Cliven Bundy’s Son Is Rosa Parks Of Riding ATVs Through Protected Native Lands

by Gary Legum

... Having made their point about letting welfare cattle mooch off the publicly owned lands of Nevada, Cliven Bundy’s idiot supporters turned their sights on freeing ATVs, with an illegal ride through Recapture Canyon in southeastern Utah. The ride was endorsed and encouraged by Bundy, who told his supporters in an email, “We need to help the people of Blanding re-establish who is in control of the land. This is your next stand. Will you be there to help them like you helped us?”

The Bureau of Land Management had banned ATVs and other recreational vehicles from Recapture Canyon to preserve archaeological sites and artifacts from Native American culture ...

The ride was actually organized by San Juan County Commissioner Phil Lyman, who claims the locals have tried to compromise with the BLM on re-opening the canyon to motorized vehicles. But now they are tired of the federal government not recognizing their God-given right as Americans to speed terrain-chewing noisemakers through fragile archaeological sites sacred to the people who lived on the land first ...

According to the L.A. Times ...

One man said: “Rosa Parks didn’t have a case until she sat in the front of the bus.” Another added: “The BLM has guns and mace and Tasers and shackles, but we’ve got guns too!”
