In other news, the first E.J. Wells post I clicked on redirected me to a red screen saying my web security had blocked something on the page. Weird.

Not really. But I am passionate about all sides being heard... media be damned.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Fine... **** it. I'm sick of America. ADIOS.. flamingos.
