Bundy denies firing gunshots near US researchers in Nevada

Source: AP

By MARTIN GRIFFITH

Nevada rancher and states' rights advocate Cliven Bundy says contract researchers for the federal Bureau of Land Management had no business being on land where he grazes cattle, but denies he or his supporters fired gunshots near them.

Three employees of a nonprofit Nevada organization told authorities they were monitoring water sources in the remote Gold Butte area, about 100 miles northeast of Las Vegas, on June 5 when they were approached by two men who asked what they were doing.

The researchers left after six shots were fired later that night near their camp in an area that's being considered for federal protection as a national conservation area.

Bundy says he and his son, Ryan, encountered the trio on June 5, but didn't learn about the shooting until nearly a week later.

Federal Government I don't understand why the Feds don't step in, put a lien on all his property, and then take it for non payment.

I'd NOT BE surprised to find out ol' Bundy's being afforded the same status as big corporations (remember - they ARE people!) and Wall Street hot shots. And we don't see them a-payin' anythin' on what they owes - do we???

Entrepreneur Cliven is simply a model of how things will be once the TPP and them uther swind.... er "trade agreemints git a-put on the backs of us peons (pee-ons).

<-- Cliven Bundy : "What horns? Oh mah cattle!"

99% with everyone refusing to pay taxes. Why should corporations and the 1%ers be the only ones who refuse to bow to the Government. If there were to be a wholesale revolt, just what would they be able to do? You only have so much room in the prisons and you would need to have money to pay the private prison industry.

To me, if the Republicans want to push Religious Freedom Acts I would love to see a huge waive of people adopting the Quaker religion (or any other anti-war religition) and then refusing to pay taxes to fund the military because your religion does not believe in war.

Congressman Cresant Hardy comes from Bundy's neighborhood and then we have another real winner by the name of Michele Fiore all showed up at the Bundy Rally. This Guy will go down,it is all about the timing and of course secrecy. The last Rodeo in Bunkerville was a joke,couple of people running for Political Office tipped Bundy off to what were and how. Hardy and Fiore got elected and the other guy was running for Sheriff was a shit tail Bundy Relative or family bud.

Just like fellow whack-job George Zimmerman, he keeps pushing the boundaries until justice finally reaches around and kicks him in the ass.

Maybe we can call it "pulling a full OJ".

He owes more than $1 million in taxes. Now, what happens to us if we don't pay our taxes and we threaten the feds with guns? Biggest mistake was letting this asshole get away with it in the first place.

He won't pay rent for use of the land, claims the land is his and isn't shot (or even arrested) when he threatens law enforcement people with his goons and guns. Haul his ass to jail.
