It's not about the brothers. This whole thing is about selfish people who want to make as much money as they can using communal property. The brothers were a thin excuse to act like big shots.
Funny how people ranting about the Constitution (IMHO the rule of LAW) ignore the legal process because it doesn't give them the answer they want. Don't they have a member of Congress to represent them? At least one in the House of Representatives and two in the Senate. Don't they have lobbying groups to represent them? Are they blocked from the Federal courts?
So what do they do? They show up with guns and threaten violence.
To me a major foundation of our nation is the rule of law not guns.
Do they want to go down the road of a huge chunk of the Third World? Do they want a nation run by whoever has the most guns?
Bundy keeps making statements about listening to the locals but they're still there after locals loudly told them, to their faces, to go away. The goofs keep inviting more armed strangers to this area. How would you react if armed strangers took over the house next door and publicly invited more random strangers (unknown even to the first group) to move in?
I love the fact that the one guy drives into town for supplies in a government truck. Using tax payer gas and putting miles on a tax payer owned vehicle to save his own money. THAT'S what is important to these guys - THEIR money and THEIR fame
They tear down a length of fence between the refuge and the neighboring ranch, Did they ask to rancher what he wanted? NO. Like a bunch of stupid teenagers, they tear apart something just to tear it apart. The rancher had to reinstall the fence himself.
