BIG MISTAKE for Feds to have backed down from Bundy's gunslingers, now we get more Bundy Buttholes
Miners dredge protected Idaho river in protest of federal oversight
Protesters gathered to illegally dredge for gold on Tuesday in an Idaho river where such mining is banned, in an open challenge to the U.S. government's authority to regulate public waters and lands in Western states, an organizer said.
Six of nearly 60 miners at the rally were using portable pumps and hoses to collect gravel and sand from the streambed of a stretch of the federally protected Salmon River, which is closed to suction dredging and other mining by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to protect imperiled fish.
"It's a matter of states' rights," Organizer John Crossman, head of the Southwest Idaho Mining Association in Boise, said in a telephone interview in which he described as overreach a recent rule by the EPA requiring permits to mine rivers in mostly Western states.
"This is the United States of America, not the 'United State' of America. The feds can't come in here like storm troopers and start running our lands and rivers," he added.
The week-long demonstration in Idaho by a group of self-styled cons utionalists will be capped on by an Independence Day rally in Riggins to denounce what Crossman termed "government tyranny."
The miners at the protest near the town of Riggins said they hadn't sought permits to suction dredge in the river, required under the federal Clean Water Act, because they don't recognize the EPA's regulatory powers.
The EPA said in a statement it respects the rights of citizens to peacefully protest on federal lands but added dredging the Salmon could harm habitat for species like Chinook salmon protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, and violating federal law.

The ship has already set sail on this one, what else were they going to do engage in a shoot out with the bundy protesters and REALLY get started? The failures of 60 years of liberal politics are coming home to roost and there's nothing you or they can do to stop it. There will be more standoffs, we'll take back more rights, and that's whether they want to do the right thing and give them back or if we have to go and take them ourselves.
I'll be spending the 4th of July today out on a ranch firing the Barrett 50 cal anti communist rifle, what are you metrosexual pantywaists going to do about it?
Sheriff, feds: Rancher must be held accountable
U.S. Bureau of Land Management officials say they agree with a Nevada sheriff's position that rancher Cliven Bundy must be held accountable for his role in an April standoff between his supporters and the federal agency.
Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie said Bundy crossed the line when he allowed states' rights supporters, including self-proclaimed militia members, onto his property to aim guns at police.
"If you step over that line, there are consequences to those actions," Gillespie told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "And I believe they stepped over that line. No doubt about it. They need to be held accountable for it."
Bureau spokeswoman Celia Boddington, in a statement released Saturday to The Associated Press, said the agency continues to pursue the matter "aggressively through the legal system."
"There is an ongoing investigation and we are working diligently to ensure that those who broke the law are held accountable," she said, declining to elaborate.
The FBI declined comment Saturday on its investigation. Bundy did not respond to a request for comment.
The Bureau of Land Management says Bundy owes over $1 million in fees and penalties for trespassing on federal property without a permit over 20 years. Bundy, whose ancestors settled in the area in the late 1800s, refuses to acknowledge federal authority on public lands.
A federal judge in Las Vegas first ordered Bundy in 1998 to remove "trespass cattle" from land the bureau declared a refuge for the endangered desert tortoise. Bureau officials obtained court orders last year allowing the roundup.
Boddington disputed Gillespie's contention the agency mishandled the roundup of Bundy's cattle 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.
The bureau backed down during the showdown with Bundy and his armed supporters, citing safety concerns, and released some 380 Bundy cattle collected during a weeklong operation from a vast arid range half the size of the state of Delaware.
Gillespie blamed the bureau for escalating the conflict and ignoring his advice to delay the roundup after he had a confrontational meeting with Bundy's children a few weeks before it began.
"I came back from that saying, 'This is not the time to do this,' " the sheriff told the Review-Journal. "They said, 'We do this all the time. We know what we're doing. We hear what you're saying, but we're moving forward.'"
Tensions further escalated early in the roundup after a video showed one of Bundy's sons being stunned with a Taser. The video drew militia members and others to Bundy's ranch.
Bundy was not a hardened criminal, Gillespie told the newspaper. He was a rancher who stopped paying his fees, the sheriff said, and that was not worth risking violence.

Got them all in one spot, this is what carpet bombing was made for...
There is no armed standoff.
"There is absolutely no armed standoff," she wrote. "They want us to know: They are simply occupying land and a building owned by 'We The People.' Our tax dollars. And that for them, this is a civil peaceful protest."
Law enforcement has so far not engaged protesters.
http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-no...rtland_article
(n) During the trial proceedings, Federal Court Judge Michael Hogan did not allow time for certain testimonies and evidence into the trail that would exonerate the Hammonds. Federal prosecuting attorney, Frank Papagni, was given full access for 6 days. He had ample time to use any evidence or testimony that strengthened the demonization of the Hammonds. The Hammonds attorney was only allowed 1 day. Much of the facts about the fires, land and why the Hammonds acted the way they did was not allowed into the proceedings and was not heard by the jury. For example, Judge Hogan did not allow time for the jury to hear or review certified scientific findings that the fires improved the health and productivity of the land. Or, that the Hammonds had been subject to vindictive behavior by multiple federal agencies for years.
There's a legal remedy for that, it's called an appeal.
We moved on from duels and other armed bull to adjudicate justice 100+ years ago.
It ain't coming back either...

"I didn't come here to shoot I came here to die."#bundymilitia, (will ID only as "Capt. Moroni")
According to Jason Wilson, who drove in from Portland to cover the stand-off for theGuardian, “There were no law enforcement agents visible in the area around the refuge. A man with a goatee beard and wraparound sunglasses stood guard, armed with an AR-15-style rifle, and refused entry to the federally owned facility.”
“He declined to give his name or affiliation, citing ‘operational security,'”Wilson wrote.
“He did confirm, however, that the men – several of whom were openly carrying assault weapons – would be camping on the site.
‘This public land belongs to we the people,’ he said.
‘We’ll be here enjoying the snow and the scenery.’”

As The Bundy Brothers Occupy Federal Building, Here Are The GOP Candidates Who Supported Their Dad
Candidates who strongly supported Bundy
Rand Paul
Sen. Paul was one of the earliest endorsers of Cliven Bundy, telling Fox News in 2014, “There is a legitimate cons utional question here about whether the state should be in charge of endangered species or whether the federal government should be.”
He rejected classifying Bundy and his gun-toting supporters as domestic terrorists, urging Sen. Harry Reid and others who used the term to “calm the rhetoric.”
Paul also personally met with the rancher for about 45 minutes during a campaign stop last June, when he two “mainly discussed federal land oversight and states’ rights, in addition to education policy,” according to Politico. One of Bundy’s sons was reportedly also present during the encounter, although it’s unclear which one.
Despite Paul’s support, however, Bundy wasn’t impressed with the senator’s support for groups such as the American Lands Council, which raises money to buy land from the federal government and return it to the states.
“I disagree with that philosophy,” Bundy said. “My stand is we are already a sovereign state. The federal government doesn’t need to turn this land back to us. It’s already state land. I don’t want to sell this land to private ownership, because I believe I already have stewardship…I don’t claim ownership. I claim rights.”
He added, “I educated Rand on that point.”
Ted Cruz
In April 2014, Cruz aligned himself with Bundy’s core complaint — government overreach — and called the standoff “the unfortunate and tragic culmination of the path that President Obama has set the federal government on.”
Ben Carson
Carson was a vocal supporter of Bundy, saying he and the militia members who stood with him were “pretty upstanding people.” He also outlined a dystopian vision for the future that closely mirrors conspiracy theories embraced by branches of the radical right.
“But the fact of the matter is if you look back through history, what our government is doing is not unprecedented by any stretch of the imagination. It always starts like this, and freedom is not free — and there may come a time when people have to actually stand up against the government,” Carson said. “I hope that doesn’t happen.”
Candidates who broadly supported Bundy’s cause
Donald Trump
While appearing on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show in April 2014, Trump expressed sympathy for Bundy, saying, “I like him, I like his spirit, his spunk and the people that are so loyal…I respect him.”
Trump stopped short of uniformly endorsing Bundy’s resistance to the government, however, noting, “You do have laws in the country and you know, if everybody did what he’s doing, where does it all go?” Instead, Trump saw the protest as an opportunity for the rancher to “cut a deal” with the government.
“He’s in a great position to cut a great deal and I think that’s what he should do,” he said.
Meanwhile, Bundy himself is a Trump supporter.
Mike Huckabee
Huckabee addressed the Bundy standoff while speaking at the conservative Freedom Summit in April 2014. He insisted that he didn’t want address Bundy’s specific grievances about land usage, explaining, “I’m not here to jump in to the middle of whether Cliven Bundy ought to pay the state or pay anybody for the chance for his cows to eat some grass.”
But Huckabee did criticize the federal government taking action to enforce the law.
“There is something wrong when a government believes that some blades of grass that a cow is eating is so…an egregious affront to the government of the United States that we would literally put a gun in a citizen’s face and threaten to shoot him over it,” Huckabee said, drawing applause from the crowd.

The Feds backed down, wimped out on free-rider/moocher Bundy, so now they have more assholes terrorizing US govt property.
It was appealed to the Supreme Court which refused to hear it meaning 9th circuit ruling stands. The whole militia thing is stupid, and the Hammonds don't even want them there, but I don't doubt the Hammonds were ed with royally by the Feds leading up to all of this.
It's entertaining watching you and moan about an overreaching government in one thread and lick the boots of an overreaching government in another.
Radical Islamic terrorists go on a killing spree: "Blame the NRA and all conservatives! It's not terrorism! #NotAllMuslims #RefugeesWelcome"
A couple white inbreds squat in some shack in the woods: "Jail those terrorists! Traitors!"
I'm no fan of how things are relatively tilted toward prosecutors and the criminal system is certainly not all roses, but they had their day in court, apparently more than once. Furthermore they appear willing to surrender to authorities.
it's hilarious to see your ed up takes, GFY
