FBI investigating Bundy supporters in BLM dispute[W:338]

You want to live in a quasi totalitarian socialist state? Go to Venezuela.

Nope, I want to live in a state where neither right wing nor left wing militias get to sieze public recesources for the benefit of their followers.

If you want to live in a state where militias (ethnic, political, religous, social) frequently sieze a dazzling variety of public recesources using a dazzling variety of "justifications" to enrich themselves as individuals, I would recommend that you move to say, Somalia, many parts of Africa, or eastern Ukraine.

I don't necessarily agree with how Bundy went about it, but from the IRS to the EPA this government is out of control.
I am not an EPA fan. But.... Bundy exempted himself (no surprise) from paying (no surprise) grazing fees years before the EPA put restrictions on the area.

Charging fees for the use of public land makes the US a totalitarian socialist state?

What would allowing anyone to log, graze, or mine without restrictions or payments make it?
Somalia- if you see a public recesource that you want, form a militia, toss out a "justification", and sieze it.

So, here it comes....Round 2.

And in true authoritarian style, a full propaganda effort will accompany the suppression of any possible uprising to ensure that the sheep soaking up the reports will know who "the bad guy" is supposed to be....

Remember Orwell.....​OBEY!

Those who pointed loaded weapons at law enforcement officials need to be investigated, and held accountable for their actions. If I point a gun at a law enforcement official, I deserve what I get. So should they. Just because they are Tea Party wackos shouldn't let them off the hook.
 
It's there. It's classified Super Duper Double Top Secret, and the reason you couldn't find it is because you didn't have the special decoder ring that comes in specially marked boxes of Cracker Jack. LOL.

When Hatch, New Mexico flooded some years ago, people lost use of their homes, apartments and businesses, FEMA came in, cordoned off a very large area with chain link fence complete with barbed wire, and set up mobile trailers in Rincon, it almost, or virtually looked like a prison camp.

4 years later, some Hatch flood victims still in FEMA trailers - El Paso Times

Moochers?
 
Depends on who you ask.

Yes, it does.
You can ask people who understand that the moocher didn't pay his fees and should be evicted, just like any renter who doesn't pay the rent, or
You can ask people who see this is some sort of David vs. Goliath battle with the federal government as the evil Goliath.
