[Iehooligan11b]

Just heard about this. Some of the same people from the Bundy Ranch standoff involved as well. Tensions got pretty high last time.

Oh silly welfare ranchers...

Protesting the arrest of poachers?

[Iehooligan11b]

Not really sure what they realistically plan to accomplish with this. And the dude showing up in full multicams and knee pads and all? Bit ridiculous

[Thumper]

They're Idiots, playing right into o's hands. UFB

I am having a hard time figuring out who is protesting what? Feds are saying a rancher and his son set a fire to cover up their poaching and they were found guilty and are being sent to prison. Some of the locals and anti-government folks think the feds are trying to grab land. Huh?

I think our group of resident "barely containing themselves, ready to stand shoulder to shoulder to fight the vast anti-Merica conspiracy" steely eyed heroes need head out there and get this mess straightened out.

Lol I'm with ya on that

I read this on Fox News, they are protesting cause they already served their time one guy in his 70's son in his 40's then a federal judge decided they weren't sentenced for long enough and wants them to serve another 5 years starting tomorrow.

I thought they were protesting Black Lives Matter with all those anti-BLM signs

I could see being ****** off about that

Just think what you would be saying about all these "from my cold dead hand" types on these forums after the media reports their slanted views.

On the gun forums you read they ain't takin my guns all the time. Each little isolated pocket will be treated just the same as this.

These may or may not be lunies, but look how quick people are to jump to that conclusion.

I agree - it seems unfair. I am not understanding what the protesters would like the have happen? From what I've read, the original sentencing judge made a mistake in assessing the sentence.

[gumbl3]

Why do these stories always involve the BLM?

I guess I don't understand their jurisdiction and what they're doing that constantly keeps everyone getting tee'd off
