The BLM are pulling out and leaving due to the safety of the public. Now let's see what Bundy will do for the safety of the public
Will he peacefully remove his cattle as ordered by the courts?
Will he pay the back fees of a million dollars the government says he owes as I doubt any court is going to take his claim of him not recognizing the BLM as the authority in charge of the land as a defense as it seems two courts have alright ruled against his defense strategy?
Or will he and his family continue to defy the law and not pay their grazing fees provoking yet another armed showdown with the Federal government?
And before you all jump all over me I don't agree with the way the government handled the whole mess or the Wyoming family EPA mess or the California Smelt mess and I do not have an agenda like others have been accused of but if you stopped paying your lease fees to a private owner how long do you think you would be allowed to graze your herds on the his land? If you were to go to court and claim you did not recognize him to be the owner of the land as your family has been grazing the land for years before the guy bought/ inhereited it, do you think that would get you out of your obligations to pay your back fees or have to get out so the land owner could do as he pleased with his land?
AGAIN I don't agree with how the BLM handled it but I might have had a bit more sympathy for Bundy if he had been paying his fees and not claiming he did not recognize the BLM's authority. I don't feel the BLM was the only ones handling the mess wrong, as I see it Bundy used the hate for this publicly over reaching government to push his defiance to the court orders against him and won for now!!!
