Bundy Thugs Shout Down Environmental Protesters At Malheur Refuge

[phantom power]

“Bundy, the militias say they want to take this and give it back to the people. Well guess what? The people already own it,” he said. “It’s our public land.”

Suckling said what the Bundys are trying to do is part of a larger movement around the American West to turn millions of acres of public lands over to mining companies, developers, loggers and other corporations.

Things got heated when Suckling tried to deliver a statement to assembled media.

...

Pete Santilli, host of a show on YouTube and a strong advocate for the militants occupying the refuge, and other supporters of the occupiers, kept interrupting Suckling.

“We allowed you to speak,” Suckling shouted to Santilli and others. “I will ask you to allow me my free speech here.”

Santilli responded minutes later by getting a megaphone out of the back of his SUV. Walking back to face Suckling, Santilli shouted into the megaphone,“He wants the government to handle the public land, not the people of Harney County. That’s what he wants. That’s what he’s suggesting.”

...

“I’m the counter demonstration,” said Jay Godfrey, a long-distance hiker from Oklahoma. “Our public lands are not going to be taken away at the barrel of a gun.”

So says a man who is not from Harney County.
