Cut to about the 27 minute mark where the Sheriff points out they don't want outsiders getting into their business and the crowd goes wild in support of the Sheriff. This video was posted by Pete Santilli who is just about as crazy as they come. You can tell from the comment section they didn't like the reaction of the town. But what is telling is listening to the Nazi type tactics the Bundy group has brought to the town. I am wondering why this hasn't been reported on by the national news? These folks have been absolutely lawless and extremely intimidating and disrespectful to the town of Burns.
Note, it also sounds like he has edited the video as it cuts out from time to time so who knows what goodies have been edited out. Santelli also leaves because he can tell it's not going his way and then makes a bunch of insane comments at the end of the video.

(28,929 posts)I think if it were up to him they would be taken out forcibly but how can a couple of Sheriff's take on these guys. It's up to the FBI and they are being told to stand down until they know the PR war has gone completely against Bundy.

(50,986 posts)--missing some of it but I think catching the guy's general drift.
He says he will only negotiate with the local sheriff and wants no other government involvement generally and no FBI involvement particularly. It does not seem to me that that's his call to make.
