Freedom Cattle
Via TPM:
Based on information about conditions on the ground, and in consultation with law enforcement, we have made a decision to conclude the cattle gather because of our serious concern about the safety of employees and members of the public, Bureau of Land Management Director Neil Kornze said, according to ABC News.
Self-described militias had come to protest the government action against Cliven Bundy, a cattle rancher who is feuding with BLM over his use of federal land.
You know who the self-described militias are blaming all of this on, of course: the evil Kenyan gay socialist in the White House who dictated the terms using his dictatorial powers of Executive Order 12548, signed in 1986 by Ronald Reagan.http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/speeches/1986/21486b.htm

(92 posts)A large group of protesters, some armed , some not, were marching toward the BLM armed officers near the cattle holding pens. BLM broadcasted that if they continued to advance they would be shot. The protesters continued to advance up to the metal fence, just yards away from BLM officer and a SWAT team. The protesters demanded the cattle be release and they were.
BLM represents the US GOVERNMENT, they had legal authority to enforce a judges orders. BLM let a group of protesters control the situation. If a government agent can not enforce a judges order, then who can?
Although I do not wish for conflict, when do we stop theses type of protesters. A government agent can not allow protesters to dictate when they will act and how. We can not allow a group to defy the law and do as they please. Society has rules that we all must obey, even if we disagree. I fear this victory by the group will spread to other groups and then we will have people demanding all kinds of actions or refusing to obey lawful orders by a government agent.
